Ok, so you know I’m absolutely loving the Restaurants and Food section of Philly.com. Well, the other day they had this hilarious video from when Martha Stewart visited the Philly Inquirer newsroom.

You know the type where they HAVE to have your recipe and are emailing, texting and trying whatever means necessary to get it (or is that just me – heehee!) Well, one of the ones in my arsenal that have people going “Oh. My. God!” is this recipe that I saw on Everyday Italian. Since I tried it, I make sure to {Read More}
