First of all, I am all about giving props to fellow bloggers. For those that aren't too familiar with The Pioneer Woman, Ree is a city gal who fell in love with a cowboy totally by chance – of course while sporting some seriously rockin' stilettos. Her first cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl, … [Read more...]

Donatella Arpaia Simplifies Pasta On The Today Show
Remember that incessant culinary goal of mine to learn how to make pasta?

Bertolli Goes Into The Heart of Italy
Bertolli is one of those brands that I trust, use often and adore. See, while I often can make my own sauce from scratch thanks to some quick learned recipes early in my culinary journey, I often keep a couple jars in the pantry to use in a pinch (like when I made my Eggs in Hell this weekend (recipe coming soon).
