These Italian stuffed zucchini boats are super hearty and delicious. They’re stuffed with ground beef simmered in a spicy Italian tomato sauce and they’re the perfect low carb option if you’re craving a pasta dinner. Summer is coming and you’re bound to have an endless supply of zucchini and this is the best stuffed zucchini recipe I’ve tried. ...
I have to admit I am pretty obsessed with breakfast breads, and this Chocolate Chunk Zucchini Bread is rising pretty quickly to the top of my list. I have a ton of them on this site, ranging from Vanilla Clementine Quick Bread to Cream Cheese Banana Bread. I’m constantly working up new recipes for morning breads, because I am SO much more likely ...
This Portuguese Bean Soup could literally not be easier to make. It doesn’t have a lot of ingredients, but when they all cook together they make this soup recipe one of the most delicious there is. Of course, with everything the quality of ingredients matters, so I would look for a good thick slab smoked bacon, and find the best white beans you ...
These really are the best dark chocolate brownies! Is there really anything better? The best thing about these is that they take into account both types of brownie lovers. They're just ooey and gooey enough, but not so much to turn away those that prefer a more cakey brownie. They really are exactly in the middle. Nothing beats homemade ...
So I have this Italian friend Angelo, and he's just about the best cook I've ever known. I quickly learned that among his friends and family he was quite famous for his lasagna. I didn't have to insist much for him to make it for me, he loves cooking quite possibly more than I do. All I can say is WOW - his lasagna was by far the ...
This one pot greek pasta from TSRI is easy, rich, and delicious. I really can not say enough good things about this dinner recipe, you'll have to try it yourself. I have been such a huge fan of Donna and Chad Elick from over at The Slow Roasted Italian for years now. I took a break from this blog for a few years to run my food truck in ...
I love, love, love biscuits. They're super easy to make and ridiculously delicious. Served hot out of the oven with butter and honey, or split open and topped with delicious sausage gravy, or for dinner on top of chicken gravy - the possibilities are endless. These Buttermilk Biscuits are light and flaky and dense at ...
I immediately feel in love with this overnight sausage bake. This breakfast recipe is absolutely delicious, savory, and casserole dish for the perfect morning breakfast! I have made overnight breakfast casseroles before, but I love the few tweaks in hers - the croutons are the perfect bread to soak up all that eggy goodness, and the ...
The French know their desserts, and pot de crème is no exception. It's basically creme brulee without the sugar crust. This pudding is so rich and chocolatey, it's literally like the best chocolate pudding you'll ever have. There's something about chocolate and coffee together that works so well. The coffee manages to bump up ...
This Greek lemon chicken soup recipe is my interpretation of a traditional Avgolemono and it’s one of my all time favorite things to eat. The chicken and rice makes it super hearty, and the lemon gives it such a delicious tangy flavor which I love. If you’re a big frequenter of diners (as I am) then you are most likely familiar with it, it’s very ...
Pumpkin desserts are one thing, but Pumpkin CHEESECAKE is another. If you love pumpkin you have to try this recipe. It is rich, creamy and the combination is perfect. The pumpkin adds a great flavor, but it doesn't overpower. I decided to do it as a layer cheesecake instead of just all pumpkin, and I really love that you get both flavors as ...
This honey mustard chicken recipe is over the top delicious. It's creamy and tangy, cheesy and crispy perfection. This is so good you won't have to worry about leftovers. You can modify this dish at will, if you don't want the crispy breadcrumb topping just leave it off, and if you don't have provolone, just use swiss, or another easily ...
It's that time of year again where pumpkin rules everything! I love Starbuck's pumpkin bread recipe - it's so light but at the same time so perfectly spiced. I decided to get to work on figuring out how to duplicate their recipe for the home cook and I've hit the jackpot with this bread. It's super easy to throw together, the ingredients ...
I love zucchini and I live for pasta, so why not combine the two! When it's a weeknight and I'm tired from a long day it seems to always be my dinner choice. It's quick and easy, so hearty and filling and SO good. This one is rich and creamy and so simple to make. It's full of zucchini and the chorizo adds so much richness and protein - it's ...
This is by far one of the best chocolate truffle cakes I’ve ever had. I’m obsessed with salted desserts at the moment, and even though salted caramel is all the rage I also am a huge fan of sea salt and dark chocolate. The chocolate in this cake is intense, it’s definitely meant for a true chocolate lover. This cake is super easy ...
So, first of all I have to say this is probably the best dessert I've ever made. I'm not a huge fan of 'traditional' tiramisu, usually the coffee part is too sweet for me. I was at an Italian pizzeria the other evening and they had this as a dessert option, so I tried it and I LOVED it, but (as usual) I thought I could improve the ...
Keeping in my theme of drinking Sangria all summer, I decided to make one with white wine and with more tropical fruit. It's every bit as good as the Traditional Red Sangria I posted last week, it's just a bit more fun and lively. I used mildly sparking white wine in this recipe, very similar to a Portuguese Vinho Verde. ...
I have been living the last few months in Barcelona, and I'm pretty sure I've drunk my weight a few times over in sangria already this summer. There's just something about it - it's light and fruity, not too much alcohol, and it's just so darn easy to drink! Making it at home is super easy and it's also super easy to modify. You ...
This gazpacho is such a great summer soup. It's just sweet enough and the fiery habanero croutons definitely do their job to balance out the flavors. This soup takes no time at all to make and can hold its flavor in the fridge for several days. The sour cream garnish is certainly optional, but I loved the richness it adds to ...
This slow cooker chicken casserole is so easy to make. You literally throw all the ingredients in and then come home to a delicious smelling, wonderful tasting complete meal. The Ritz crackers didn't brown as much as I wanted in the slow cooker, so I took out the removable oven safe part and put it in the broiler for a few minutes ...
