These potato balls in tomato sauce are so much easier than gnocchi. Yeet, incredibly satisfying! Make them any weeknight or for Sunday dinner.
What’s your favorite rugelach filling? I share four fillings I made last weekend. Nutella is my favorite!
Have you ever cooked a neck of a goat!? I tried and failed. So instead, I made sweet potato & pea ragu. You win some, you lose some.
It’s winter, so it’s a perfect time to make soup. How about Butternut Squash Soup with Chorizo, Kale & Chickpeas? You are going to love it.
Love lamb? What about making lamb pizza? This one has arugula, goat cheese & pepperoncini.
Make this turtle tart for the person you ♥! Trust me, they will appreciate it. Chocolate, pecans, caramel, more chocolate. YUM
Before figs disappear, make sure to make this salad with arugula, goat cheese and pickled onions.
It’s raining, dark and slightly chilly outside. Perfect time to make coconut lentil soup with pickled onions and cilantro. Based on Marc Samuelssons’ blog with a few changes, of course!
it is cool enough where you are to make soup? then make Domenica Marchetti's pasta soup. I added carrots to mine. The whole family will love it.
Spring makes me think of red skinned potatoes, salads and greens. Here’s a recipe I came up with a while ago that screams Spring time: Green Potato Salad With Pesto.
Ingredients
6 red potatoes, cubed
16 ounces green and yellow beans
8 ounces peas
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
prepared pesto, to taste
Directions
1. In a big pot of salted water cook potatoes until almost tender.
2. Add peas and beans to the potatoes and cook for 2 minutes.
3. Drain the vegetables, combine with red onion and pesto.
4. Serve warm.
Variations: My sister Anna suggested adding mustard to the salad. Boiled eggs will go well in this salad too. This salad is perfect for leftovers!
