Homemade Chunky Tomato Pasta Sauce
This is so easy to do that I almost talked myself out of posting this, but I always use my own recipe for tomato sauce in the summer when I have tons of fresh tomatoes available.

Roasted Beet and Tomato Salad
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” – Leonardo da Vinci. This salad is just that. Simply sophisticated! It’s a work of art with simple ingredients: beets, tomatoes, arugula, mozzarella, and balsamic. Together they will excite your taste buds and sculpture your body. Okay, that last line was a bit cheesy, but I was trying to go … Continue reading Roasted Beet and Tomato Salad
Grilled Corn in Creamy Sriracha Sauce
Grilled Corn in Creamy Sriracha Sauce was inspired by a side of corn I ordered last week at The Little Owl in West Village, New York. And to think we almost passed this dish by. James had their delicious, highly recommended sliders in a spicy tomato sauce, and I had the best Eggplant Parmesan I … Continue reading Grilled Corn in Creamy Sriracha Sauce
Grilled Portobella with Basil, Tomatoes, and Goat Cheese
Here they are Mitch! Mitch is a really good friend of mine from Louisiana, and he loves these mushrooms. It was his request that reminded me to post them to my blog; however, I would have eventually remembered to share them because they are mouth-watering delicious!
Eggplant Parmigiana Made Easy
There are three things I love about this eggplant parmigiana recipe: delicious, easy, and healthy (OK, healthier). There is no dipping the eggplant into egg whites to bread it, and there is no frying. Any type of breading like that is always a messy process for me. It takes forever! This recipe is much … Continue reading Eggplant Parmigiana Made Easy
Homemade Manicotti Pasta
The deliciousness of this recipe comes from the homemade manicotti pasta I learned to make in the village of Sant’ Ambrogio, Sicily. I’m calling these crepe-like pasta manicotti, but they’re not actually called manicotti in Italy. Some Americans may also call them cannelloni, but the Sicilian cook called them crespelle. Call them whatever you like, … Continue reading Homemade Manicotti Pasta

This healthy dish is our favorite comfort food on cold days. Absolutely delicious! Gather some spice and fresh vegetables and get started … Continue reading Veggie Chili
The Best Black Bean Burger Around
When Daddy says it’s better than a ground beef patty, it’s got to be good. Daddy, the barely-living heart patient, is definitely a dedicated carnivore who listens to no one when it comes to modifying his diet. But, I keep trying. What can I say? I am a hard-headed, persistent, never-give-up kind of gal. I … Continue reading The Best Black Bean Burger Around
Vegetarian White Chili
There’s a chill in the air and chili in my pot. I love making chili because it’s such an easy meal that can be packed with nutritious vegetables and protein without adding an ounce of meat. My carnivores never complain because my vegetarian versions taste better than any pot of meat chili they’ve ever eaten.
Sicilian Caponata
Yesterday I received two beautiful eggplants from a dear friend’s garden. It will probably be the last fresh eggplants of summer so I thought I’d better make the best of them. When I think of eggplants lately (I’m sure you’re tired of hearing me say this), I think of Italy, especially Sicilia or as you … Continue reading Sicilian Caponata
