The food cooked in my kitchen…
Here is where you will find the family recipes that I grew up on and really where my passion for food started. Along the way, I have created my own recipes that also remind me of my childhood. I love being inspired by other cultures. I try to cook more than just Italian food but to be honest, I could live off of pasta! I hope my recipes can inspire you to create a little mess in the kitchen and that they become apart of your own family traditions.
Appetizers
My Grams Italian Garlic Bread
Bread is one of those food items that literally could be present at any dinner not depending on the cuisine being served. Plus, who doesn’t love bread? I would love to meet you, to see if you actually exist, but we also probably can’t be friends. I love bread! I can eat it dry, smothered in butter, or dipped in any pasta sauce. This bread recipe is present at almost every family dinner and has tons of flavor!
Main Entrees
The Best 4 Ingredient Red Sauce
This sauce recipe is perfect along with anything from pasta to stuffed banana peppers to drizzled over fried cheese. Its very easy to make and the ingredients should be in your pantry already. This is a lighter sauce and is full of flavor for only having a few ingredients. Perfect to make on a cold day when you are stuck inside.
Mom’s famous Banana Pudding
This recipe is definitely a crowd favorite. At this point my mom is expected to make it for every family dinner and get together. Plus, its the perfect dish to bring to anyone’s house or party that you are invited to since it can be displayed beautifully with its creamy layers and has fresh bananas.
