Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Throw everything into a pan and you’re good to go! Well...you’ll need to cook the pasta first so technically it’s two pans, but still. This is WAY good and WAY easy! Double it to feed lots of hungry people or if you like lots of leftovers!!!
