i love the dollar tree! you can find so many goodies there : )
ReplyDeleteI loved the plates! they reminded me of something from the Pottery Barn with the ribbed edge... I was so excited about them
Deletei love ravioli it is one of my absolute favorite dishes. this recipe looks great and i agree with pairing it with a nice moscato! do you have any recommendations?
ReplyDeleteOlive garden has this amazing moscato that I actually found in the wine isle a while back at my local Kroger. Its called "Castello Del Poggio" and it only sets you back around $13!
DeleteRavioli is one of my favorites as well...if you like seafood, I make Lobster Ravioli alot...Buitoni has lobster ravioli in the frezer section of most grocery stores and I make my own white wine sauce with fresh tomatoes to pair with it...amazing...
