valentine’s day becomes spring at 1707
Spring has been a long time coming in the Chicago area – but today was sunny and 58!
We felt inspired to change out our long-tired Valentine’s Day wreath…

These colors just brighten my spirits!
at long last: chicken fajitas how-to
Several dishes have become favorites of the 1707 clan – Chicken Parmigiane, homemade pizza, Chopped Salad, Noodles & Company Knock-off, to name a few. But, all in all, the favorite of the favorites is T’s Chicken Fajitas. Truly superb.

15 days of love
Starting today, we’ll post thoughts, ideas and inspiration in this month of love. We have been so blessed with love in our lives — from our Heavenly Father, from each other, our children, our extended family, and our friends – we are practically bursting with LOVE!
So, stay tuned as we take the next 15 days to celebrate all that God has given us.
Karin and Tom

God Jul to one and all!

1707’s noodles & co knock-off
The finished bowl of Turkey Penne Pasta – absolutely delicious!
It didn’t take long for T to realize that we could duplicate Noodles & Co‘s Penne Pasta with Chicken recipe for a lot (a LOT) less than indulging at Noodles. Feeding a family of 6 meant that duplicating this recipe was important to staying within our food budget.
