    I have a very special treat for you today. The lovely and talented Sandra from Sandra's Easy Cooking is guest posting today. If you have not read her blog I highly recommend you head over and do so.

    She is an amazing cook, recently she has taken on a more healthful approach to cooking. Sandra takes the most phenomenal photos, they are always so bright and gorgeous. Every single recipe makes me drool.

    Even the seafood recipes make me hungry, and I can't even eat seafood. You know she's doing something right when she can get this gal craving some shellfish. I wish I could sample every single recipe.

    She has made a lovely recipe to share with us today and I am ever grateful to her for agreeing to guest today. Without further ado, here is Sandra. Please make her feel welcome.

    Hello Everybody,
     
    I am Sandra, author of Sandra's Easy Cooking food blog where you can find pretty easy and simple recipes. I started this blogging adventure in middle of 2010 and just fell in love not only with blogging itself but with kindness of people that are very supportive around our food web.
     
    I see Kim as a kind, supportive, and funny person. Power of her posts would lift anybodies spirit and you leave her blog with huge smile on your face..am I right or what???
     
    I really adore and respect her as a blogger and a friend! As soon as I see that cannoli in a foodbuzz inbox I have to check it out!:)) Now let me share a recipe with mushrooms..yes, Kim don't like Mushrooms so here is one recipe that contain that exact ingredient..

    Okay so maybe I need to rethink my stance on mushrooms! This looks so good. I love how colorful and inviting Sandra's food is. She nails it every single time. I am so lucky to have met this beautiful soul through Foodbuzz. She is always kind and warm, always a cheerful word for you. I consider her a friend and know one day we will meet in person and never stop gabbing. She is just the kind of gal you feel you've known forever. A true friend and an amazing cook.

    While you are stopping by her blog, Sandra's Easy Cooking make sure you check out her right sidebar. Sandra has her own cookbook for sale. Also make sure you follow her on Pinterest, Twitter, and Facebook. You will want to hug me for introducing you to her. Just remember, Lunie doesn't do hugs. Germs remember. Ick! Thank me from a safe distance.

    Toodles and smoochies! xx

      Sandra, such a beautiful dish! I am a humungous mushroom fan (sorry, Kim) so I could just eat the tomato/ mushroom mixture by itself!

      Nice to find two amazing bloggers in one place!
      This recipe makes me think of my frugal husband. When it comes to food, I do not price shop like he does. He loves cherry tomatoes but says they are too expensive. The fix for that is to buy them when he is not around! Your pasta dish does have some goodies in it-yum! Lightly seasoned is the only way to let the true freshness of those veggies take center stage. Great guest post!

      Germs? What germs, Kim? Aren't we sterilized already?! 🙂 This recipe (and post too) is great. I can see how I can mask more vegetables for my kids to eat in this dish. Thanks, Sandra. Heading over to your blog...

      No hugs, Kim? Not even from hubs? 🙂 I'm with you on the shrooms...yuck. Fortunately Brian loves them so he just eats any that accidentally got on my plate.

      I swear I am like a 5 year old with food. So many things I do not like. I am getting better. *stifles a laugh* I love the look of mushrooms. So that's a start.

      Lol it's okay. My dad was a huge mushrooms fan. He used to chop them up really fine and I'd sit for hours picking them out of my lasagna just to spite him. Lol!

      Thanks Tina. I hate shopping with hubs. I took him to Walmart once and he went ballistic cuz I wanted to buy everyone those battery toothbrushes. They were on sale for $7 a piece. He was so floored I wanted to drop that on toothbrushes. I was like "but they're half price so it's a bargain". I got creative and picked them up for stocking stuffers. Lol!
