Walker and I just finished watching Sopranos so we’ve been on an Italian food kick lately.

Walker LOVES pasta. Especially tortellini. I made this recipe for him a few weeks ago and he absolutely loved it. Serve this pasta with a great bottle of wine and some garlic bread and I promise you’ll be a happy camper.

“There’s nothing more romantic than Italian food.” -Elisha Cuthbert

I don’t think you can ever go wrong with short ribs and on top of grilled polenta its really a home run!  I made this dish for Walker a few weeks back and he fell in love with polenta (he had never had it before), which he called spolenta for about a week after.

Italian food is arguably one of my favorite things in the world.  I especially love homemade Italian food.  This dish is quick and easy.  As a started or even an entree with a light salad this recipe will wow everyone who comes in contact with it!

A Crumble To Love Berry Much

“Life is short. Eat dessert first.” -Unknown

I’ll toot my own horn here for a second- I am a great cook, but when it comes to baking I’ll admit I am not the best. When I cook I rarely use measuring cups and I only use recipes as a guide. When baking, you have to be much more precise than “a little of this and a little of that”. This berry crumble recipe is foolproof. I promise! It’s seriously the easiest and most delicious berry crumble ever! And just perfect for those summer BBQs coming up!
