After a quick zip across the driveway we drove downtown to soak up the beautiful day along the riverfront....
When I first moved to the United States, I used to eat a lot in the mall. And Sbarro was my favorite place to eat and I was crazy about their Chicken Vesuvio. I used to make it a lot after we moved from Michigan. Recently I saw someone posted a dish on Instagram about Spaghetti in Garlic Sauce. And I thought to incorporate that sauce with spaghetti, and it turned out exceptionally good....

This past spring break the fam and I packed up our car then drove 17 hours south to Gulf Shores, AL. #WOOF But so worth it — we’d never been and were so impressed with the area!

When it comes to sweet corn, us Iowans are essentially walking, talking memes on the subject. Visit a grocery store in the summertime and you can have a conversation with anyone inside about the local grower without even saying their name — including the fact that they were three weeks late to harvest. Me, pointing to the mountain of sweet corn at the grocery store then turning to the produce guy: “Is this?...
I used always order these spring rolls whenever I go to a buffet in a Chinese restaurant. One time we accidentally order spring roll wrappers instead of rice wrappers for Vietnamese Summer Rolls. So instead of returning them, we thought of making Spring Rolls. I used vegetable filling as a stuffing in the spring rolls. They were easy to make and they were crispy in every bite. You can make these delicious Spring Rolls in the air fryer or you can also deep-fry them for a crispier look....
