Today is MEATLESS MONDAY! This dish is like a deconstructed eggplant lasagna or kind of like a layered Gâteau. Truly delicious and great for a Meatless Monday meal. Layered flavors make this not only pleasing to eat, but pleasing to the eye. My Hubby said it was the best eggplant he’s ever had. That always makes me smile! Continue reading
This is a meatloaf I used to make every week in college. I would slice it for sandwiches for lunch. Back then I was on a very tight budget so ketchup was the sauce… no three cheeses and fennel! I actually served it to Linda for lunch on our recent visit together. She said it was delicious! Continue reading
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
This Lasagna is out of this world as Linda and her boys can attest to. My hubby says it’s the best Lasagna he’s ever had and I for one love to eat it. It’s not the easiest lasagna to make but it is the best I’ve ever made. I always make it after I’ve made a traditional Bolognese. This is the perfect dish for a cold Sunday afternoon when you just feel like cooking… Continue reading
Some days it’s good to eat no carbs. I do love my carbs, but today is a carb-less day for me. Here is a pizza you can make and not even miss the crust. Both my hubby and I really enjoyed this one. It’s also good without the bacon and with mushrooms instead… but who doesn’t love bacon!!! Continue reading
It’s MEATLESS MONDAY! Eggs are a great source of protein for Meatless Mondays. I was in the mood for Italian today, but didn’t want any pasta, so I decided to make eggs with an Italian theme. I served these eggs with broiled Asiago & garlic bread. The yoke mixed with the pesto really added something special to this dish. It was both filling and delicious… Continue reading
The very best part of having a garden is when you start to have an abundance of vegetables. This morning my husband picked 6 beautiful green papers from our many pepper plants. I was so excited. The very first thing I make with our peppers every year is stuffed peppers. I love them! Like with my lasagna, I like to have a Bechamel sauce as the base. I have found this adds considerably in countering the sometimes bitterness of green peppers while enhancing the richness of the tomato sauce on the pallet. I always make extra for leftovers. Also in abundance right now are our several squash plants. So you will see I stabilized the stuffed peppers with zucchini spears. I hope you get the chance to make this delicious and unforgettable dish… Continue reading
I know this is going to sound crazy, but when I made the popcorn cauliflower for my son the other day, I was reminded of this awesome snack I get sometimes at The Brickyard Restaurant in The Little League Capitol of the World… Williamsport, Pa. I love this snack because it takes me back to my childhood and the popcorn my mum-mum used to make. She would pop our popcorn in … bacon fat! Not the kind of thing you should eat every day, but oh so good. I’m not quite sure how they make theirs, so here is how I make mine. Continue reading
Meatloaf is one of those ‘take me back to mamma‘ comfort foods. Tonight I added a little Italian to it for pizzaz and zest. I used a mild Italian salami, but a spicy salami would be good too. Continue reading
