Grilled Reuben Wraps – College Style
With both kids in college we spend quite a bit more time than usual at restaurants. I am still hesitant about eating in so we order out most often. We then “picnic” nearby and enjoy our time together. One of the places we have tried is a local college “joint” that specializes in wraps with…
Classic Baked Ziti
We are beginning to navigate cooking for two. We are marveling at how when we have leftovers they don’t disappear suddenly.

Velveeta Queso Dip

Christmas Cookies: Buttery Toffee Cookies
