This is our new family favorite recipe! Creamier than the Creamy Fettucini with Ham that I made last week. The flavor of the sun-dried tomatoes coming from the turkey makes it VERY HARD to stop eating. Maybe I shouldn't post this recipe? With all the hub-bub of watching our waistlines and all, if you make this creamy carb creation, you're thoughts of dieting for the new year are OVER! Bwa Ha Ha... More...

This is another EXTREMELY simple pasta meal that everyone can enjoy. The cream sauce comes together so quickly, you'll find yourself watching the pasta cook. The cream sauce is mild with a cooked onion flavor, my kids ATE IT UP! The original recipe comes from my favorite Italian cookbook. However, it called for a lot of butter and cooking fat from the ham, then it called for heavy cream. I couldn't... More...

This is the result of combining the experience of one recipe (Chicken Cacciatore) with the exploration of two new ones (Rabbit with Tomatoes, pg. 393 and Eggplant Parmesan, pg. 400 from my favorite Italian cookbook.) I figured this meal was going to be either a complete miss or really good. IT WAS A HIT! Charlie & I CHOWED DOWN! TWICE! It made excellent leftovers. Maggie wouldn't touch it,... More...

I'll be completely honest with you. I haven't been a fan of sun-dried tomatoes. I'm not even sure I've grown to the level of "fan", yet. For years now, I've read restaurant menus carry on about sun-dried tomatoes in their dishes. And for years now, I haven't met a sun-dried tomato dish I liked. You already know I'm slow on picking up on the latest fads. But you gotta know something else about... More...

The first time I enjoyed this salad I couldn't believe how wonderful it tasted. It's fresh, crunchy, has lots of flavors without be overpowering anywhere (not even the shrimp) and it's very filling. It doesn't take much to get full. The recipe I'm sharing here is a combination of what I have eaten from the nearest foodie mart deli (79 miles away) and Barefoot Contessa's Roasted Shrimp and Orzo.... More...
