Mac & Cheese is a real treat and can be made so many different ways. It’s also a great way to use up leftovers. When I made the wonton ravioli I was left with too much ricotta cheese so I decided to turn it into mac & cheese. Placing them in individual sized dishes is a great way to portion control. I added a little love for my honey with a Parmesan cracker heart. Easy and quick to make. Continue reading

Tomato Jam
My sister in law Soraya once gave me a jar of homemade Tomato Marmalade – it was so very good! We used it as an appetizer with crackers and cream cheese…yummy! So I recently decided to try my hand at making it…but as I like things simple and quick, and I did not want to make a lot, I started with a can of Fire Roasted Tomatoes. The results were divine! We used half of this delicious jam with crackers and cream cheese and the other half I used for a recipe I’ll be sharing on Wednesday! Continue reading

Roasted Meatballs and Marinara Sauce
Who doesn’t love spaghetti and meatballs! When making it for guests I always had this giant doubt about it. Growing up, it was the one night you never wanted dish duty! Especially when your parents paired you, (me the youngest) with the only boy. My brother had a very good system for looking very busy without doing anything… Seriously, just ask Linda. Anyway, I decided once to just roast the whole thing so I could enjoy my guests and not look at my kitchen with embarrassment as if a peck of tomatoes had just exploded. I was not sure how it would go over with some of the Italian family members who call the sauce gravy, but like I always say, nothing ventured, nothing gained… Continue reading

Parmesan Chicken Cutlet With A White Wine & Mushrooms Sauce
I think I’m kind of into chicken cutlets right now. There are times in the year when my hubby has to work really late and I always wait to eat with him. I’ve found I can prepare the cutlets in advance. They cook up super fast and are light for late evening dining. It’s so important to me that he has a home cooked meal made with love when he comes home. I serve it with a simple salad and that’s all we need. Thank you Baby for all you do. I love you!

Honey, Lemon, Feta & Walnut Pasta
Today is Ash Wednesday – the beginning of the 40 days of Lent for all Christians (not counting Sundays). During these 40 days of repentance we reflect on our lives, the things we have done and our transgressions; praying for forgiveness and observing specific days of fasting and abstinence from meat. Traditionally during Ash Wednesday we fast and abstain from meat, eating just one full meal. We observe Lent to mirror Christ’s 40 days in the desert where He endured temptation.
In light of today’s abstinence and fasting I have prepared a meat-free dish that is healthy, tasty and very filling. Continue reading
