Super Simple Sunday: Pasta with Olives and Feta

By on January 23, 2011 in Vegetarian, Winter

I am two weeks in to being back at work full time, and so the cooking routine is definitely shifting.  My leisurely time of spending all day on a dish is gone for the moment, and I am back to some of my trusty “fast food” dishes.  One of our favorite fast dishes is this […]
