Prosciutto and Peach Arugula Salad
Now that summer is upon us I have been on the hunt for some salad recipes to try out using delicious fruit that is plentiful this time of year. One of my favorite fruit are peaches.

Homemade Linguine and Clams Recipe
Last night my in-laws treated me to a favorite recipe that’s been in their family for almost 50 years and I was in heaven! Linguine and clams is one of my all-time favorites and when they heard that I love this meal they made a huge dish of it for all of us to enjoy. My father-in-law received a recipe gift box filled with recipes (remember when they use to give those out?) when he was working for a bank over 40 years ago as a giveaway for their employees. Though not all the recipes stuck around this one is in their top 5 and I can see why. If you like linguine…
