This Homemade Sardinian Semolina Ciccioni (Gnocchi) with an easy Sausage and Tomato Sauce was heavenly! Each golden "nugget" is a dumpling (gnocchi) made with semolina flour, and saffron (for color). The pasta is a little time-consuming to make, but it's simple enough that even kids can do it! I love Italian food. My love of Italian food goes beyond pizza and spaghetti. I
Coeur a la Creme Dessert with a Raspberry Chambord Coulis Sauce for Valentine’s Day
The origins of this dessert comes from France. "Heart of the Creme" is what this dessert translates to. I did buy a heart-shaped porcelain dish, with holes along the bottom. Using a cheese cloth, this slightly sweet dessert mixture is left overnight so that the "whey" can separate. I served this dish with a raspberry coulis sauce, for a very traditional and pretty Valentine's Day dessert. Don't
Oatmeal Crispies Cookies
These Oatmeal Crispies are one of my favorite oatmeal cookies. I've made several variations of this by adding pecans and butterscotch chips. It's truly the very best oatmeal cookie recipe I've ever made-- I think it's a subtle addition of cinnamon and nutmeg that gives this cookie a special "mmmmmm" One morning, I noticed an unopened carton of Quick-Oats, and it triggered memories of
Classic Perfect 7-Up Pound Cake
This classic 7-up Pound Cake recipe has 7-Up soda added to the batter. The soda gives a lighter texture and just a tad bit more sweetness. You can enjoy it plain, or dress it up with fresh fruit and whipped cream! It’s a classic that dates back a few decades, but one that is always a crowd pleaser. I'm not 100% sure when 7-Up Pound Cake was born, but it's a classic recipe that incorporates
Delicious and Refreshing Homemade Ruby Red Grapefruit Sorbet
This sorbet is very simple, wonderful palate cleanser and a really refreshing dessert. You can easily use blood oranges or Meyer lemons, which are also in season in the winter months. Every winter, I eagerly scan the citrus section of my grocery store. I'm on the hunt for grapefruit-- and not just any grapefruit. I am looking for Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit. For those of you who might remember
Guilt-free German Chocolate Cake that tastes sinfully good!
German Chocolate Cake is classic dessert, with a gooey caramel-y coconut filling and topping that is irresistible. This recipe is made lighter, without losing the flavor or giving up on the coconut filling. It's really that good! To be truthful-- I'm a hard sell when I see a reduced-calorie recipe for cake. Somehow, "Reduced Fat" and "Cake" translates as an oxymoron to me. I've made low-fat
Quick and Easy Chicken Parmigiana
This Chicken Parmigiana is an Italian classic quick and easy way to turn boring chicken into something flavorful. Yes, you can use bottled pasta sauce, or make my homemade version. Served over pasta, this is a delicious dinner that even kids will love. If you've never made Chicken Parmesan (or Parmigiana), you need marinara sauce. I stopped buying bottled spaghetti sauce years ago, because I
Transylvanian Goulash Stew
Pork and Sauerkraut Stew This Transylvanian Goulash Stew has tender bits of pork, seasoned with Paprika and slow cooked with sauerkraut. Served over mashed potatoes or egg noodles, this is a comforting and economical meal that will warm your belly. When I made this recipe, I was reminded of my six week trip throughout Europe back in the late 70's (yeah, I'm no Spring Chicken,
Spring Greens with Pears, Blue Cheese and Candied Pecans
This salad uses just a few ingredients that delivers the perfect marriage of pears, blue cheese and candied pecans with a delicate balsamic vinaigrette. I serve this whenever we have company for dinner, and it's always a big hit! I feel as though I am still digesting the Salmon En Croute, with Duxelles, that I made for our Christmas Eve Dinner. I must not forget the Beurre Blanc sauce that I
