An Italian Feast – Part One (Meatzza)

An Italian Feast – Part One (Meatzza)

Tuna’s New Story…or The Casserole Reinvented

I am a fan of the “meal in one pot” brigade for busy weeknights, and judging by the number of cookbooks dedicated to casserole cooking, I’m in good company.  In a recent call out to friends asking them what they’d like to see on my blog, I got a few requests for “one dish meals” […]
