I never tried tetrazzini until I went to college. It just wasn’t a recipe my family made and not one common in our area. Every Thursday night, the late night dining hall would have a pasta night and it was honestly some of the best dining hall food (the absolute best was the Taco Tuesday…
Easy Beef Ragu with Pappardelle
There are few recipes that I make that I’m craving to make again afterwards. I had been putting Beef Ragu on my recipes ideas list for a while and finally decided to make it after I saw some good beef on sale. And now I’m kicking myself because it was so darn good I want…
Easy Swedish Meatballs
I have a Love/Hate relationship with Ikea and I think most of the love stems from their awesome Swedish Meatballs. Each time I go I end up cracking and getting some at the food court. Little did I know that I could have Easy Swedish Meatballs without the frustration of putting together furniture. This recipe…
Leftover Ham Creamy Tortellini
I love Holiday meals. I love that they center around the food and that there is more than you could possibly finish in a day. But after a while, what do you do with all of the leftovers? I’ve become very good at repurposing them so that I use them up before having to throw…
Easy Lemon Garlic Shrimp Scampi
I’m a bit late writing this post because Tai and I got sucked into watching the Oscars. For someone who doesn’t care much about award shows, he guessed almost every win correctly! I think i’ll have to take him to vegas with me next time as my good luck charm! The other night we made…
Mushroom Hazelnut Pappardelle
If you told me five years ago that I would be cooking with mushrooms and enjoying them, I’d laugh in your face. My prior experience with mushrooms was limited to buttery sautéed cremini and rubbery mushrooms on pizza. Neither was an amazing experience. Fast forward to the present and I’ve really begun to appreciate the…
Spicy Shrimp Fra Diavolo
Living in NYC, one of the biggest cultural influences for food is the Italian-American influence. New York City is known for its ever evolving cuisine and latest trends in the culinary world, but one thing remains constant: New York City has the best Italian food outside of Italy. When I went to make a recipe…
Cacio and Pepe Baked Gnocchi
I recently saw an article in Food Network Magazine about the Cacio E Pepe craze that is currently underway. Not to miss out on the latest food trend, I was excited to try my own twist on a classic. I made a Cacio and Pepe Baked Gnocchi and am so happy with the delicious results! …
Gnocchi and Sausage with Cream Sauce
Gnocchi has become on of my favorite meals. It’s easy to make either from scratch or from store bought and the possibilities are endless. I love creating a new twist on this dish every time I make it. That’s why I have so many gnocchi recipes on my blog! This time I decided to…
American Chop Suey aka Goulash
If there was a meal that would bring me right back to childhood, it would be American Chop Suey aka Goulash. This was the meal my mom would make when we knew that we’d be busy and would need leftovers. For when we were going to have bad weather and needed food that was ready…
