Warmer days are coming and I can't wait to cook all those light, fresh colorful meals again!
Cooking at home for family & friends has never been more popular. Summer is a great time to explore and learn new recipes. Follow along with me and let's get cooking!
Bruschetta, Italian style is great anytime, but it is better in the summer when the tomatoes are in season.
Serve Vegetable Quesadilla with salsa, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, guacamole and shredded chicken breast
You can make Italian Chick Pea (Ceci Bean) Salad a million different ways by putting anything you like in it, even pasta!
Lentil soup has a lot going on. I like it hearty, rustic Italian style and full of veggies so it’s not boring. You can add small pasta like tubetini.
This is a basic Italian meatball recipe that my grandmother always made. She said if there wasn’t pork in it that it wouldn’t taste as good.
You don’t have to wait till you go to a restaurant for this delicious Italian desert. It’s classic, no-bake, and it's a simple treat to make.
