Spinach Pasta

spinachpastadish2 How many photos am I going to have to shoot to prove that you must try this? I am such a convert to homemade pasta. Ever since trying it for the first time a month ago – I can’t go back! I have turned into such a pasta snob – I won’t eat out at Italian […]

Making Homemade Pasta

Oh these wintry days are forcing me to stay inside and entertain myself. I had a whole afternoon to myself with all my appointments cancelled and nothing to do but play with flour, eggs, and olive oil. I found a pasta making recipe on the Restless Chipolte blog and decide to give it a whirl! It’s time […]

Greek Linguine with Shrimp

This morning I was browsing through all the wonderful recipes I have pinned on Pinterest and realized how many of them I haven’t made yet! I have been drooling over this one from Closet Cooking for over a year and tonight had all the ingredients in my refrigerator. This recipe screams freshness – fresh shrimp, fresh herbs and vine-ripe […]

Peas and Parsley Orzo

If I had to make one thing for my Hubby for the rest of his life – it would be peas. Preferably peas and pasta. With the spring vegetables sneaking into the farmer’s markets and grocery stores, fresh peas have made an appearance, and I have been searching for a new peas and pasta recipe. […]

Lobster Mac ‘n Cheese

So while you were chowing down on wings, pizza and pulled pork sandwiches yesterday – we took a different approach to Superbowl Sunday. I don’t like to do what everyone else is doing and our Superbowl celebration is quite subdued compared to everyone else…in that, I’m not into it. Yes, I watch the commercials and loved halftime! […]

Noodle Kugel

Today is a melancholy day – this week would have been Nonnie’s birthday. Two years ago, Nonnie left us for a better place. It was her time and she left behind warm memories and a large footprint on everyone’s life. Nonnie was my girls’ Jewish grandmother always making traditional Jewish foods like mandel bread, matzo ball […]

Tex Mex Casserole

He won’t stop talking about it. I made this casserole several days ago and everyday since then – he still tells me how much he loved this casserole! Granted Hubby is a casserole lover but I’ve never heard him rant about it like this. I sent leftovers to his parents’ house and now they are […]

Stuffed Shells

I’m ending week one of my WeightWatchers commitment. So far, so good! There were challenging days in that we went out three times with friends and I didn’t want my ‘diet’ to interfere with my friendships and social life. Other than counting points and planning ahead – it wasn’t so bad. I just found myself […]

Chicken Parmesan Light

We love pasta in our house and crave it about once a week. I try to cut corners with calories when I can and this recipe delivers! I’ve been making it for several years now tweaking it along the way. It never disappoints while giving you the full flavor of Chicken Parmesan… and easily made […]

Spaghetti and Meatballs

I’ve been away from this blog and my kitchen for over a week. We were vacationing in one of our favorite places in the world – Key West. I missed my kitchen and my family was hankering for a home-cooked meal. So today, I bring you one of my most treasured recipes. But first a […]
