Basil Cherry Tomatoes

This is the last of the sides our friends brought over for a dinner on the 4th.

I love cherry tomatoes. Especially if they are as sweet and juicy as these were.

Who would believe such a simple recipe could taste so good.

Bolognese with Pasta

 

This delicious sauce is a true MEAT sauce with a rich wine based sauce. While it does have tomatoes it doesn’t use tomato sauce.

Tuna Cassarole

This is a Jaque classic. We don’t know where she came up with the recipe. But it is always good. Even the kids love it and actually request it!

Tossed Salad

This is a simple tossed salad that can be used as a side dish for most any main course. Simply adjust the dressing as appropriate for the cuisine.

Tortellini Alfredo

We love Alfredo. Usually we ‘cheat’ and buy store bought just because.

Funny thing is, you don’t really save much time doing that. Alfredo is so easy and the home made version is so much better.

Give it a go and see if you don’t agree

Thai Noodles

I don’t know if this recipe is really an authentic Thai recipe. But we were told it was.

Not to long after we got married an older couple used to invite us over on the weekends for dinner and games. He was friends with a Thai Restaurant owner and got him to share one of their “family” recipes. When we visited we would all get together and prep the vegetables and spices. Afterwards he would do the stir frying and then we would all sit down for a nice evening of food and games.

I don’t really know what the name of the dish is but we just call it

Pad Grapow (Thai Basil Chicken)

We tried this recipe tonight. It was originally posted by TheRichmondAvenue

We love Thai food and when I saw this I was intrigued by its simplicity and combination of flavors.

It was so good I just had to capture it just in case the original post disappears.

Tomatoes with Basil-Garlic Bread

This is almost like a little Margarita Pizza. It’s so tasty it’s almost addictive. But it is so easy to make. It pairs wonderfully with our Tuscan soup.

Tuscan Soup

We love this recipe. We originally had a recipe like this at the Olive Garden. I think they now use Kale instead of Spinach. Anyway I searched High and Low until I found this taste alike version of their recipe. Sadly, I don’t remember where I found it so that I can give proper attribution.
