I have such a fondness for Snickerdoodles, not only because they taste delish, but it was the first cookie I baked in Home Economics when I was 12 years old. I fell in love with them because well, it’s sugar and cinnamon what’s not to love. I have been making them for my kiddos for…

Pumpkin Stuffed Shells with Cognac Blush Sauce
I love making stuffed shells. To me they are an open canvas and a way to make a feast for a large group that comes together fairly easy. There is something about the taste of pumpkin with the ricotta cheese that makes the shells so rich and decadent. You get a sweetness from the pumpkin…
Hazelnut Crusted Arancini
I love everything about arancini (Italian rice balls). I can remember having them at Sunday dinner and what a treat they were to have. My Dad use to make these with meat and peas, he loved his peas, but I don’t particulary care for the traditional Italian recipe. I am happy with simple, stuff it…
Authentic Cuban Panini
I love Cuban food. I fell in love with it when I began to visit Miami and the Bahamas years ago. The food and the people are just so lovely. Humble, hard working, proud people. The food is fresh, flavorful and just as warm and inviting as the people. One of my favorites is the…
Quattro Formaggi Pizza Dip
I am convinced if you put your mind to it, you can turn anything you love into a dip. Pizza is one of those dishes that everyone adores in some fashion or another. I love to deconstruct my favs and turn them into dips. This is my take on pizza dip. This has all the…
Cinnamon Applesauce
I have been making applesauce since my kidlets were babies. I loved making their baby food as I could easily use the freshest ingredients, without additives. Now that they are grown babies, they still love Mommy’s applesauce. Tonight I am making pork chops and it would be a shame not to have applesauce for them…
Oven Roasted Eggplant Parm
I love eggplant. I love everything about it, taste, texture, versatility! Love, love, love it! I use to adore fried eggplant, I don’t however, adore the calories and fat. So I make it in the oven now and have learned to love it even more! Plus I am getting healthy eating what I love. Sometimes…
Oven Fried Pork Chops
I have to admit I am not a big fan of pork. I do love pulled pork carnitas, and spicy Italian sausage, but I don’t go crazy for pork chops, loin of pork or any other pork to be honest. However, once in a while I do crave a good juicy pork chop for some…
Garlic & Herb Crusted Roast Beef
My mother use to make amazing roast beef. It was always perfectly cooked with a nice red tinge and just delicious. She had a particular method for baking it and the only thing I remember is her using mayonnaise, sadly it died with her and I can’t seem to replicate hers. In my frustration, many…
Dreamy Chocolate Chunk Cookies
I am a big fan of freshly baked cookies, fresh out of the oven. There is nothing better than a warm chewy chocolate chip cookie except when you double down and make them extra chocolaty. Made my kiddos a batch of chocolate chunk cookies last night and the fam went crazy for them. Obligatory milk…
