Creamy Lemon Lobster Fettuccini
You may remember a few weeks ago that we put our chef skills to the test and made homemade fettuccini. We have to admit that even after Jamie’s famous pasta fail in culinary school, the homemade pasta process is a lot of fun and really not too difficult if you give it your full attention.…

Valentine’s Day Cheese Board For Two

Cheesy Baked Penne

Rick The Baker’s Banana Bread
We were lucky to grow up in a household that both celebrated and encouraged cooking. Our mom cooked dinner almost every night and on Wednesday’s it was our dad’s turn to cook.
