Do not be afraid of this dish. I went with an Italian title because it just seemed fitting (and it is not too long ago that I could actually converse in Italian). The name just flows and sounds very elegant but in fact the dish is designed to be somewhat rustic and untraditional. The …

  Hi everyone! It’s been so long! Really, it has been way too long. I’m so sorry for my absence these past two weeks. Everything has been out of control crazy. I am currently visiting family in NJ, but I haven’t forgotten about all of you. As you may have noticed, I delegated some tasks …

We love steak and we don’t eat it very often. Sad, right? I think it’s sad at least. I originally wanted to make duck tacos for this recipe because duck is absolutely awesome, but I could not pass up the rib-eyes I saw staring me in the face the other day (a lot of foods …

Yup, that’s right you heard me…BLT soup. This soup was divine, just divine. It’s everything you could want in a BLT sandwich, but in the form of a soup, and it was just delicious. Did I mention it was divine? Well it was…if you were wondering. So anyway, it’s been kind of rainy here lately. …

I’m obsessed with my southwestern-style cookbook here lately. I feel like it’s my go-to book when I’m having mental blockage on recipe-making. Last night I decided to adapt one recipe that I’ve been wanting to make ever since I picked up this amazing cookbook. In their recipe, they used roughy. I don’t know how you …

Grits have to be one of the most magical foods on the planet. That’s right, magical is really the only word to describe them. They are especially magical when you pack them full of cheese and bacon =), and that is just what we did! You seriously can not go wrong with the amazingness that …
