This seems to be the summer vegetable whether it’s the star of a recipe, an ingredient in pasta, salads, or in savory and sweet dishes. I just happen to love zucchini and enjoy using it so many different ways so I … Continue reading
I just loved this recipe – my second attempt at cooking gnocchi. It was perfect for a 90+ degree light dinner. Awhile ago I made a recipe using gnocchi and it turned out terrible. This happens occasionally but I had never cooked with gnocchi before so it was a little disappointing; I actually threw it … Continue reading

With cheese and bread readily available it is a staple in many American households, mine included. Of course this sandwich can be “kicked up” with condiments such as bacon, … Continue reading

I made a point of saving 4 cups of turkey from Thanksgiving so I could make this Indian/British recipe.
