Baked Orecchiette with Pork Sugo

Slow Cooked Baked Pasta

Don't be put off with the time it takes to prep and cook this masterpiece. A lighter pasta with less cheese that makes a great heartwarming meal around the fireplace.

Savory Pilaf Rice with Brussel Sprouts Leaves, Mushrooms, Shallots, and Pine Nuts

Change Home Cooking Life With Pilaf

Pilaf rice will change your life if you've not discovered it before. Elevates any protein or seafood dish, and perfect if you are vegetarian. There are so many ways to make spicy, savory, and sweet variations of this dish.


If you are not familiar with pilaf, the rice and liquid measurement is exact, it goes into a pot, then in the oven for 20-25 mins. Great way to free up your stove and ignore while focusing on the other dishes.

Chicken Florentine Pasta

Quick, easy flavorsome pasta dish

A versatile pasta dish, that is easy to adapt to the number of people you are feeding. If you are looking to sneak in extra vegetables, add mushrooms, zucchini, and/or eggplant. For a creamy version, add a cup of heavy cream. The boyfriend just declared it as his favorite.

Spinach & Ricotta Gnocchi with Tomato Beurre Blanc Sauce

Rich, and filling

This recipe I reserve for dinner parties, and do everything possible to prepare well in advance. Delightful different take on gnocchi. It's been quite a while since I've made this, so a new picture will be coming soon.

Mike's Favorite Shrimp Scampi

Super fast and exceptionally delish

I love this recipe as it's a hit the easy button for me - Ready in 25 mins total from start to finish! Take note, prep everything in advance and the cooking process will be ridiculously smooth. Now, my recipe is different to most out there as I double ingredients to infuse the pasta with the liquid sauce. This takes the recipe to a whole new level. 

​

I named this after Mike, a newer friend that we are really glad to add to our friend group and his sweet wife, Michelle. I often name the recipe after someone who really loved the recipe and allowed me to share my joy of cooking. 

Caramelized Leeks with Mushroom and Gruyere Linguine

A Delicious Gem!

I made this for the first time this past weekend and I cannot say enough about this fabulous dish. A great vegetarian dish or add meat. This will no doubt become a personal favorite. 

Chilean Sea Bass with Pesto Tomato Sauce & Pearl Cous Cous

Another fast & fabulously tasty meal!

I think this one is even a dinner party solid go-to. Sea Bass could be switched out for Cod, Barramundi, Halibut or Dhu fish. I cannot emphasize enough how this recipe is such a change up to the meat and potatoes type dishes. Incredible and low fat! 

 

A better photo is coming as this is another dish I do and doesn't show the pesto tomato sauce accurately or kale in the cous cous.. Unfortunately, when you plate, take the photo and don't realize until later that your camera fogged up.
