Arrabbiata Sauce

Hello! The last few weeks have been pretty insane. Dustin and I began renovations on the basement and it’s been a slow process to say the least. I’ve been a bit busy and neglected to get this recipe out right after I created it. Of course this is a new […]

Sticky Asian Duck Sauce

Hello! I have a great, new recipe for you to try. This has been made a few times in our house (one of those times was on Christmas Day), and I’m so glad we decided to make this recipe for that holiday. Until we made it ourselves, I never realized […]

Marinated Mushrooms

Hello! Growing up, Sundays were spent food-shopping at our favorite Italian supermarket. What I remember most about those trips is the freshly-baked Italian bread in long, white paper bags, that was still warm from the oven, the cold cut counter, and the salad counter. The men in the deli department […]

Eggplant Caprese

Hello Again! Happy New Year! I have an amazing, easy, and insanely flavorful recipe for you to try. I used to make this recipe with chicken, which you could easily swap out in place of the eggplant if you wish to. I will have to admit, we slacked on our […]

Boilo

Hello Again! It’s a beautiful snowy Saturday in December, and Dustin and I have decided to make some Boilo. It’s a tradition up here in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and being that we LOVE taking traditional recipes and putting our own spin on it, we thought this once would be perfect to […]

Asian Mushroom Dumplings

Hello! Its been a crazy couple of weeks and I sort of fell off the blogging scene for a bit, but now I’m back at it! I have a bunch of new recipes to add, as well. One of my latest obsessions has been making steamed dumplings. I have bought […]
