Roasted Tomato and Poblano Salsa
We have an abundance of tomatoes right from our garden. They’ve provided a great amount of homemade sauce and tomato jam; not to mention their juicy goodness on a salad. Another great option to add to this list is salsa. Instead of just chopping it up and putting it in the blender I went ahead and roasted my ingredients….
Sweet corn ice cream
It’s been so hot here in Philadelphia lately. All we have been craving is something cold. I love making homemade ice cream, but I currently do not have an ice cream maker, so it takes a little longer to make. This recipe will take up to 8-24 hours to set nice and firm, but it’s totally…
Loaded Baked Potato Salad
I’m not sure about you but we have lots of BBQ parties to go to this summer; including some of our own. A staple at a lot of BBQs are potato salads. Some people have recipes that have been passed down and some are very traditional. For this potato salad I wanted to turn it…

No Bake Mascarpone cheesecake in a cup
This is the perfect quick fix if you’re craving a delicious piece of cheesecake. I love a no bake dessert because it’s super simple clean up and a no waiting game. This particular one is perfect for entertaining as well because they are individual servings. In a traditional cheesecake of course you use cream cheese…
Superb pizza
Pizza is so versatile. You can let your imagination run wild when creating. Coming up with this combination was pretty easy. I have been obsessed with fennel lately, so I added it as a topping. I could have eaten this whole pie by myself but I decided to share it with the hubby (haha). The…
Parmesan crusted potato wedges
Potato wedges are a perfect side to any dinner dish. Instead of frying my potatoes I went ahead and baked them. But before placing these wedges in the oven I dipped them in Parmesan cheese, yes cheese. I hope you give these a try they will not disappoint. Ingredients: 3 large potatoes, cut into wedges …
Italian Cioppino Soup
It’s officially winter, and soup is in full effect in our house. I grew up with my dad making soups all the time, and this was one of them. It’s called cioppino, an Italian American seafood soup or stew. It’s a one pot delight. Enjoy and hope your keeping warm. Ingredients: 1 lb cod, cut…
Thai carrot noodles
If you enjoy Thai peanut noodles you will love this dish. The crazy part about it is it doesn’t have noodles at all, but it’s substituted by carrots sliced really thin or by using a spiralizer. This is a super easy dish to make and enjoy. My kids loved it too. Ingredients: 4 carrots, cut…
Bite Size Peach Panini
Panini sandwiches are always fun to create; from to sweet to salty or in this case both. Peaches are in full bloom right now and are one of my favorite fruits. I wanted to highlight them in this recipe giving it the perfect combination of sweet and salty. Once you take a bite into this panini your mouth…
