Did anyone try the Italian appetizer recipe?  Like??  You should let me know how you feel about it and also let me know if there are any Italian recipes you are looking for and I'll check out what I have! 


Moving right along with our Simply Italiano week, next is our Soup/Salad section...I thought a nice salad would be nice.  I love pasta, as you will start to see the more I post, so this not only has the nice crisp greens we all enjoy, but pasta too :)  So...grab your aprons and hold on to your chef hats!  We're gunna get cookin' up something good :)
