Happy April! We went from a balmy 65 degrees this morning to a blustery “feels like” 39 degrees. So we are making soup! My husband’s favorite soup at Olive Garden is Zuppa Toscana. The kids and I usually get the Chicken Gnocci Soup. I am providing instructions for both preparations since some people will not …

Good morning everyone! It has been for- EV- UH! I wish I could post more 🙁 I have been working 50-60 hours per week between substitute teaching and photography while the hubby looks for a new job. The cleaning and cooking still need done… so the blog was put on the back burner. Currently, I …
