In honor of National Nutrition month (March) I created a healthier version of a cookie with T-Fal and Carrington Farms.

To cure my Monday blues I decided to finally try to tackle making a rice bowl. I have been seeing them all over Instagram and they look amazing. 

These meatballs are great appetizers for cocktail party as they are a side dish or lunch. Also, they are good on their own and not fried if you want a healthier spin.

You can use frozen meatballs for this, but I decided to give you my mom’s master meatball recipe. This is because I love all of you more than frozen meatballs.

Upon ordering, our guide mentioned that Icelandic “Meat Soup” was his favorite meal. He explained his grandmother used to make it for him all time and I jumped at the chance to continue the conversation by asking him many questions on how she made it.

Making a good roasted chicken is one of the number one dishes to add to your “repertoire” they say. Although it sounds fancy and rather complicated, I promise you it’s not!

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!
