Tortellini Soup with Spinach and Tomatoes

This easy pot of Tortellini Soup with Spinach and Tomatoes has very few ingredients, but it is packed with flavor. You can easily double the recipe for a bigger crowd. I used chicken broth and bouillon because that’s all I had, but you can totally make this all vegetarian. If I had veggie stock and bouillon on hand, I totally would have gone that route.

Ravioli in Vodka Sauce

When The Husband and Son go out on the town for their sports and whatnot, the Jersey Girl still throws it down in the kitchen for Me, Myself and I. These are the moments I cook something a little special but doesn’t require too much cleanup. Because homegirl needs to enjoy her food while watching a trashy show or a chick flick or reading a good book. AmIright, Darling? Of […]
