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.

Butternut squash and spiced ground beef with plenty of fresh basil and mint.

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.

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.

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.

A super refreshing jackfruit and spinach smoothie bowl topped with banana, mango, coconut, pitaya and mint.

I grew up eating these pickled eggs and beets my grandmom made.

A super simple homemade blue cheese dressing recipe.

I’m a big fan of grilling in winter, and a grilled stone fruit salad with curly endive is a nice change from the usual burger or steak.

I don't have a place that serves stuffed grape leaves in my neighborhood, I had to take matters into my own hands, hence Stuffed Swiss Chard Leaves.

A simple and refreshing summer salad with cucumbers and white peaches, but you can use any stone fruit you have on hand.

For this version I wanted something a bit brighter, with some spice and lots of bright flavors so I went for some lime, chipotle and cumin.

A grilled zucchini salad topped with fresh ricotta, lemon and basil.

A simple butterflied chicken, roasted, but done outside on the grill.

I love this crispy sesame cabbage salad when it's hot out.
