DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

I would love to make the recipe again with the spicy italian sausage added. Need to wait until hubby decides to take off for the weekend on a camping trip. He does not like the smell of garlic and he says he can smell it on me for days. Well, I may have to leave the garlic out but that's part of what makes it taste so good.

Told you I would find that recipe!
Louise, I will post the recipe up above under Main Course.

Sorry, I haven't found that recipe yet but I'll find it.

I have to chuckle - your RI Doughboy reciepe is what we call Fry Bread out here in Montana!!

I haven't made it in so many years since hubby hates the smell of garlic. But I love it!

Well, I can't seem to find my favorite pasta recipe. It's not where it should be but I promise to post as soon as I do find it.
It's called Baked Tomato Spaghetti with italian herbs, garlic and olive oil. It's pretty simple but the roma tomatoe halves bakes for about an hour. And I add ground turkey not italian sausage for meat. Although I do prefer the spicy italian flavored sausages.

Colorado, maybe you can add discussions for various areas of food for people to add their recipes.... Main dishes...Appetizers...Desserts. What do you think? I agree, it's hard to find the recipes with so many pages to go through.
