Rose pasta sauce with capers and cheese
Another simple, easy dinner. The title pretty much speaks for the dish.
Saturday brunch with spinach bake and Italian salad
This Saturday brunch included a personal-sized baked spinach shakshuka, an Italian-style chopped salad, chocolate chip cookies made with the New York Times’ recipe, and more. Brunch is always a pleasure.
