Yummo! I wish I had this to eat right now. :) Blessings, Tammy
Mimi, this looks so delicious, so festive, so perfect for Christmas! I am definitely going to serve this one night in the next week or so.
How has the weather been your way?I heard it was pretty bad? I hope you are keeping warm and toasty!
Best wishes, Natasha.
Yummmm! I looove tortellini! I think this may have to go on the list of favorite december comfort meals! Thank you my friend! xoxo
Nice easy dish for a busy night.
The Night Before Christmas or Christmas Eve is what is really celebrated here in Guatemala. On that night, we have "tamales and ponche" (come by the blog, as I will talk about that next week), a traditional meal for that night. Nevertheless, this pasta looks amazing! and not too complicated for my inexperienced cooking skills :-) Thanks for sharing! and Happy Holidays!
Hi Mimi!
Just wanted to pop over while I can and let you know I'm thinking of you!
Lots of Christmas and Holiday cheer going on here and I'm enjoying it all!
The tortellini dish looks and sounds so festive and delishious--going to try it soon!
Keep warm--I know it must be snowing in your part of the North Country!
With love from the Cabin!
