Yes, it’s another Italian cocktail to commemorate my recent trip to Italy. But unlike last week’s spritz, this drink is definitely on the more bitter side. So, for all you Campari lovers out there, this one’s for you. Unlike my husband (and so many other people I know) I am not a Campari fan. It’s… Continue reading Milano Torino Cocktail

Limoncello Spritz
If you follow my Instagram, you know I recently got back from Italy. There was beautiful scenery, plenty of museums, amazing architecture and of course tons and tons of delicious food and drink! Yes, there was plenty of pasta and bruschetta, but there was also a ton of meat and seafood. While the entreés changed… Continue reading Limoncello Spritz
Gin & It
It’s been a whirlwind month and we’re only through the 2nd week of May! May’s always been a busy month for me. Between all my boys’ birthdays (there are 3!), Mother’s Day, 2 anniversaries (mine and my parents), it’s always insane trying to schedule everything. But this year’s especially nuts! Last week I was in… Continue reading Gin & It
Lasagna Soup
We’re still smack dab in the middle of National Soup Month and there’s nothing I want more on a bitingly cold day than a big, hot bowl of soup. I’ll take anything from the classic chicken noodle to a hearty vegetable. I especially love it when my soup has stuff in it. Stuff like noodles,… Continue reading Lasagna Soup
Sgroppino
It’s such a strange time right now. We’re all suddenly performing multiple roles; before we were simply stay-at-home mom, bread winner, teacher, or student. Now we’re all four (or more). While trying to balance all those roles, we’re also desperately trying to keep our households fed and find enough toilet paper and paper towel to… Continue reading Sgroppino
Carrot Orzotto
It’s October and here in the South Bay that means cool breezes and chilly temperatures. I’ve even started wearing long pants and pulled out the occasional sweater. When that happens, it’s time to start rethinking dinner options; and some of my favorites are hearty stews and rich pastas. One of my favorite pasta dinners is… Continue reading Carrot Orzotto
A Trip to Oxnard – Dining
I’ve never been to Oxnard before. I’ve driven through it many times on my way to Santa Barbara and the Bay Area, but I’ve never spent any time there before. As far as I knew the only reason to go to Oxnard was to get fresh strawberries. Well, thanks to the Oxnard Visitors Bureau, that… Continue reading A Trip to Oxnard – Dining
Slow Cooker Meatballs
My husband hates meatballs, meat loaf… even super thick hamburgers. He always says they’re too heavy for him, too thick, you get the picture. But the boys and I love meatloaf and meatballs, so I still try and make them occasionally, especially since spaghetti and meatballs are my sons’ favorite. Well, recently I found a… Continue reading Slow Cooker Meatballs
