A good Bolognese Sauce is such a comfort food for me! I found this recipe in The Book of Pasta by Lesley Mackley back in the early 90s.

Overnight Layered Green Salad
This is recipe that was popular in the 70’s when I was a kid. My mom never made it but I must have had it at some church potluck or something. It was ubiquitous back then. Anyway, my friend Kim Van Vlear brought it to a neighborhood party and it brought me back to my childhood memories of this. It…

Their recipe has you making the pasta from scratch and twirling the strands of homemade pasta around a knitting needle which sounds amazing but these store bought ones were…
Henry’s Amazing Stuffed Burgers with Bacon and Pepper Buns

He had watched a video from Epic Meal Time’s Handle It series and told me about these about a year and a half ago. We made these while were living at my mother’s house during our Laguna house remodel and I…
