A Little of This and A Little of That

Twice a month I write a food column for a local newspaper The Pilot Independent called The Seasonal Plate. Recently Skillet Pasta with Ham and Cheese was posted. It's so gratifying for me when an avid reader tries one of my recipes. She even sent this photo. 

Sue E. wrote, " I tried this week's pasta recipe and we loved it! I even toasted the walnuts, they were fragrant and good for us!. Thank you for sharing this. It says it serves 3 but we'll definitely get another dinner out of it, and we did not even have salads!"

Early in the fall Audrey Kletscher Helbling, who blogs from southern Minnesota

at https://mnprairieroots.wordpress.com/, sent me this photo of her mouthwatering Blueberry Peach Galette she made based on my recipe. https://sockfairies.blogspot.com/2015/09/peach-galette-and-peach-margarita.html

Thank you Sue  E. and Audrey for your feedback

This image below will make you pause and think looking at the comparisons of sugar in leading pasta sauces and yogurt. Oh my!!

But even before I saw this image I had switched to buying Rao sauce as the quality and taste outshine the other leading products. Despite the higher cost than other sauces, it's a good choice. 

Lastly. I am sure you all have heard about the recent Vikings' win with the new quarterback Dobbs who put the V in victory.

To be ready for the next game no matter who your favorite team is 

Italian Sausage Grinders will be a hit with the fans. The recipe will be posted tomorrow.
