I grew up sharing the holidays with my extended family. Every year, we would gather and share some great times and wonderful food. My Aunt took us all by surprise when she brought these Sausage Stars one year. We all had to have the recipe! I’ve made it countless times, varying the ingredients…

Sausage, Pepper, & Onion Pizza
First of all, Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers out there! I realize this isn’t your normal “Mother’s Day Brunch” post or something like that, but I hope you all like it anyway. Celebrate mom by making her something special, no matter what it is! I love to make and eat…
Buffalo Chicken Wings
I have a weakness for a good buffalo chicken wing. Seriously. My mouth is watering right now just thinking about them, and I’m not even hungry. There’s something about the sauce that’s just… addictive. I think I need to add chicken wings to my shopping list again.
Rigatoni with Spicy Sausage-Tomato Sauce and Arugula
When I first saw this recipe on Epicurious, I knew I had to make it. It sounded like the perfect, lighter pasta dish for spring and summer. Spicy sausage, fresh basil, peppery arugula…. I was so right. The sauce was incredibly bright because of the fresh herbs and arugula. It was not too…
Simple Chicken Noodle Soup
There was a little bit of a chill in the air here recently. After a few 80 degree days, the 40 degree air felt rather frosty! It was the perfect reason to use some of my homemade stock which was taking up several cubic feet (yes feet!) of my tiny freezer.
Italian Sausage Stuffed Bread
My husband remembers the first time I made Italian Sausage Stuffed Bread; the flavors are definitely memorable! I was living in a college apartment with my sister at the time. While she was getting ready to go out to dinner with friends, this bread was in the oven baking. As soon as she…
Emeril’s Alfredo Sauce
Creamy and cheesy, alfredo sauce is delicious. I’ll admit that I’m one to buy a jar at the supermarket rather than embark on the journey of making my own, but that was not the case the other night…
Easy Quiche Lorraine
“Very clever dinner. Appetizing food fit neatly into interesting round pie.” “It’s a quiche.” “How do you spell?” “You don’t spell it son, you eat it!” Name that movie.
Jalapeño, Cream Cheese, & Bacon Bites (ABTs)
All right, folks. It’s taking everything I’ve got to keep from snickering about the title of these appetizers. Heaven knows I did while I was making them. I made up the name “Jalapeño, Cream Cheese, & Bacon Bites”, but across the world wide web, they are known as “Atomic Buffalo Turds” or “ABTs”….
Firecracker Shrimp
My husband and I worked at an Asian/Fusion restaurant while in college. They had an appetizer called “Crispy Shrimp Rolls” which we both adored. As with Lettuce Wraps, this was a dish that I had to learn to recreate at home. I spent some time perusing the internet for a recipe to begin…
