All Hail To The UK!
Last week my next-door neighbor and friend Jacque, who hails from the UK, sent my son home with one of her magazines for me to enjoy. It was Easy Living magazine, a publication from our friends across the pond, and boy did I enjoy it. It was full of awesome articles and recipes and it was so nice to get a slightly different and very British, perspective. I was so taken with the magazine, that I had to visit the site – there I found so much more to enjoy. Here’s the link to the Easy Living site so you can enjoy too. I especially loved the site’s Collection of 20-Minute Meals (you can view it here>). There, I found this awesome recipe for Speedy Cherry Tomato Pasta with Napolitana Sauce. I shared it below, but be sure to check out all 40 recipes – each looks delicious, easy to prepare, and is accompanied by a gorgeous photo of the finished product. Thanks Jacque!
