What do you make for your uncle whose turning 75 and says “no presents”? You making homemade Loukoumi otherwise known as Turkish Delight. A delicious candy treat that has a softer consistency than taffy but a flavorful fruity flavor – that comes from real fruit, not artificial flavorings. My uncle appreciated the call back to his […]

It’s pumpkin season! Pumpkin lattes! Pumpkin pie! So now it’s time for Pumpkin Bread Pudding. Leftover Italian bread plus a few pantry staples later, and you have a delicious, “go to” dessert. My husband went to the Italian market and, of course, overbought on the Italian bread. I put the extra loaf in the fridge […]

Given store-bought sausage is not very heart-healthy, I modified it by taking the same seasoning base and adding it to low-fat ground turkey meat (or you can use ground chicken).

My husband asked me to lighten up my chicken pot pie recipe so that the carbs were limited. I came up with this slow cooker recipe that I prepped over the weekend. It made my busy week so much easier because at lunch time (while working from home), I was able to throw in the […]

Fresh peaches and a honey-balsamic reduction provide a tasty way to transform the other white meat into a mouth-watering dinner.

Then my aunt asked if I could make a peach pie with my freshly picked peaches. Voila! Leftover pancakes […]

After an afternoon of peach picking, I needed to come up with healthy ways to enjoy all of our peaches. Salsa is a great treat because it is so versatile. It can be a simple, yet delicious condiment to chips. Or it can transform a grilled chicken breast into a satisfying dinner. The choice is […]
This is a delicious vegetarian meal. You can serve it as the main course, serve it over pasta, or serve it as an appetizer as a brushetta-like topping for delicious, crusty Italian bread. I used Sicilian Eggplants, which are smaller, round eggplants that I find have a sweeter flavor than other eggplants. You can use […]
