Gorgonzola Pasta with Mushrooms

This is really good with a salad and breadsticks. Continue reading “Gorgonzola Pasta with Mushrooms” →

I believe I had seen this posted on a FB page and jotted down the ingredients on a scrap piece of paper. This just happens to be one of Mr. Awesome’s favorite dishes. I want to try it with some sliced smoked sausage as I think that will taste AMAZING! Continue reading “Crockpot Tortellini Soup” →
