That is my favorite pasta dish. Never made it at home, but love it out to eat.

Favorite Quick Dinner

Don't know if you have a pannini maker, but there are great, quick sandwiches that can be made. I make mozzarella and tomato sandwiches or tuna melts.

Coffee..Please?

I, too, get the baking bug when the weather cools down. I made banana muffins and zuchinni bread last week. I've spoiled my kids into thinking that they need to have variety for breakfast!

Linguine with seafood

I cannot wait to try this receipe! We also love pasta and enjoy trying different receipes. My husband LOVES the seafood ones and I cannot wait to surprise him! Thanks....

Linguine with seafood

When my husband and I were in Italy two summers ago we indulged in nearly every form of pasta. My favorite? Linguine ai Fruitti de Mare or pasta with seafood. It's seriously delicious, and now, thanks to Self Magazine, it's also low fat! There's calls for mussels, scallops and shrimp ... but whatever is freshest (clams, crab, frozen shrimp) surely will work.

Coffee..Please?

I will put a roast in a crock pot before I go to bed, and by morning it is so tender and delicious. I throw in some Lipton Onion Soup mix and I pick up some fresh buns or bread at the bakery and pick up a bag of chips. Bring some mustard and pickles and your'e good to go! If there will be a larger group, put in 2 roasts. IT IS SO EASY...NO MESS and a HUGE HIT!!! If the picnic is in the evening you can put the roast on in the early morning.

Coffee..Please?

Bette3 — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 23:26:29 GMT

I only drink coffee when I dine out! I don't use my coffee pot except when I have company. I love cappuccino when I dine at an Italian restaurant or at my local french bakery! Because I don't drink it daily it is a real treat when I do!

Coffee..Please?

I drink coffee... and LOVE it! I could have a cup... or two... or three a day!

Coffee..Please?

0 I rarely drink coffee. I have heard the same good and bad!

Coffee..Please?

RealityChic — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 14:47:22 GMT

I've heard good things about coffee and bad things, but I know one thing. I'm addicted!!

How many cups do you have a day? Could you go without it?

Baking

kapley — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 18:38:20 GMT

@JulieK I agree summer months I don't bake much. It was rainy and stuff so it is a nice cool day! So I thought why not dive into some baking!! I love no-bakes (hahaha that doesn't count to baking right?!?) and chocolate chip walnut cookies. I am gluten free, so I bake with a special flour mix, it taste really good. It has almond flour in it so very whole grainish taste!!

Have you ever added coconut to your oatmeal choc cookies!? It adds some really good flavor!

Baking

JulieK — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 18:29:17 GMT

I am the same way, kapley! I haven't baked a thing this summer, but am always baking in the fall and winter. I make banana bread once a week, during those months!

What kind of cookies? My go-to is oatmeal chocolate chip. I am always looking for new cookie recipes, though!

I know when the weather starts cooling off I get in to the mood to bake away. Today it is kinda cool so I am gonna bake some cookies and make breakfast burrito's for hubby for his breakfast. Anyone else love to bake or baking today?

Favorite Quick Dinner

aliciazitka — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 15:28:52 GMT

Some favorite quick dinners of mine include : salad, soup, or sandwich... or in the summer, cutting up a variety of veggies and throwing them on the grill with chicken or beef.
