Stuffed Artichokes
I was walking with a friend last week and out of the blue… ‘stuffed artichokes’ to which I emphatically replied ‘yes’ love them. Then I couldn’t get them off my mind. Are you an artichoke fan? Steamed, then pull their lushes pedals off one by one and dunk them in butter or better yet a mayo/mustard dip?? Are you with me?

Braciola {Italian Beef Rolls}
Braciole {Italian Beef Rolls} slowly simmered in spicy Arrabbiata sauce until the beef is fork tender. The filling, comprised of parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, Italian bread crumbs, garlic, toasted pine nuts, and hard-boiled egg, is my loose interpretation of this classic Italian dish.

Baked Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
I had this vision of presenting a big bowl of Cream of Tomato Soup with Basil Pesto & a side of Mozzarella Dunkers aka Baked Mozzarella Cheese Sticks. You know the scene, a gorgeous bowl of tomato soup with a side grilled cheese sandwich. One glimpse and you’re committed. The epitomy of comfort.

Chicken Piccata {over Angel Hair Pasta}
Besides how delicious this Chicken Piccata recipe is, it also comes together quickly from ingredients likely already in your fridge/pantry. That qualifies this as a great week night meal.

Arancini {with Basil Pesto & Marinara Sauce}
Arancini {with Basil Pesto & Marinara Sauce} I was the girl who grew up eating my spaghetti with butter and parmesan cheese. No red sauce for this kid. I even scraped the sauce off pizza before eating it. Over time I fell in love with Alfredo Sauce but still avoided tomato based sauces for the most part. It was all about white sauce in our home, with lasagna and occasionally meatballs being an exception. This all changed on Christmas Day.
