culinary adventures and occasional disasters
This was the original reason I decided to make fried green tomatoes the other night. I had a repair person out for my lower oven that keeps turning itself on (yikes!) When we couldn't get it to replicate the issue, I decided it would be logical to make bacon in the upper oven since that's… Continue reading Fried Green Tomato BLT
I made this for dinner tonight (with leftovers for lunch tomorrow). This would be an easy weeknight meal - I'll definitely be making it again after work one night.

Sometimes I needed to add a little water to the… Continue reading Baked Rigatoni
