Once again it’s cooking class time for me. The month of January has been filled with one class after another. I do enjoy every minute of the classes. Sometimes the prep work of recipe research and shopping can be taxing but it’s all part of what I do. There are ways to make those parts … Continue reading »

Chicken Caesar Sandwiches with Pretzel Buns
This was such a great idea for dinner! I was inspired by a post on Pinterest using a slow cooker for this recipe. I made some adjustments to the original but in the end I’m pretty sure the results were the same-deliciousness! See below the recipe for information about the pretzel buns.

Braised Chicken with Fennel
This year for our Mother’s day celebration, the men of my house cooked the main meal of the day. I supplied the food, recipes and was available for consulting. They did the rest. One of the dishes they made was roasted carrots and fennel but we had way too much fennel for our needs that … Continue reading »
Thanksgiving Day Menu
This year we are going to eat a mostly traditional Thanksgiving day meal. I usually rebel and make something Italian but for some reason I am not giving in to my rebelliousness this time around. But I have to tell you I have warned the family that Christmas will be Italian! Of course we’ll have … Continue reading »
If the truth be told…

Around my house we like different combinations of flavors and textures … Continue reading »

She told me she prepared the bacon wrapped chicken and used roasted red pepper and provolone cheese which were different from the original recipe’s ingredient list. According to her and her … Continue reading »
Pasta with Roasted Cauliflower, Chick Peas and Ricotta
I just started getting subscriptions to magazines again after a long break. Seeing that many were just ad after ad left me with not much content to read. But then I found a few that aren’t too full of ads so I subscribed. Then a deal came my way last year in November for Martha Stewart’s Living, … Continue reading »
Mock Gyros with Chicken and Homemade Pitas
I decided to go with these Mock gyros instead of quesadillas tonight, mostly because I wanted to make Tzatziki sauce for the first time. I took off all the good meat left on the chicken and mixed it with some olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. I made homemade pita bread and Tzatziki sauce, … Continue reading »
Classic Italian Roasted Chicken
I think all cooks should know how to roast a whole chicken. It’s so incredibly easy and much tastier than those little rotisserie chickens you can pick up at the local big box grocery store. Whole roasting chickens usually go on sale for a price that is comparable to the pre-made version but you get … Continue reading »
