I made this sandwich originally with leftovers and my Hubby just loved it, so now I make it on purpose for him sometimes at our daily lunch date. The pork loin is tender and lean and the roasted red peppers give a sweetness while the dijon and arugula give it a nice bite. I just love happy accidents… Continue reading →

Rigatoni with Four Meat Ragù

| Linda

My husband’s favorite pasta dish is this one…half of what he loves about it is that every time we make it, we make it together. We open a bottle of wine, put on some music and start cooking! The four different meats; sausage, pancetta, ground beef and ground pork are cooked until very tender in a delicious tomato sauce. We have served this yummy pasta dish for many family and friend get-togethers…it’s always a huge hit. Continue reading →

Pepperoni & Cheese Soft Pretzels: Revisited

| Heidi


Linda’s post put me in mind of a previous blog I did in January of 2017. And… Since it is tax season again, I am back to catering to all the employees at my Hubby’s firm on Fridays. They work so hard and I love to spoil them, so this Friday I will make a new version along with a hearty soup and share next week… but here is the previous blog post from 2017…

“When I lived in Philadelphia I would go almost every day to a corner vendor for a Philly soft pretzel for lunch. I’m sure it wasn’t the best thing to do, but it certainly fit my college budget! I sometimes get the hankering for a good homemade soft pretzel. Today I made them a little different. I added pepperoni and cheese!!! Serve with some cheese dip and a little marinara and you have pizza in a pretzel. You can also make little bite size pieces which would be great for your upcoming Super Bowl Party!!”  Continue reading →

My hubby said this is his favorite and I have to agree. He wants me to make it again tonight! The flavors of the creamy pasta with the freshness of the wilted arugula are a perfect compliment to the lightly seasoned and floured shrimp. Tip this baby off with a little crunchy garlic and POW!

Farro Salad with Roasted Veggies, Peas & Fresh Parmesan

| Linda

I’m trying to start the year with a healthy bang! I saw a Farro Salad similar to this on the menu at Davios NYC and made a note to try something like it at home…I roasted the veggies to bring out their flavor and dressed the salad with a Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette that’s super yummy. A delicious addition to our Meatless Meal Menu…Here’s to a healthy and happy New Year! Continue reading →
