Just wanted to tell you that I love your blog! I love the simple approachable ideas you share. Keep up the good work!

ReplyDeleteMelissa - It's so nice to see comments from you. :) I put peas in one of my alfredo with sausage dishes once...delish!
wifeplzak - Awww...thanks, hon!
I hope you get over the phase of garlic giving you heartburn... I love garlic!!
ReplyDeleteYour pesto pasta with peas looks divine :)
