This is both … Continue reading Crispy Risotto Cakes
A few weeks ago I ripped out a page from a cooking magazine that looked like something we would eat. I do this ALL the time and have SO many pages that I don’t really know how to deal with them.

The 7 layer dip is prepped, the buffalo wings are pre-cooked, guacamole will most definitely be on the table for halftime and in honor of my New England Patriots I also made New England Clam Chowder! The funny thing is, we are not … Continue reading New England Clam Chowder – Go Pats!

I don’t know about you and your friends but my peeps seem to have a love it or hate it response when I bring it up. I will especially be waiting for a comment from SF if he actually reads this one. I will confess that up until a … Continue reading Sauerkraut dish I didn’t know about
If life gives you lemons you are supposed to make lemonade right? What do you do when someone hands you 3 enormous blocks of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese? Well I make Alfredo, Parmesan Crisps, Risotto, and Parmesan rind broth and basically grate it on anything and everything I want.

I have NO idea why it has taken me SOOOOOO long to make a batch of granola. Seriously; we all love it; we or more like; I buy it; Over the years I’ve bought all different kinds/brands.
