I’ve talked before about how much I love breakfast for dinner. Sometimes, there’s just nothing more comforting than a large stack of pancakes or French toast and sausage.

I love Italian food. Spaghetti, gnocchi, chicken parmigiana, they’re all delicious. But my absolute favorite Italian dish has got to be risotto. I love the creaminess, the rich flavor, and if you add a protein like chicken or meat balls you have a completely delicious dinner. There’s only one problem with risotto; it’s rare that… Continue reading Broccoli Rabe Risotto

It’s not only a chance to celebrate the end of the weekly ceremony, it also gives my boys the opportunity to get together… Continue reading Bok Choy Salad
