Food, Wine, Family. Fun!

My air fryer has been getting a lot of use with my new way of eating. I've been making air fried chicken tenders (so good!) and experimenting with veggies. I've been wanting to make air fried raviolis and whipped together a batch of them for my kiddos and husband. It was a great way to… Continue reading Air Fried Ravioli
I love pasta ... my family, not so much. As we continue eating at home, I was looking for recipe to use a block of sweet Italian sausage I had for awhile in the freezer.

There's nothing more I love than a bowl of meatballs and pasta. I don't make it near as often as I'd like - trying to not eat pasta all the time and my husband is not a big fan of spaghetti. I know ... his Italian grandmother would not be happy!! These meatballs were moist… Continue reading Beef and Ricotta Meatballs
We're coming out of the Polar Vortex and I'm so glad I made this dish earlier in the week. It was the perfect thing for leftovers. I also love that it's made in a slow cooker ... throw it all into one pot and let it do it's thing while cooking. All this cold weather… Continue reading Beef Ragu over Papparedelle
My son loves soup and has been asking me to make it for him. Most of the soups I make are in the fall and winter, and wouldn't work for a hot summer night. I found this recipe for a light and brothy soup - perfect for summer! It's a full of delicious fresh veggies… Continue reading Minestrone Verde
I'm working on getting back to blogging regularly now that the spring sports season is coming to an end. There were only a few days in all of April and May that we didn't have something going on which led me to make quick and easy dinners to get us to practices or games. I'm… Continue reading Pasta with Tomatoes and Roasted Red Peppers
