OK let’s start the week off right with another on pan wonder! This week let’s go for rigatoni with spicy Italian sausage. This one was soooo good and such a breeze to make. I know winter is winding down, but it’s still fairly chilly and rigatoni is the perfect comfort food for this weather. I’m…
Irish Colcannon
I keep pestering Tai to ask his family if they have any traditional Irish recipes that they could share with me, but between work and preparing for vacation that has understandably fallen to the back burner. So I did some research and found a few recipes that were more than just boiled cabbage and potatoes….
Potatoes Au Gratin
There is no better combination than potatoes and cheese. Like seriously, it’s the best. That’s why sites like Buzzfeed have listicle after listicle of cheese recipes. Because they are good, and dangerously so. I recently read an article that said that cheese has the same addictive properties as some drugs, and I can…
Polish Meatballs
The other night I was watching the live showing of Grease on TV. It was fantastic! I couldn’t help but sing along to all of the songs and smile at every cute moment between Danny and Sandy. When I was growing up, I was obsessed with musicals. I would borrow CDs from the town…
Sriracha Sweet and Sour Meatballs
Well MY team (the Patriots) lost today in the playoff game versus the Denver Broncos, but that won’t stop me from watching the Super Bowl (and rooting for the Panthers, because come on, there’s no way I’d go for the Broncos at the moment). I made these for the playoffs today and will definitely…
Soy Glazed London Broil
Before the blizzard, I went to our local grocery store to stock up on some food and it was completely wiped out! Forget about milk and bread, there was no cereal, no chicken, no ground meat, no soup even! New Yorkers were going all out in their storm preparation. I was left with fresh…
Snickerdoodles
I have fond memories of my Mom making snickerdoodles during the holiday season when I was a little kid. We would always leave out cookies for Santa and these were a great alternative to sugar cookies (as kids we would take hours to decorate just a few cookies). Santa (aka my dad) would eat all…
Cheesy Baked Pasta
Its a crazy weeknight and once again I’m faced with coming home late from work and having to make a meal for Tai and myself. And let me tell you, frozen meals can only go so far before you craze more filling and satisfying foods. Tonight I decided to jazz up some pasta and…
French Onion Soup
Soup is on! And it’s better than ever! This time around I made my favorite soup, French Onion Soup. Whenever my family would go out to lunch and french onion soup was on the menu, one of us HAD to order it. I first made french onion soup when i moved into…
Apple Crumble Pie
Shhh….don’t tell my Mom but I created a new apple pie recipe, and Apple Crumble Pie. It goes against every slice of pie I had while growing up, but oh man, it was good! The crumb topping was sensational, and something that I have never tried before. It’s like coffee cake and apple pie…
