I am totally over this day light savings BS – It is no longer needed in the world today. Sorry that is a little insensitive for what the world is going through today and I am fairly certain that daylight savings is probably not on anyone’s agenda at the moment and I get it. I am very grateful that I am able to sit at … Continue reading Corned Beef and Cabbage
Today is Super Bowl Sunday and I have chicken wings two ways, Buffalo and some seasoned wings with salt, pepper and onion powder. I will be baking them only. I also have ingredients to make Italian grinders along with the all non-traditional veggies and dip just to offer something a little lighter. But since I am sure you already have a plan for your game … Continue reading Pan Seared Scallops and Risotto
This coming week is going to be a crazy cold one around here. They are saying that Tuesday will be a high of 11 degrees F. and of course I have a dentist appointment first thing in the morning; yeah me. Sounds like a hot soup kind of day/week. Here is one warms the belly and I love but don’t make it very often because … Continue reading Broccoli Cheddar Soup
I haven’t made this recipe in quite a while but I think about it often. I think it will be on the menu sometime over the long Holiday weekend. I have been craving it and now even more so that I am writing about it. I am not sure if I will be making my own pasta or I may cheat and buy fresh pasta … Continue reading raviolo al’ uovo – runny egg yolk ravioli
I just finished putting Christmas away, which for me is about 2 weeks later than I normally put things away! This years tree lasted the longest in the house. It is usually down the day after and I will confess we have tossed it outside Christmas day eve a few times over the years just because the needles were driving me nuts. My husband was … Continue reading deconstructed BLT
It has been a crazy week and I haven’t made anything new to share so I thought I would bring back an oldie but a goody. I have made this several times and it is always a crowd pleaser. I hope if you haven’t made this recipe yet, it’s time – maybe for the fourth of July bbq? If you haven’t ever purchase or tried … Continue reading Grilled Skirt or Flank Steak
Holding cooking classes has shown me a few ways that some people perceive what goes on in the kitchen and also how some interpret recipes. Some of the people I have had in my kitchen are very literal, if they don’t have say the bone in pork chop they only have boneless on hand; they just move on to another recipe. It asks for chicken … Continue reading Balsamic-Braised Chicken with Swiss Chard
Let me start off with Italy was awesome and everything I thought it was going to be! Let me next apologize for the delay in sending out my weekly blog. Last week I mentioned I wanted to travel light so I left my laptop at home. Well that would have all worked out fine and dandy had the airline Alitalia not understood the concept of … Continue reading Italian Bruschetta – Florence Cooking Class
I was at my local grocery store the other day and was looking for some Mahi Mahi they didn’t have fresh and I usually find it in the vacuum sealed frozen section. Unfortunately they did not have any but I did run across a name I have heard a couple of times on TV but have never tried; Barramundi; I was intrigued enough to pick … Continue reading Barramundi with a Butter Garlic Lemon sauce
Valentine’s Day date night was more of a weekend thing this year; due to yet another snow storm for the North East. I swear it feels like we are in a snow globe and a 5 year is having a blast shaking it and we can’t get it away from him. My husband has a plow route so making dinner plans was definitely out of … Continue reading Individual Chocolate Lava Cake
