For me, one of the best parts of growing up in a family that’s 1/2 Italian is all of the simple and hearty “peasant dishes” (grandma’s term) that were commonplace at dinner time. A meal doesn’t have to be complicated to be good. Period. Greens and Beans are a primary example of that and […]
Easy Pistachio Pudding Cake
Hi Everyone. We’ve had a lot of traffic on our website because of our pistachio cookie recipe and we are really excited! I’ve always loved those cookies, but had no idea just how many people would be interested in them. So in thinking that maybe “more pistachio” is something that folks would like […]
Blue Cheese Fried Chicken
I do my best to eat healthy as much as I can, but you know, there are times when I just crave a good ol’ piece of fried chicken and I decide not to deny myself the sinful pleasure. Serve it up with mashed potatoes and green beans and you just can’t go wrong. In […]
Polish (Pierogi) Bowl
We all know how boring Thanksgiving leftovers can be: the cold turkey sandwich lathered with mayo, the ever so slightly gummy stuffing and the dry mashed potatoes microwaved with a helping of gravy. Sound familiar? As I mentioned in my Thanksgiving post, this year I was going to take three traditional leftovers and transform […]
Italian Stuffed Peppers with a Creamy Alfredo Sauce
Can I just say I am of the opinion that red peppers are one of the most photogenic vegetables ever? Not to mention one of our favorite tasting. Poor little green bell pepper….Bless your little heart, we’ve moved on from you…. Any time a recipe calls for a bell pepper, we go straight for the […]

I would always look forward to helping my father get the grill going, preparing the smoking wood and watching the bird cook to golden perfection. The tradition continues and we had […]
Happy Thanksgiving From The Spice Kit Recipes

It seems that every year Christmas creeps into our lives a little earlier and earlier. Decorations appear in stores before the leaves start […]
Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Custard Crown
So I got up the other day and came down to the kitchen for my morning coffee and there they were…..the bananas that never seem to get eaten; ripe beyond slicing and adding to my oatmeal. I always wonder why that happens? I love bananas, but yet somehow seem to always neglect three or […]

Easy Vinaigrette (Vinegarette) Salad Dressing
Sometimes as foodies, we get caught up in the idea that the more ingredients we add to something, the better is going to taste, the more complicated the process, the more it will entice the palate; the fancier the recipe, the more impressive it will be. Well sometimes, I just want to keep things simple […]
