Hello! In the kitchen with Sharon this week is our newest member of The Times-Gazette, John Hackley. He is a news reporter, plus he can cook and that is a plus for all of us at the paper because we love new recipes, and we love to eat.
We welcome John to our newspaper family. I can’t wait to try this spaghetti bake. Thank you so much John for sharing it with us.
Have a great week. Please send me your favorite recipes and I will put you in the kitchen with Sharon. Send them to [email protected] or call 937-393-3456.
