Paired this with our spinach fettuccine alfredo for dinner tonight. It was a huge hit with my family! Everyone seemed to enjoy this wine blend of zinfandel, syrah, cabernet sauvignon, and merlot. I highly recommend this wine if you are looking for something in the $13 range.

Happy New Year!! This year my brother made Beef Wellington and I made Potatoes Au Gratin. Everything turned out AMAZING. Check out the pictures below:  

Had this tonight paired with our dinner…delicious! From Kaiken’s website: KAIKEN Malbec, Reserve: Of a deep violet color, warm in the nose, with notes of ripe fruit and traces of tobacco and butterscotch.

This is the third time I made this beast of a pizza and it always proves to be a crowd pleaser, and feeds a lot of people. This time the fillings I used were hot & sweet sausage, caramelized onions, mushrooms, red & green peppers, sautéed garlic and of course sauce and mozzarella cheese. One [...]

I completely forgot that I took pictures for this back in December and was about to make it again until I stumbled across a missing memory card. I love making my own Baileys; it’s delicious, cheaper* and for some reason seems to shock people when you say you made your own Baileys Cream. *Cheaper if [...]

So I lied, I wish I could take credit for this garden oasis but all credit must go to Big Joe, my dad.

So, it’s been a long time since my last post. I’ve been a bit lazy… AKA on my LAST winter break sitting around and watching some quality TV, and then started off on my LAST semester of college…ugh. Anyways, I kind of lost the need to cook  over break since my culinary master parents do [...]

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of going clamming on the Long Island Sound with some of my closest friends. The result was bushels of delicious clams and some new recipes!

Part 2 of my Carribean Cruise – Long overdue. Island food and fruits.

I’m back from my amazing vacation in the Caribbean and I have lots of mouth watering food to share with you. Thankfully my quest for the elusive fried fish sandwich was fulfilled along my insatiable appetite for EVERYTHING.

Ever since I heard our local blueberry farm was open for picking I have been anxious to get up there, nothing better than searching for big juicy berries while watching the sun sink below the mountains on a weekday night. This past week they even had some local blues band playing, and people bring picnics [...]
