My Grandmothers Tettrazinni

This is my grandmother's recipe for tettrazinni.  The best dish in the world!  Ive been crazy about this since I was little.  Time to share it with the world.   I also shared this on Allrecipes.com too



Chicken (or Turkey) Tettrazinni   (for 9x13 pan)


Olive Garden Shrimp Caprese


This dish had to be my number one favorite at Olive Garden.  
But unfortunately, most restaurants eventually stop serving my fav dishes.
And another unfortunately, Im very very picky and I only stick with foods I know I like.
So eventually I probably will no longer go to restaurants unless im feeling experimental with trying new foods.  We'll see...

Texas Potatoes Deluxe

This is my mothers recipe.  We had this almost every Christmas dinner.
I can eat this everyday!
