Pesto Focaccia Italian Sub
Hello, once again, everyone! You all know how much I love Costco, right? Well, I was wandering around the bakery the other day (eyeing those amazing mini chocolate chip cookies— yes I resisted, I had to) when I came across a new item. Pesto focaccia. Now, I am a super fan of bread— and an even bigger fan of focaccia. But to put the two of these things together was mind blowing! I had to buy, so I did.

My Sister Stole My Mac & Cheese
Hello, once again! At family gatherings I’m often asked to bring food. Dessert, side dish, even the main dish (That was Easter 2018 at my brothers. I believe it was ribs ;-) ). Well, recently, my sister had a birthday party for my nephew Owen. My nephews mean the world to me, so of course I obliged! I thought about what a good side dish would be for burgers and hot dogs, of course I landed on macaroni and cheese! Now, I have made macaroni and cheese a million different ways. This time, I decided I would try to created an “old fashioned shells and cheese” recipe. Nice and creamy. Filled with lots of gooey cheese. And enough to feed a crowd!
