Springtime Lasagna Rollups
Spring is here! This is one of my favorite times of year as the air finds a gentle and refreshing warmth, the rivers and streams are raging, the ground has that sweet smell as it comes back to life and…….ASPARAGUS! As a child I never liked asparagus. Now that I’ve aged, ever so delicately, I […]
Italian ‘Peas and Hats’ Wonderpot
When I was growing up, my Italian grandmother (mom’s mom) was always making some type of pasta dish (or as she called it, macaroni): macaroni with meat sauce, macaroni with clam sauce, macaroni with broccoli, macaroni with chick peas….I could go on and on. One of my personal favorites from this seemingly endless arsenal of […]

Homemade Italian Sausage Sliders
If there is one thing that I like to make from scratch, it’s sausage, hands down. Not only do I enjoy the whole process of trimming, cutting and grinding the meat, but I love the fresh taste that only comes from doing it at home. Another great aspect is I can choose how […]
Brisket Vegetable Barley Soup
I love making one meal and then having enough leftover ingredients to create one or two more meals out of it….I like to think of it as my holiday spirit that stays with me throughout the entire year. When I get in the kitchen to cook for family and friends, I tend to go overboard […]
Easy Oven Roasted Mexican Salsa
Salsa is the perfect complement for so many dishes, in my opinion. I like to put it on eggs, chicken, beef, salads or just eat it plain with a chip or two. Jenn likes to make messy salsa tacos using flour or corn tortillas. While living in Texas many years ago, I was taught […]
