He said, “Jenn this is the best sauce I’ve ever had in my life… and I’m Italian” hence we named it so. Sauces are definitely something at this point I don’t really think about… they just happen and evolve.

thanksgiving roll back- the bird, glaze and gravy – from scratch
Getting Bird Ready I’ve been waiting to post this one for so long! And by far it’s one of those moments in the kitchen I will never forget. One because my mom was in town to spend some quality time with me. Being the oldest of five kids alone time with mom is always special, and…
what to do to not waste and enjoy your veggies- hot and sour crockpot soup
When I thought about this post it was inspired by a few things. First, I confess, I have a major issue of buying too much food. Think it’s the history of being in a family of 7 (5 kids)… I don’t know how to think to buy for less than a family of 4, so…
Holy fish! Caribbean cayenne mahi and lemon almond kale
A game play delay resulted in a dinner unexpected a few days later… Planning to cook on a Friday when last minute plan changes came up, resulted in prepping the fish and then letting it sit for a few days. Mahi was prepared with olive oil and topped with a blend of “magical” Caribbean spice…
Pistachio chicken warms the heart….dinner without a plan
I’m really behind on my blogging here, but I’ve been super busy. As I’m cooking I’m capturing photos, but not remembering a lot of the details but here’s what I can remember and it’s totally worth whatever I can remember because it was yummy! That phrase a picture is worth a thousand words is my…
Summer BBQ’s beckon some spice. Cornbread that will have you craving for another slice…
Wow it’s been awhile since I’ve posted on here… so while I am collecting ideas on my next postings, this one was easy enough to do. Since my last posting I got a new job at a company I love and did some traveling to Florida, UK and Germany (for the first time). Sadly I…
mayo-less egg salad with sundried tomatoes and olives
I’m going on a trip and that means I haven’t grocery shopped for a few weeks. That also means the fridge is getting into a desperate state. As non-waster, that also means that whatever is left is going to be eaten before my trip, or it’s heading to the trash. Egg salad. I love it…
One can of pineapple transforms- pizza that sizzles and dessert that satisfies
I love pizza. There I said it. I admit it. I could eat it often. But I don’t because well we all know the reasons why- it’s not healthy or good for you to do that. And I’ve rarely like “order-in” pizza- with the exception of Paxties in SF- but that’s expensive and takes a…
Stuffed bell pepper trio with ground turkey, black rice, cilantro and bourbon
Yep that’s true. Whiskey in my stuffed peppers. Now being from the midwest, stuffed peppers is something I definitely recall growing up with. And it was considered a special dish, because, well, it took some time to make that dish happen. I’ve made stuffed peppers before and like to mix it up and try new…
Tabbouleh – chop chop chop
Freshness is key: lemon juice, parsley, mint, tomatoes, onion, pepper (I love pops of color), garlic, olive oil, s/p and of course couscous. I used combo of wheat and regular. Tiny chops are important and parsley tops only for best results (I have a chopper that makes this easier). Play with olive oil garlic and…
