Being Brazilian, one of my favorite desserts is Pudim (Flan). This isn’t your typical flan that you buy at the store or if you have had the Mexican version it doesn’t taste like that either. Brazilian is a little more creamy with the great sweetness of Condensed Milk (which in Brazil we use alot of in our desserts). It’s one of…

Salmon Cakes with Arugula
I love me some Salmon and I think turning them into cakes with some red bell peppers makes for a great starter or as a meal. Topping any salad with a Salmon Cake just makes it that much better and healthier. Here I used Arugula Salad with my favorite dressing which is fresh diced garlic, olive…
Gruyere Grits with Pork Chops
Grits in my opinion are over looked by a lot of people. Its such a great ingredient to cook with and get creative. The other night I decided to make some grits with Gruyere cheese topped with a nice golden pork chop and garnished with diced apples. This combo I think has been one of…
Chicken Nachos
Not sure about you, but I’m a big fan of Mexican food. I love cooking it and eating it. My kids especially are obsessed with Tacos or Nachos. So I have to change them up once in a while. The other night I just wanted something easy and somewhat light to put together to eat. I…
Harvest Delish Pie
My husband did some pumpkin carving over the weekend with our kids. We always roast our pumpkin seeds and this year we made two batches. One was the typical salted seeds, but our new addition was to make some sweet ones with cinnamon and sugar. It’s just another way to utilize the whole pumpkin without wasting some of its…
Stuffed Chicken Pocket with Leeks
Tonight I was in the mood for something small but filling. I sat and thought about how I wanted some crescent rolls and something with chicken. well I put the 2 together. I have done a similar Salmon pocket before, but this time around I decided I would make it with chicken. Simple all you do…
Pumpkin Risotto and Stuffed Veal
I had my family over this past weekend and I decided to make a fall themed dinner. I made some pumpkin risotto and veal stuffed with pancetta and gorgonzola cheese with some sautéed garlic asparagus. This risotto was filled with flavors of pumpkin. I know it sounds weird but it’s totally worth trying out especially this time of year. As…
Garlic Chicken Salad
This salad is great as a starter to a meal or on its own. Simple but yet satisfying with lots of great flavor. Dip chicken into some whole wheat flour and on to a skillet, then cook up until it has a nice golden brown color. I make my own dressing with fresh garlic, salt, pepper…
Yummy Chili
It’s that time of year. Where the weather starts to change and get cooler. I know in my family we love to have some hot comfort food. Last night I made a pot of Chili. The flavors and spices really took the mouth on a roller coaster ride. I mixed some Black and Red kidney beans. You can add…

Homemade Beer Bread
I know some of you may have tried the Tastefully simple beer bread, and I will not lie the taste is amazing and super easy to make. But spending over 5 bucks for a small loaf of bread starts to get expensive when you want something different. So why not just make it from scratch at…
Pot Roast with Gnocchi and Sundried Tomatoes
I’m in love with a nice pot roast. My family has always prepared an amazing pot roast. It took me a while to get it down pat. But practice makes perfect. I have picked up some tricks from them with making it. Start by picking out a great cut of meat like bottom round, or chuck. …
