Good food feeds the soul
Gnocchi alla Sorrentina is one of my absolute FAVORITE Italian pasta dishes. And it’s vegetarian! The ooey, gooey cheese with red sauce gets a ‘YES, please from,’ me. Pair with a side salad, some crusty bread, and a nice glass of red wine and you …
Both the hubby and I HATED Tuna Noodle Casserole growing up. Our moms had the same playbook for making it (I suspect a recipe from the back of one of the products they used in the recipe). Dump two cans of tuna and one can …
