“a recipe has no soul; you must bring soul to the recipe” One of my very favorite dishes is sausage and peppers. I will make them when I have a lot of company or during the week for my family. I have a lot of parties in the summer so my guests can always count…

Nana’s Pizza
“home is where the pizza is” Every Sunday morning while visiting my in-laws, we would get to enjoy my mother-in-law’s delicious pizza. My mother-in-law was Irish, but her mother-in-law taught her to be a great Italian cook. I have been trying for years for my pizza to taste like hers; She was another one who…
Easy breakfast bites
“your mornings set the tone for the day” I’ve been telling Ronnie for awhile that I was going to make vegetable egg bites for him so he wouldn’t have to worry about making breakfast for himself. I figured I’d make them on a Sunday night and freeze them and he would have them for the…
Green olive and cream cheese dip – with Fritos
“life is short , eat dip for dinner” This is by far the best dip (as long as you like green olives). This is definitely my go to dip when I have company (especially when Shannon is over), or when we just feel like having a snack. The other night I was by myself because…
Stefanie’s “go to chicken”
“memories are made when gathering around the table” This chicken recipe is my favorite dish to make when I have a lot of people over or if I don’t know what to make during the week. It’s quick and easy and it always comes out good. You can use any kind of chicken. I prefer…
Grandpa Eggs
“wake up and be awesome” My dad’s parents died when I was 8 years old so I don’t remember a lot about them. What I do remember, though, was that my grandfather would eat soft boiled eggs everyday. So whenever I wanted soft boiled eggs I would refer to them as “Grandpa eggs.” It’s funny…
Quinoa With Mushrooms and Cherry Tomatoes
“enjoy life it’s delicious” While eating dinner last night, Ronnie was already thinking about tonight’s dinner (things haven’t changed in 33 years). He suggested turkey burgers with quinoa. We went to Whole Foods market; they make the best turkey burgers with feta and spinach and we bought rainbow quinoa. I now had to think of…
Mama’s “quick” sauce
“Every bite takes you home” When I was young my sister and I would spend most weekends with my grandparents, my grandmother would make the most delicious foods. Her “quick” sauce was my favorite, she would serve it over angel hair pasta and ricotta. The combination was amazing and as my grandmother always said is…
My Sunday “gravy”
“Cooking is one of the great gifts you can give to those you love” Ina Garten So while the meatballs are cooking I start my “gravy” . The gravy I make is a combination of my dad’s and grandmother’s. Throughout the years I have mastered a delicious (so my kids say) gravy. 2 cans of…
Not My Dad’s Meatballs
“food tastes better when you eat it with family” Memories of my dad cooking are the sweetest. He worked all week so on weekends he would cook the most delicious meals. One of my favorites were his meatballs, I would watch him make them but being an Italian he didn’t measure anything. So when I…
