I seem to be on a seafood/fish kick since the beginning of 2021. Here is another one to add to your list! I adapted this from a recipe by Giada De Laurentiis. I first started making it when our oldest son, Ian, was a cross country runner in high school. […]

Killer Shrimp
There is a restaurant in Santa Monica called Killer Shrimp that Rob talked about for years. He always went there when he had a business trip to Los Angeles. He raved about it! He described the concept of their signature dish and after searching the internet, I found a close […]
Shrimp Scampi
We love this classic Shrimp Scampi. My family loves lots of sauce and lots of lemon, so I have increased the lemon juice and the wine from the original recipe.
Meatballs
We never had spaghetti and meatballs at my house growing up. My Mom had a meat sauce recipe from her Grandmother and that was the staple in our house. Rob grew up with spaghetti and meatballs. I’m pretty sure spaghetti and meatballs is the first meal I ever ate that […]
Milk and Honey Bread

Frittata
A frittata is an Italian baked omelet. This basic recipe is flavored with chopped onion, grated cheese, and a generous sprinkling of herbs. Like the omelet, though, you may add almost anything you like. We almost always add ham, bacon, or sausage. The meat should be cooked before you add […]
