Meatball Beef & Broccoli
Meatball Beef & Broccoli. When I decided to share a different meatball recipe for the month of March I needed to enlist my loved ones for some recipe inspiration. For Nick, we would transform his favorite Beef & Broccoli in a meatball meal. The results were out of this world!

Vietnamese Banh Mi Chicken Sandwich
Recreating a Vietnamese Banh Mi Chicken Sandwich was long over due. My kid first introduced me to Vietnamese fare. Pho. Coffee. Bakeries. And Banh Mi. Each worthy of their own post. Our Vietnamese Beef Pho post continues to be one of my favorites. Vietnamese Iced Coffee was incorporated into a great day spent with one of my favorite peeps, as we explored various iced coffees.

Chicken Marsala Meatballs for National Meatball Day!
We shall make Chicken Marsala Meatballs. Because TODAY is National Meatball Day! With the way I love meatballs, this food holiday is deserving of a celebration. A Meatball Palooza if you will. I have so many meatball recipes to share (and several I’ve yet to create) that we’ll need days to properly honor those perfectly packaged bundles of love. I shall call this celebration March Meatball Madness and share a meatball recipe every day for the remainder of the month.

Malfatti {Spinach & Ricotta Dumplings}
Continuing on my classic Italian recipe exploration I discovered Malfatti, a true Italian comfort food. These spinach and ricotta ‘dumplings’ are soft and tender and practically melt in your mouth.

Sausage & Mushroom Ragù
Sausage & Mushroom Ragù. This dish is incredibly satisfying. The mild Italian ground sausage is slow cooked with mushrooms, red wine and aromatics until the flavors melt together like your favorite comfort food.

National Chili Day Recipe Roundup
February 25th is National Chili Day and that means a recipe roundup is in order! Right smack in the middle of Winter, just when cabin fever is getting real and we’re all longing for spring. It’s the perfect chance to break out a new Chili recipe to excite your taste buds. The Chili Police could have great fun with this recipe roundup and argue that none of these recipes are indeed Chili. For the purpose of conveying a collection of soups/stews that are seasoned with aromatics and spices most akin to Chili – we’re going to roll with it.

Pasta alla Norma {Eggplant Pasta}
Pasta alla Norma is an Italian pasta and eggplant dish with roots in the ancient port city of Catania, Sicily. My husband’s ancestors also have roots in Catania! Lucky for me it’s where we visited on a dream vacation a few years back.

Crab Stuffed Flounder {with Peri Peri Cream Sauce}
We shall have Crab Stuffed Flounder {with Peri Peri Cream Sauce}. I’m forever running to the grocery store to pick up a few last minute ingredients that inevitably turn into a buggy full. You know this drill. Other than to enforce an Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry Week (which we do out of necessity every other month or so) I can’t seem to break this.

Mu Shu Chicken Cabbage Rolls
Mu Shu Chicken Cabbage Rolls. Chinese New Year is always an ‘event’ for me. My passion for this holiday stems from what used to be my day job, which was…importing door locks. Hold on, don’t run away so fast.

Vegetarian Black Bean Chili
Vegetarian Black Bean Chili begins like many of our soup and chili recipes….with a medley of carrots, onions and celery. But that’s just the beginning of this flavor journey.
