Individual Bread Puddings
Bread pudding is the perfect way to use up leftovers, whether it’s vegetables from last night’s dinner, bacon from yesterday’s breakfast (who has leftover bacon?!), or bits of cheese after that party. The important thing is to have some flavorings like onions, garlic, and herbs along with cheese and eggs to soak into day old … Continue reading
Roasted Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese
We survived the hurricane without any damage beyond getting a little stir-crazy, so I have to feel pretty grateful. We didn’t lose power or have any terrible flooding, but all we could do for days was watch the damage on TV. Of course, one of my first plans of action was to get to work … Continue reading
Olive Oil Poached Bluefish Crostini
Bluefish is a very oily, delicious fish but it sometimes is challenging to cook because it is so strongly flavored. My favorite is smoked bluefish, but until we have a smoker (and a backyard to put it in), I have to find other ways to make it. These crostini are excellent and the pickled salad … Continue reading
Mozzarella in Carrozza
Mozzarella in carrozza is basically an Italian grilled cheese, or the Italian version of a croque monsieur without the ham. There are different variations on it, and it doesn’t usually have tomatoes but I like a little freshness in my sandwich. The cheese makes gooey, delicious strings as you bite into it, and the marinara … Continue reading
Roasted Garlic Crostini
Roasted garlic is so easy and useful in many ways. It can be spread on bread to make a simple crostini, or it can be an ingredient in pizzas, pastas, chicken, vegetables– the list is endless. It makes the garlic taste sweeter and more flavorful, and removes the bitter bite garlic can sometimes have. Roasted … Continue reading
Wild Mushroom Crostini
I love mushrooms. Except for shitakes and button mushrooms. More often than not, I pair them with marsala and thyme or rosemary. They just go so well together and give everything a nice meaty, earthy flavor. Occasionally I treat myself to some beautiful varieties at the farmers market, and this week I got some hen … Continue reading
Grilled Cheese with Bacon Jam and Apples
There’s nothing I like more than a grilled cheese. I like every kind, from the traditional diner cheddar on white bread to the fanciest, wild mushroom truffled grilled cheese. When I saw a recipe for bacon jam, I immediately thought that would make a great grilled cheese– everything’s better with bacon and this jam has … Continue reading
Pappa Al Pomodoro
Pappa al pomodoro is an Italian tomato soup that uses up old bread to thicken it. I usually make it vegetarian, but you can add in some bacon or pancetta if you want something heartier. This was a special request for the blog a long time ago, I just haven’t made it in about … Continue reading
Stuffing and Turkey Roulade
Well, it’s time for the pre-Thanksgiving round-up. After several lovely meals for the holiday, I can say I’m done with turkey until next year. Not including turkey sandwiches or ground turkey. But the whole bird…I’ve had enough for a while. I thought we were getting a de-boned and butterflied turkey breast from the butcher, but … Continue reading
Arancini (Rice Balls)
Arancini are a traditional bar snack in Italy and they are usually made earlier in the day and sit at room temperature on the bar until they are eaten. I usually don’t get around to making them because I rarely have leftover risotto. In fact, for my party I made a whole batch of risotto … Continue reading
