Peeps Sugar Cookie Sheet
Hello everyone! I have missed you guys and I hope you have missed me too. It has been a rather wild 8 days and the wildness does not look like it is going to let up anytime soon. First, the neighborhood Internet has been down more than up (and up only when I am not…

Bacon & Beer Alfredo Sauce
I love this sauce. It tastes wonderfully rich and complex when lightly covering ravioli. It even tastes good with a spoon! Bacon and Beer are not generally associated with alfredo but once you try it, you will not want any other kind. I cannot remember where I got the recipe but it was so long…
