I do not recall ever using rigatoni pasta shape before and it was absolutely lovely with this … Continue reading Pork Ragu over Rigatoni
I hope my USA friends all had a lovely but safe Fourth of July celebration. We spent it with good friends and family!

I made this ice cream last week and it was stupid good! So much so I am making it again and then I should lose the recipe because we do not need more ice cream in our lives. So why am I documenting it here, so I won’t lose it. I just can’t make this weekly, we would be in big trouble with trying to … Continue reading Mississippi Mud Pie Ice Cream
I tend to think I spend way too much time on my phone, either scrolling or playing my game that I KNOW I spend too much time on. BUT in scrolling a couple of months ago I saw that Scott Conant was going to be kind of close to us and it was a few days after my daughters b-day. I know she would LOVE … Continue reading Martone Street Spaghetti Pomodoro

Basically fresh lemon for the lemon juice, good quality … Continue reading butter garlic lemon sauce for fish

I didn’t … Continue reading Clam Chowder

I had a couple of sweet Italian sausage links in the fridge, I didn’t … Continue reading Sausage Parmesan Cannellini Soup
I used to have the best whoopie pie recipe over 30 years ago. I hunted for years trying to find it again. I got it from a co-worker in the mid 90’s and made them several times until I lost the recipe and never tried making them again, until last week. The only reason I even tried to make them again was for our WWW … Continue reading Whoopie Pie
What a busy weekend around here this weekend. Yesterday was spent in town with my family at the Children and the Arts day. It is kind of near and dear to my heart as this is its 31st year and my kids use to participate and I volunteered for years, most schools and day care centers in the area create something for the kids to … Continue reading Louisiana Crunch Cake
