Matt’s sister and I had a conversation yesterday about how the Hallorans are obsessed with basil. I believe this to be true, as Matt perks up whenever I talk about making something with fresh basil Tonight I made a delish pasta from Sunset magazine (my fave). It’s just whole wheat pasta combined with [...]
On this cloudy 4th of July, I’m trying to remind myself of the sunshine we’ve been having around here. This sunshine left us with that wonderful blissful feeling that can only come after months and months and months of cold weather and no sunshine.
Matt and I have been digging salmon on the grill recently. Last [...]
Matt and I had one of those perfect days where all we do is stay home and work on all of those home chores/projects that provide oh-so-much satisfaction.
Matt spent his day building us a new screen door.

They left our [...]

So to make the dressing, you first cook 5 pieces [...]
