Its' all the food you want to make, eat and enjoy! A bunch of recipes that I felt like cooking and my boyfriend felt like eating.
Light and airy Dutch Baby Pancakes, with three ways. Ham, Egg & Cheese, Grapefruit & Vanilla Sugar or Maple Syrup & Powdered Sugar.
This has got to be one of my favorite meals to make on a weekly basis. Grilled chicken pitas with tzatziki and a cucumber and tomato salad.
Crispy chicken cutlets with roasted acorn squash, apples and pine nuts. Perfect for fall with the nutty roasted squash and crisp apples.
Butternut squash and spiced ground beef with plenty of fresh basil and mint. It's a perfect fall recipe that's savory and satisfying.
Crispy and delectable fried squash blossoms stuffed with fresh ricotta cheese and some crunchy fried sage leaves to go with.
A recipe for quick 20 minute Italian sausage and beans with a silky tomato sauce. It's a super simple weeknight meal.
Crispy, crunchy, pan-fried pork cutlets topped with a bright, peppery arugula and seasonal winter citrus salad.
Melon sherbet using just a handful of ingredients without any actual cooking. Mainly just a blend, mix, freeze situation.
Grilled trout with a pomegranate and preserved lemon sauce all served over a bed of couscous. It's quick and super flavorful.
Delicious, char-grilled lamb chops, cooked over coals with a super quick marinade made with some lemon and fresh oregano.
A recipe for the classic handmade pinci pasta from Montalcino, also known as pici throughout other areas in Tuscany. One of my favorites.
Tzatziki's great with anything cooked over coals. Grill up some meat and/or veg and serve with a generous dollop. Trust me it's delish!
Grilled bread rubbed with garlic, a generous smear of sun-dried tomato purée, whipped ricotta and topped with crisp fried basil.
Fried chicken cutlet sandwiches with sharp provolone, broccoli rabe and peppadews. A slight twist on a classic philly chicken cutlet sandwich
Escarole soup with porchetta sausage filled with lots of garlic and rosemary, from Giunta’s at the Reading Terminal Market in Philly.
A baked eggplant parmigiana with layers upon layers of lightly fried, paper thin eggplant, crispy fried sage and plenty of cheese.
These canoas have a sweet and savory, ground meat filling with briny olives and raisins, stuffed in a sweet plantain, and topped with cheese.
This peanut sauce goes good on anything so if you're not into the whole recipe just make the sauce, you won't be disappointed. You can also substitute in some tofu or seitan for the chicken or even go all veg with some charred eggplant, which honestly sounds so, so good.
Baked plantains are my favorite side dish, or main dish depending on my mood. Serve em up with some black beans, queso fresco, cilantro and I’m good.
A super refreshing jackfruit and spinach smoothie bowl topped with banana, mango, coconut, pitaya and mint.
