This milkshake is salty and sweet with a buttery undertone.

One rainy morning I was inspired by two over ripe bananas awaiting their fate. As they sat there looking sad and brown I saw the possibilities.

I have always been intimidated by filet mignon. I know it may seem kind of silly, but it is one of those things that intimidated me.

These Kale and Mushroom pockets are a lot like empanada’s. Anytime you can stuff pockets of dough with anything I think it is a winner.

I have made pasta Bolognese before but not lasagna. But as we know from other posts I loooove making different kinds of Lasagnas. They are great make ahead and freezer meals. Plus, Lasagna is great for a crowd!

Christmas came early for me this year when I was given the opportunity to work with the Italian cookware company, Lagostina.

Sauteed brussels sprouts with pancetta are the base for this fall inspired panzanella salad. Tossed with dried cranberries and carrots, this salad is as gorgeous as it is tasty.

As soon as the Halloween costume comes off the heavy holiday frenzy begins. I feel like I am thinking of what to bring to Thanksgiving all year round but for most people the panic usually sets in November 1st. 

What should you do with all those apples you picked this weekend? I am sure you can think of a million things, but what you should do is this one pan meal.

Pierogies are perfect comfort food and are about to have their time to shine. People have been experimenting with different fillings, and they are starting to pop on many restaurant menus.

this weekend we gave in and decided to combine the idea of a rice krispie treat and a caramel apple. Thus the Apple Jack marshmallow treat covered in caramel was born with a couple of special helpers.

This creamy, tangy, cheesy sauce is the answer to the comfort craving. Having spinach and mushrooms in it also makes it feel like you are doing something good for yourself!

I told you I was on a tomato kick! How can you resist when you see full on displays in the grocery store of beautiful red, yellow, green, and orange tomatoes? It is one of the most beautiful rainbows to behold!

Tomatoes are one of my favorite things to eat and the season for them is just too short! I was inspired by a dish my friend made and was also looking for a way to spice a BLT sandwich.

Spinach is my quick go to for a green side dish. It is super good for you and a weeknight winner.

I am pretty obsessed with all things Burrata. I love homemade mozzarella and Burrata is like a creamier version of that. Almost like what melted chocolate is for chocolate, that is what Burrata is for mozzarella.

Fig season seems to last for only a minute. One day they are everywhere, the next you are left with just prosciutto with no fig for it to wrap around.

As I was doing bicep curls in my gym class I was contemplating what to make for lunch. It is about that time where what is in the house is scarce and I am avoiding a trip to the grocery store.

My winning dessert was chocolate panna cotta with raspberry sauce. Super easy and a make ahead dish!
