Quick and delicious weeknight meals
After making my first disappointing Barefoot Contessa dish on Saturday, I was very happy to make a super tasty dinner tonight! The recipe is a variation on a carbonara with the delicious addition of Brussels sprouts and lots of Pecorino. Not many notes on this …
When I started this blog back in 2009 (holy sh%t it’s been that long!), I said I would post the winners and the losers. This dish wasn’t a loser but it didn’t come together as I had hoped. The sauce didn’t thicken as described in …

I posted a photo of this recipe on Facebook about a month ago. It was the second time I made it and it is SO tasty. I’ve made it with sweet and hot sausage. Both work well. I also added some grilled corn (as seen …
