My favorite Italian restaurant I love dining at serves a Meatball Insalata that Mr. Mother Thyme loves to order. It is a romaine salad with red wine vinegar, shaved parmigiano, tomatoes and a huge meatball tossed in a red sauce. A meatball in a salad totally works. When I was last there over the holidays…
You may want to change your dinner plans tonight and add this to the menu instead. If you consider yourself a chili connoisseur or just love a big bowl of chili, this Tuscan Chili may quickly become a favorite. It is the perfect fusion of Italian meets chili in a bowl. This flavorful chili is…
