Citrus Smoked Ham
I know readers, I know. If I was a good food blogger I would have made this recipe and posted it for you weeks ago so you could have used it for your Easter lunch yesterday. But let’s be honest, that’s a whole lot of ham to inflict on my family in the span of

Penne in a Garlic Tomato Sauce
In my humble opinion, the average weeknight dinner shouldn’t be a production. It should be simple, healthy, and should leave your family feeling happy and full.
