Garden Fresh Spaghetti
"Pick the ingredients for this dish straight from your garden if you can. When that's impossible, premium produce from the store tastes great too. The spaghetti sauce seasons the dish, but oregano, basil, parsley, or red pepper, especially if they're fresh, can be added for more flavor."

I've loved cooking all my life and had at least a bit of talent for it. As a child, the family diet consisted of items that came out of boxes and cans. Within that context, I excelled as far as I could. Later I moved to Korea and, separated from boxed mac and cheese and canned soup, I had to really learn. The experience delighted me. Who knew food could taste so good?
Back within the borders of the U.S., I tend to create dishes that use time-saving packaged foods while adding fresh ingredients to capture the best of both worlds. My kids are my critics and I rely on them to provide feedback on the quality of my food. My favorite feedback is when they say nothing at all except, mmmmmm as they consume their meal.
I first joined this site years ago when it was Recipezaar. Honestly, I still love that name, But regardless of what it's called, I love the site and love the cooking community it provides.
