When I was growing up, we had many a Thanksgiving that started off with a first course of manicotti or ravioli. This happened if we celebrated with my father's family who grew up in Italy and didn't really understand the American Thanksgiving traditions. I mean, it was a holiday, so manicotti were ...

The Thanksgiving countdown has begun! And mean countdown in a good way. My family and I are so excited for Thanksgiving. Funny, my husband suggested that we all go out to eat this year to give me a break, and my younger daughter actually started crying! It's everyone's favorite holiday and it ...

Quinoa Granola Recipe
I have made granola multiple ways from traditional to grain-free, with peanut butter and a salted dark chocolate version, too.
