Valentine’s Dinner

I’m a romantic. I enjoy a good romantic comedy, and you’ll often find me cooking dinner to the dreamy melody of La Vie En Rose, or just about any French jazz-inspired playlist. I love Valentine’s Day. Even when I was single, there was always something wistful about this holiday – though seldomly admitted due to the fear of seeming cliché.

Dreaming of Cupids

Valentine's Day is practically here! Another reason to celebrate, eat and share your love. As I consider Valentine's Day, I decided what recipe to share with you in my next culinary article. I dream that the days and evenings are long, light and warm.

Valentine’s Choco-Coco Hug Cookies

Being the only girl in a houseful of boys, I try to fit anything pink into my life as much as I can. When Valentine’s Day rolls around, it’s definitely my excuse to decorate the house and bake all things pink! These Valentine’s Choco-Coco Hug Cookies are no exception.

How To Throw An AWESOME Football Party

There is nothing I enjoy more than hosting a party at my house. I love preparing cheese and charcuterie boards, cooking a surplus of main dishes and sides, and decorating the space with fun Pinterest finds. One of my favorite days to host is Superbowl. It’s casual, lively, and encourages a table filled with appetizers and dips.

Bella Bolognese

It must be Sunday, circa 1960. Upon waking Sunday mornings, I can hear activity and lots of movement in the kitchen. Clanging pots and pans, the sound of meat sizzling, the can opener, the blender mixing tomatoes, and the sounds of the Victrola softly playing music from Jerry Vale, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra.

Peppermint Hot Cocoa Cookies

When Christmas rolls around, it immediately brings one thing to mind: cookies! My sisters and I have a Cookie Day during the holidays where we bake hundreds of cookies for our family, friends, and neighbors.

A New Year Recipe for: “A Good Life!”

This is one recipe I would like to share with you (out of the kitchen) that you will save, cherish and hopefully prepare over and over again!

Holiday Arancini Rice Balls

Each season brings a new opportunity to create or reinvent your style and traditions. This is one recipe that needs no change!

Toats Coffeehouse

Upon first glance, Toast is your typical neighborhood coffee shop. It is only after you walk inside and witness the hoards of people waiting for a table, that you realize there must be something distinctively special about this place. Instead of waiting an hour for a table,

Italian Salsa

A spread for your Bread! This is an easy salsa to serve at your next gathering with baguette slices ­–an Italian spin on salsa. Great on crackers, pita’s or chips.

Thanksgiving (Giving Thanks…for the memories!)

As I begin to prepare for the Thanksgiving feast, I always include the quintessential casserole; a creamy mushroom soup that surrounds frozen green peas(or green string beans), topped with frozen onion rings and French’s crispy onions.

Fall Scoop

More Fall scoop! Let’s Gut The JACK-O’-LANTERN to get the great tasting scoop on this soup! Halloween is finally upon us, but the pumpkin spirit can live on.
