Brown Butter Miso -Glazed Wild Salmon Recipe

When I was 10 years old, I decided to become a pescatarian.  My parents were very worried, but I am sure I ate more protein than I needed between seafood a few times a week and a daily dose of cheese.  When I went to college, I went on a date (with my now-husband) and he asked me if I wanted to try his steak.  I have no idea why I said yes (maybe I wanted to make sure there would be a another date), but I tried it and thought steak wasn’t as bad as I remembered.  Forward a few decades later and I am not loving animal protein other than seafood yet again.  And ironically, the meat-and-potatoes husband is now newly plant-based.  Life is definitely unpredictable, if nothing else.Continue reading

Salad with Burrata, Figs, and Prosciutto

I actually don’t spend as much time cooking for my family as you might think.  I have a full-time teaching schedule and I have to work hard at keeping up with my social media channels and my blog.  I obviously love cooking, but I pretty much cook all day. So when it comes time to make something for dinner for my family or on the weekends for friends, I go simple.  But the Italian in me knows that the simpler the recipe, the better the ingredients have to be.Continue reading

I am the type of person that eats something once and enjoys it so much that I’ll keep making it and eating it over and over again until I’m just plain tired of it.  This would happen more often than it does only because I have to test recipes and post new and inspiring food on my blog and social media regularly.  But if I’m being honest, I would otherwise repeat what I eat A LOT!Continue reading

Romesco is my new favorite addiction! Not to be confused with Romanesco, a seriously gorgeous chartreuse vegetable which looks like is a cross between broccoli and cauliflower, Romesco is a delicious Spanish dip/sauce which combines roasted red peppers and almonds and other flavorful ingredients.  I love it so much that I eat it straight out of the bowl, but it’s also amazing on roasted or grilled vegetables, with grilled or roasted protein, or with crudites.Continue reading

Load me up with fruit in the summer and that’s all I need. But let’s not pretend we’re here for the “seasonal fruit” today.  I am using the fruit as a vehicle to consume as much of this coconut dulce de leche as possible.  Fact about me in case we’re ever on a game show together and you get asked what’s my favorite dessert.  The correct answer is ice cream.  Always and forever.Continue reading

I’m going to visit my family on Long Island soon which means I am putting together a mega meal plan for the week.  Feeding 15 people of all different ages breakfast, lunch and dinner requires some careful planning.  I usually do the menus as well as take on the role of head chef.  My mother typically does the grocery shopping and helps with the cooking.  My two sisters also help with the cooking and washing of the dishes.  The little ones set and clear the table and occasionally I get one or two of them in the kitchen with me.  It’s a good way to spend time together and make sure not one person (like me LOL) does everything.Continue reading

I just roasted cauliflower last night, in the middle of summer, and it was so delicious.  I think I avoid roasting vegetables in the summer in favor of the grill or eating vegetables raw.  But it’s hard to beat the ease and flavor of roasted vegetables, especially cauliflower which is a vegetable I eat all year round. I might go out on a limb and say cauliflower is my favorite vegetable.Continue reading
