Growing up, my grandma and grandpa lived on a small lake in Wisconsin. Whenever my family made the trip up there in the summer, it was always so much fun. We usually met up with my cousins, aunts, and uncles, and we all had a blast boating, tubing, skiing, and swimming. We would end most …

Garlic. Shrimp. Alfredo. Three of my favorite things! Sometimes I have to cave into my cravings and eat all the pasta my heart (and stomach) desires.
