What’s for Dinner? Sunday Link up #456

I love snow; I love winter; I do not love ice! We’ve had inches of ice for days and now we have, quite literally, inches of rain in our backyard. Ready for a swim?

And all this is making me excited that Spring is just 52 days away!! It’s time to start planning those seed starts for my veggie garden. And I’m so ready to get outdoors to work in the dirt!

And in the meantime, I’m planning dinner for these cold and rainy nights. What are you making?

An idea struck!!

I’m going to make these and share them with you!! Cacio e Pepe is the foundation of the four.
