I’ve made this dish for MANY years during the hot months. I actually make it a little different each time because I use what’s in the refrigerator. I also always use Cento San Marzano Peeled Tomatoes because they taste perfect with this dish. Great as a snack or side dish […]

Fiesta Taco Boats
UPDATE: I’m convinced these were probably a promotional item – I can’t find them ANYWHERE! Remember I bought some of these Ortega Fiesta Flats to try? Well, it’s Taco Tuesday today so I decided on Tacos for lunch. I started reheating some of the leftover Taco Meat I made a […]
Tacos “Italiano” (an Italian twist)
Traders Joes Red Quinoa is a ingredient for meatless Tacos! With leftovers for 3 more meals! Tacos are a real staple in our house. This is one of my ways to make them. This Red Quinoa package is very simple and easy to bring in some flavor to. I didn’t […]

These can be used to accompany nearly any dish. It’s particularly good to have the Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar whisked and served in a bowl to dip in – or, brush it on.

Salmon Filet Salad
This is a very common meal in our house about twice a week. I change the Mrs. Dash up for other spices at times. It’s also fun to add a drizzle of Reduced Balsamic Glaze before serving.

The best Pizza Sauces are simple. The ingredients are simple. Simple to assemble. I grew up with this one and it stands out till this day. Make this batch for Pizzas tonight and store the rest for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator – or freeze it.
Pizza Dough
This is an authentic, Italian Pizza Dough recipe that’s been in the family as long as I can remember. Its the same recipe we used in the restaurant and still works great – so why change it.
Spaghetti with Garlic and Olive Oil
This is such a basic recipe that is easy to build on – I use this as a base and add whatever is in the vegetable drawer . Try adding small Broccoli flowerets with the Garlic. Add Cubed Roma Tomatoes and toss. Clear out your vegetable drawer and add it! […]
