Fusilli with mushrooms, zucchini, and asparagus. 2/2/23

Posted on February 3, 2023 by Beebamom

Hamburger on ciabatta, tater tots. 1/27/23

Posted on January 28, 2023 by Beebamom

Medium-rare hamburger on a toasted ciabatta bun with lettuce, onion, mayo, and ketchup, yum! I misjudged how long it would take to cook the tater tots so mine had the texture of being microwaved. At least the underdone potatoes kept … Continue reading →
