Are you a fan of fajitas? Me too. Interested in how to make fajitas at home?

Did you know that this Tex-Mex specialty that means “little belts” in Spanish, is named for the cut of steak originally used to make them, skirt steak?

Do you enjoy preparing tasty italian sausage & pasta recipes? I hope you try this one. It’s one of my favorite Italian sausage and pasta recipes for ziti with sausage and vegetables, adapted from the cookbook, Jacques Pepin’s Kitchen: Cooking With Claudine
, that was also a fun television show on PBS years ago, back in the pre-food network days.
This italian sausage and pasta recipe is one of those quick easy pasta recipes you can turn to again and again. I first made this easy pasta dish for my brother back in the late 1990s. He gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up and its been in my files ever since.
