I love this time of year! The days are warm with a beautiful breeze and the evenings are just a little cool. Fall is approaching, the garden is slowing down and the Brussels sprouts will be here soon. This is the time of year when I like to make my own tomato sauce. Although we […]
I recently had an Oven-Dried Tomato & Jersey Corn Risotto at a local restaurant…it was super yummy! None of the ingredients were listed, so when I got home I made some notes about the flavors that I remembered tasting…for today’s post I recreated that lovely risotto at home…is it too vain of me to say […]

The other day I bought a big package of grape tomatoes for a salad I was making for a picnic, the only problem was when I left the house I left the tomatoes too! Ugh… alas, I decided to make a sautéed tomato and pasta dinner the next night. It was very good – so […]
Sometimes you want a pasta but not the old standby spaghetti & meatball kind… I love to experiment with all those different types of pasta found in the pasta aisle – combining sauces that will fit each little noodle to a Tee! This pasta is a wonderful sauce of bacon & pancetta with diced tomatoes […]
I love to make homemade pasta on cold windy days when you just want to stay indoors and hibernate. So when I get that inclination, I go to town creating the food I desire. If you want to make your own fresh pasta, use my earlier post Pasta Made With Love, I don’t usually buy tomatoes this […]
