Another fantastic dish and easy to make if you cook the bacon ahead of time.  This was so scrumptious that we all have seconds. Ingredients: 19oz filled tortellini (I used spinach & cheese filled but you can pick any) 10 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled 2 cloves garlic, minced 2/3 c parmesan cheese 1/2 […]

This turned out so well, even Iain and Claire ate it!  Very easy and we used the extra cream to make homemade ice cream.

These were absolutely delicious! We actually ate them all so we had no leftovers, and I would have this every week if we wanted. Probably one of the best new meals I’ve had in a long time! Ingredients: 1.5 lbs pork loin cut into chops (or you can get 4-6 boneless chops) 3 t. butter, […]
