Jump to recipe In almost every local Irish Pub that I have been in, and not going to lie, there have been several, you will see some version of potatoes (yes, the Irish staple). One of my favorite mash ups, if you will, yes…pun intended and well placed…is Colcannon. Now if you have never had…

Neapolitan Beef Braciole
Jump to Recipe Growing up Italian, the granddaughter of Italian Immigrants and only the second generation born in the United States, you take for granted the food that you grew up on and assume that everyone had dined with family over these same foods on Sunday. That the mounds of pasta, homemade Chianti, bowls overflowing…
Mediterranean Mini Meat Loaves
I am so excited about this recipe I can hardly contain myself. For one it is relatively healthy, and for another it just tastes so damn good. Listen, I know there are some meatloaf purist who want nothing more than good old-fashioned meatloaf the way Mom made it with ketchup and all. Me personally, if…
Italian Spare Ribs in Red Gravy
Jump to Recipe My father bless his heart, loved his “gravy” and his pasta. This was not lost on his oldest daughter, as nothing screams comfort food to me more than a heaping bowl of pasta, gravy and some delicious, simmered meat. My father loved to infuse his gravy with flavor long before it was…
Pumpkin Gnocchi with Sage Butter and Maple Drizzle
Jump to Recipe OK, so if you really read my blog and don’t just pass by briefly, you know I love fall and pumpkin everything, not necessarily in that order. I have been making gnocchi every which way to Sunday, forever. For one, it was super easy for me not to goof up back in…

This is one of those recipes that you throw together because you just want something different to make for the family. My family loves buffalo chicken in many forms. I simply took all of the elements of buffalo chicken and made them into an elegant rolled chicken breast, that is beyond amazing. I love this…
Potato and Cheddar Cheese Pierogi
Growing up, our culture was celebrated proudly by our family. I am Italian, Irish, Polish, and most recently through a DNA testing, I discovered I am French, Albanian, and North African. So growing up food was a big part of celebrating our roots as is with most families. Universally, we all celebrate moments of our…
Italian Ricotta Meatballs
I have found that meatballs are a very personal and potentially, a very touchy subject, in some circles. Mostly by anyone who cooks! Everyone believes that their “ball game” is tight, and theirs are the best. I am no exception to this. I have found that recently I have upped my game, by adding fresh…
Maple and Brown Sugar Bacon Jelly
I am always creating spreads for sandwiches and fillings for appetizers. I was looking for a different ways to incorporate bacon and Habanero peppers. When, I first made this with orange marmalade and spicy habanero peppers and it was amazing. This time around I wanted something a bit more subtle and this is what I…
