Rice Balls (Arancini)

Originally published on July 24, 2017 I had my first rice balls about a year ago. My grandma was in the hospital (she’s much better now) and one of the only shining lights was that there was this fantastic Italian grocery store my mom knew about close by. We picked up a bunch of good stuff, along […]

Prosciutto and Broccoli Quiche

Originally published on August 2, 2017 Have I ever told you about just how much my kids love quiche? I mean, I love quiche, but every time I make it, I wonder how they’ll react to it. And they always scarf it down. You think I’d learn by now. When it came to this particular quiche, I loved it […]

How to Make Cloud Eggs

Originally published September 5, 2017 Those who know me well know that if I’m pressed to give an opinion about the one perfect food in this world, my answer would be eggs. Every. Single. Time. It used to be due to the fact that there’s just so much that can be done with eggs. You can […]

I’ve stepped up my aerobic game, literally, and I’ve started keeping track of everything I eat with My Fitness Pal. This free app is great. Not only will it track all of your calories that […]

Emeril’s Essence

Originally posted on October 5, 2017 So I promised you several posts this week on homemade spice blends, and today’s is all about taco seasoning. I used to buy those little packs you can get at the grocery store and that are filled with all the spices you need; and there is not so much as […]

Spice Mix for Roasted Potato Wedges

Originally posted on October 6, 2017 I think roasted potato wedges were one of the dishes I first started cooking. It’s a good one to start with, because they are so incredibly easy. But can you believe that I used to just toss them with salt and pepper?! I mean, how boring is that? These days I […]

Garlic Dip/Dressing

Originally posted on October 12, 2017 So last week was all about the different spice mixes you can create in your own kitchen and store in your pantry instead of wasting all that money on them in the grocery store. And just like you can do it with spices, you can also do it with dips and dressings (and […]
