Short Rib French Onion Sandwich with Au Jus
I was at the butcher getting my hubby and I some Filet when I noticed these beautiful short ribs and remembered a short rib sandwich I had last summer at the Finger Lakes. It’s amazing how food connects to memory, don’t you think? So I couldn’t resist and two days later we were eating short rib sandwiches in the most delicious Au Jus! Continue reading

I love lamb, my hubby doesn’t. I do however sneak it in sometimes. Although, he has become fond of a good braised lamb shank. This dish is full of flavor and makes the house smell amazing! Serve with some Tzatziki sauce on the side and you have a real flavor punch! Continue reading

Turkey Mushroom Stew
This dish was born out of the leftover turkey breast I made for Christmas. With the leftovers I decided to make a stew. My butcher had taken the bone out of the breast for me, so I made a stock. I have to admit it was better than on Christmas day. Simple but delicious! Continue reading

Ricotta Gnocchi in a Three Cheese Sauce
I love Gnocchi! I order it when we are out and I make it when we are home. Now that I am making my own ricotta, it was time to tackle Ricotta Gnocchi. My first attempt, I have to admit, was more like ricotta soup… but I did not quit and finally found the correct formula! If you decide to make it with store bought ricotta I suggest you strain it overnight in a fine mesh sieve or you will need more flour. It made enough for two batches, but holds well in the refrigerator. I served it in a cheese sauce with poached garlic on the side to take it over the top. Really delicious! Continue reading

Spinach, Burrata & Crispy Prosciutto Salad
I assemble this quick salad when I need to serve a tasty & effortless lunch. The crispy prosciutto adds just the right amount of salty flavor that compliments the creamy burrata. I use Roma tomatoes in the winter when fresh Jersey tomatoes are not in season. Ciabatta or Italian bread cubes toast quickly in the oven and the dressing is a breeze to make. All in all a healthy addition to the salad rotation! Continue reading
