Smoked Turkey & Broccoli Pasta, Patti is the queen of casseroles. Ken made an extra smoked turkey just so she could work her magic on leftovers.

Patti and I have set one night a week just for…
St. Paddy’s Irish Nachos, we love nachos for appetizers, snacks and sometimes for dinner. Our friend Peggy Fairweather came up with the idea of combining nacho toppings over potatoes.

Instead…

Just Peachy Poppers came about because Patti’s pal Harriett brought over some smoky spicy peach salsa on the same day we were talking about a new and different popper.

And, of course, wrapping them with bacon makes them just peachy! Patti…
