Everyone in my family loves bacon & egg sandwiches for breakfast. We might not have them everyday but we certainly have them often. For today’s sandwich I made it just a wee bit different. Toasting up a hearty slice of Italian round loaf bread and slathering it with a little bit of creamy ricotta, drizzling on some fresh sweet honey and topping it all with crisp thick bacon and a fried egg. I loved it! I’ll be making these again and again… Continue reading
This Fall we will be visiting the Amalfi Coast in Italy. During my searches for lodging and restaurants I researched the flavors of Amalfi to see what is common along the coast. Lemons are the most popular food item found in this region of Italy. Other flavors of Amalfi are anchovies and various seafood. Also, the Monti Lattari mountain region has many dairy farms that produce fresh ricotta and provolone cheeses. I can’t wait to explore this wonderful part of Italy. In the meantime I brought the flavors of Amalfi into my humble kitchen using fresh ingredients from the local supermarket! Come join me in my kitchen for a delicious risotto… 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
