I can tell you right now that one of the very first sections to fill completely up with all 7 recipes will be the pasta section. I adore pasta, creamy pasta, red sauce pasta, pasta with veggies, etc. It's comforting, tasty and filling. A funny little story. . . I shop mostly at Walmart because I live in a tiny town and don't have many options, plus, its cheaper! I was making one of my weekly visits to Walmart to get groceries. I was standing in the pasta isle, I was kind of spaced out. My 9 month old was getting cranky and I couldn't quite concentrate on what I needed to purchase as far as pastas went. As I stood there I watched about 4 or 5 other shoppers pass by, they quickly grabbed the Walmart brand of pasta and then rushed off again. Now to the funny part of the story, as I stood there wondering what I needed to buy I kept going over the prices of the pastas. . . did you know that Barilla pasta is cheaper than the Walmart brand? At least it was at my Walmart (in Cedar City, UT) on the day I was there. So I bought several different kinds of pasta, all Barilla brand. Next time you are shopping check to see if your store brand is more expensive. I think we are just trained to think that because it's a store brand it's cheaper. . . crazy isn't it?
This blog is a work in progress. You'll notice that I don't have 7 different recipes of everything yet, but keep checking back. My goal is to get 7 of everything listed by the end of 2014! By the time I'm done it will be over 365 recipes. If you have suggestions for a recipe please feel free to leave a comment or send me a message.

Orzo Parmesan Melody
My hubby has a great time joking around every time I make orzo. He picks on me by saying, "oh this RICE you made tonight is wonderful." "I've never had RICE that has so much flavor," etc, etc. Yes, he is a comedian!
I love orzo. To me it has this buttery quality to it, even when you don't add anything to it. Usually I make it as a side dish to a protein that we are having, but this time I made it as the main course. Orzo is great because you can add almost anything to it and have a tasty, satisfying meal.
