Radiatore Casserole

Radiatore Casserole

Change is a good thing when it comes to recipes! I like to change up classic recipes in my repertoire. This radiatore casserole is an adaptation of penne casserole.

This past year there has been a year of a lot of change. I just finished my first year of law school! I never expected to attend law school and that was the initial big change in my life! Nevertheless, I still love music and still perform and record.

To celebrate change, take a listen to “There’ll Be Some Changes Made” sung by Dinah Washington. I love her clear diction and bright vocal tone!
