Day Twenty Five: A Recipe

There is a fabulous show on the BYU channel called The Food Nanny. It's about how she goes into various people's homes and helps them draw closer as a family by saving dinnertime.

She helps them to come up with a plan involving a 2 week menu and themed cuisines for each day of the week. She also has a fantastic cook book. I told my mom about this show and after she watched it a few times she bought her cookbook. All the recipes are delicious. Here is one of them.

The Food Nanny's Red and White Mostaccioli
