It’s the beginning of a crazy week from traveling to cooking. I wanted to share this awesome play called No Reservations coming to Skybox at The Adrienne Theater in Philadelphia, PA. from New York Times best-selling humorist Josh Piven.

Gnudi Delights
This is the perfect starter to a dinner party. With the holidays upon us we all need ideas on what to serve to keep our guests satisfied until dinner. Gnudi is perfect with a great tomato sauce or with this recipe where I made an earthy mushroom sauce. You may also enjoy this as your…
Parsnip Puree
Move over mashed potatoes, parsnips are here. Some people are really scared to try different things; especially something like parsnips. Parsnips are in the carrot family. They have a sweet mild taste to them. I went ahead and roasted them with some garlic and shallots, but I wanted to do more with them. So I…
“Pass the Prosciutto- Scallops on Endive”
SPONSORED POST In our house we are big fans of Prosciutto. I love-making different things with prosciutto for appetizers around the holidays. I figured I could bring you something gluten free. This little treat is full of flavor, and it will keep your guests wanting more. Prosciutto di Parma is celebrating its 50th anniversary so I think they…
Braciole with Duck Bacon
I was recently sent duck products by Maple Leaf farms. One of the products that I was looking forward to trying was duck bacon. I haven’t made Braciole in forever. My dad use to make it all the time growing up but he use to make little ones. I figured this would be a perfect dish to…

Pumpkin and Red Lentil Soup
Not sure about you, but we just finished carving our pumpkins this past weekend. I always tell people don’t get rid of the good stuff, meaning the guts and seeds. With the seeds you can roast them with a little olive oil and sea salt. They are such a delicious snack. The guts can be made…

Let me make flourless cake filled with raspberries, and another with peanut butter. The combinations are outstanding each with a different taste. The raspberries bring…

Pumpkin Whoopie Pie
The weather here in Philadelphia the last couple of days doesn’t really feel like Fall. Mother nature needs to get with it. Anyway I am ready for comfort food. Filling the house with warmth and delicious baking and soups. I started by making out some pumpkin cookies, but it just looked so boring (haha). So I…
