I have lots of memories spending my summer days at our local community pool in our tiny little town. I’d spend hours at the pool and then come home for lunch and then go back to the pool for more fun.

I watch Food Network, I know big shocker there! Sometimes on Chopped, or other shows a judge will criticize the chef because there are too many ingredients or flavors going on in a dish. While I understand how sometimes a dish can have too much in it and the flavors compete instead of compliment or … More Kitchen Sink Pasta
Fellow Pinners, do you have a pin on Pinterest that a lot of people have either liked or pinned and you haven’t even tried yet?
