Some things are always in style and always romantic. LOVE. HEARTS. CHOCOLATE. PASTA. PASTA?! ALL classics in my opinion. And I know some of my fellow Italians would agree. Granted, only a pasta lover like me would appreciate a box of specialty pasta ...
Linguine with Mussels and Chorizo
I love muscles mussels! And I do mean all types. But this has nothing to do with my New Year’s resolution to personally uncover or build more of them. This has to do with one of the best and affordable shellfish out there. Beautiful ...
Shrimp, Avocado, & Spinach Pasta with Mango Vinaigrette
MANGO-LEESSSHHH-CIOUS! Now this is the way to kick off a New Year! John, the boys, and I typically travel south the week after Christmas and spend some time in Naples, FL with my parents. It’s a glorious week when the office is ...
Pasta Toss with Chicken Sausage, Broccoli, and Tomatoes
It’s less than 10 days away. Can that be? Am I ready? No. Believe me, I’m doing lots of celebrating and having a fabulous time doing so…but not exactly making progress on the big day. I still have shopping to do, plenty of gifts to wrap, and ...
Cheesy Beef & Noodle Casserole (Lightened Up!)
Another week of gray skies and cold weather…burrrr! We just want to see a little sunshine please – Santa! Might be an unusual request, but worth asking. These shorter days of daylight also seem to throwing off my eating and sleeping ...

Turkey Tetrazzini (for turkey leftovers!)
It’s getting close…but it’s not too late! The thought of Thanksgiving leftovers is still out there and in fact, your turkey for the “big day” is probably still in the freezer. If you are hosting company over the holiday, which we do ...
Kale and Walnut Pesto
Kale, our favorite “headless” wild cabbage, has been hot for a few years now. Everywhere you look there is kale on a menu or some recipe substituting and selling kale as the “it girl” new leafy green. The beautiful ruffled dark green ...
Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce over Gluten Free Tagliolini
It’s hard not to overdue using this sweet succulent fall vegetable. Don’t let its tough exterior fool you! (PS: I buy it already peeled and diced!) We are still at the relative beginning of the cold season, so I am not ashamed to say that I can’t ...
Thanksgiving Turkey Leftover Soup
November. It’s the time of year when food starts to enter into every conversation. We plan to serve the annual traditional dishes, no matter how much everyone likes them :), and we talk about “changing things up” this year with our ...
