I have heard the name of this dish a few times. I have never had nor tried to make it. Honestly I don’t believe I ever gave it a second thought; that is until I watched someone make it on Guys Grocery Games last week. Then I go to the thought of; I can make that no problem. And if you haven’t you can too … Continue reading Cacio e Pepe with Shrimp
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
This morning is vastly different from last Sunday around here. Last weekend we hosted my son and daughter-n-laws wedding reception that we had to postponed from last year. The weather was excellent for the majority of the party, the rain came later which we were all grateful for. There were twelve of us staying over and fourteen plus two dogs for breakfast. At the moment … Continue reading Pasta Sausage and Cherry Tomatoes
Pickles are done – sort of! I emptied the fridge and made 19 jars of pickles. I went out to the garage and there was a basket full of them that hadn’t made their way into the house yet UGH! Not entirely sure we need more pickles but looks like I might have some Christmas gifts started wink wink! My daughter is a cookbook collector … Continue reading Pasta Swiss Chard & Burrata
I wasn’t sure what to call this dish so I figured I would get more attention if it started with bacon. Because everyone knows everything tastes better with some bacon on or in it. This dinner comes together pretty easy and quite quickly so it would be perfect for a weeknight meal. If you don’t want to start up the grill just to char the … Continue reading Bacon Garden Pasta
I need to start by saying I try to keep my online media presence pretty low key, well actually I do the same in my day to day “real” life as well. I think I share just enough information about me and also about my family. I try to not “offend” or “overshare” too much and I don’t normally talk about the 3 hot topics; … Continue reading Pesto Turkey Pasta
Perusing through one of my favorite magazines; Fine Cooking; which is also one of the only magazines I will not rip out any of the recipes, I keep the whole magazine. I do however use little post it tabs and mark out everything that looks and sounds like something we would enjoy. If I have a few of the ingredients on hand, I will add … Continue reading Pasta with Shrimp, Shallots, and Cherry Tomatoes in Madeira sauce
I had wanted to make a few Italian recipes that we had made in our Tuscan cooking class since coming back home a couple of weeks ago. Everything just came together this for past Friday night’s dinner. We were trying to get together with some of our local friends, our VT friends contacted me to come and stay the night and the final piece de … Continue reading Italian Night – Tagliatelle Pasta and Ragu Bolognese
A couple of weekends ago my husband and I met up with friends of ours in Montreal for a nice long weekend. It had been many years since we have been to Canada and now that we went; I’m not sure why it has been so long, what a great city. Always something going on; so I was told; they have the most festivals. Well … Continue reading Easy Pasta Salad – Montreal Farmers Market
All through high school I worked at a local Pizza place, there were a few items that I swore that I would never try; they looked and smelled WAY too funky for me. Here is yet another example of never say never. Feta cheese came in a metal vat filled with what I believe was oil or a vinegar maybe. We had to take a … Continue reading Eggplant Parmesan – that will convert you
