Agnello in Crosta {Lamb wrapped in Pastry Dough}
Are you looking to add a little fancy schmancy to your cooking repertoire? And by fancy schmancy I mean looking like you’ve slaved in the kitchen all afternoon to prepare a gourmet meal ; ) But DIDN’T.. Well I have a dish for you ; ) And it’s just in time for Valentine’s Day…
Maccheroni alla Ricotta {Macaroni with Ricotta}
How about a pasta dish that you can make with just THREE ingredients? How about a pasta dish you can make in under TEN minutes? Now that is my kind of math 3 ingredients plus 10 minutes ; ) I thought you might like that too!
Bistecche Piccanti {Spicy Steak}
Sometimes I just want a piece of steak. I’m going to tell you a little secret though, I’m not the best grill master in the world. GASP. There I said it, whew. I feel better. So the idea of going outside and firing up the grill pretty much isn’t high on my list. What do I do in those cases? Wait for Mr. Bell’alimento to come home to grill. He is the grill master in our casa. And I’m okay with that ; )
Nutella Milk
Got milk? Got Nutella Milk, you can now ; ) This is a great way to use up the last bit of Nutella from your jar. There is NO wasting of Nutella in our house, otherwise you risk getting your hand slapped {just kidding, well kind of LOL}
Nutella filled Cinnamon Rolls drizzled with Cherry Glaze
These are pure evil. Don’t say I didn’t warn you ; ) If you’re on any kind of diet, please I implore you, click away now. Save yourselves from these Nutella filled Cinnamon Rolls drizzled with cherry glaze. They look so innocent, but they’re NOT ; ) They are soft, pillowy homemade cinnamon rolls, oozing with a bubbly warm Nutella center and capped with a beautiful blush colored beanie of cherry glaze. Yep, put a fork in it, I’m done! It’s useless for me to even try to resist their charms.
Crema di Gamberi {Shrimp Bisque}
Soup has a way of warming your hands, toes and heart. My heart is always a little warmer when that soup happens to be a bisque. A creamy dreamy bowl of goodness.
Torta dolce di Zucca {Sweet Squash Pie}
Yes, you read right. That is indeed a sweet squash pie. Ain’t she a beauty ; ) She’s not just a pretty face. Oh no! She’ll knock your socks off with her complex deep flavors. A buttery, flaky crust filled with honey bathed squash, surrounded by a custard like blanket. I’ll let that settle in for a minute ; )
Conchigliette con Piselli {Small Shells with Peas}
I never ever get tired of eating pasta. EVER. First of all, there are so many different varieties of pastas: long, short, homemade, flavored. And then you have an insane amount of different shapes of pastas, which of course have diverse textures. And then you figure in the sauce choices….exhale…well boredom is simply not possible ; ) The combination of possibilities are mind boggling. Mind boggling! And I LOVE that about pasta dishes!
Crostata di Porri {Savory Leek Pie}
You’ve probably seen Leeks in the produce section of your grocery. If you’re not familiar with them, they’re similar to an onion, a cousin of the onion if you will ; ) They’re quite fragrant and produce beautiful rings when sliced. They have a much milder taste that onions and an added benefit don’t make me cry when I’m cutting them ; )
Lenticchie e Lonza {Lentils and Bacon}
Beans and bacon. A perfect marriage right ; ) Although Lenticchie e Lonza sounds so much more fancy schmancy this is just a down home stick to your ribs warm up from head to toe big pot of comfort food.
Nodini al Pomodoro {Veal Chops in Tomato Sauce}
Veal chops make my mouth water. Perhaps it’s just hearing the word “chops” which makes me want to lick my lips. Or perhaps it’s the oh so tender veal. Chissa {who knows} but what I do know is that Nodini al Pomodoro {veal chops in tomato sauce} is a dish that tantalizes my taste buds…
Carote con Funghi {Carrots and Mushrooms}
Happy New Year! Was one of your resolutions to eat more Veggies? Well this year I tried not to make any resolutions but adding more vegetables to your diet is always a good idea. Besides, when they’re bright and happy like this carrot and mushroom dish, they’re hard to resist!
