Chicken Pot Pie is a regular visitor at our house especially during the winter months when you need some warm comfort food. However, I have been known to serve piping hot pot pie in the middle of summer if the mood strikes. Recently we’ve had some nice warm spring days here in Virginia but then it turned cold [...]

Yesterday turned out to be the most beautiful Spring day and you could almost palpate the excitement in the air. Flowers have started to bloom and it was mild and warm. You saw people out and about everywhere, smiling, walking, some daring to dress in shorts and flip-flops. Joe and I ventured to Lowe’s and picked up a [...]
Tortellini Soup
Posted in Comfort food, Italien, Lunch, Main course, Quick and Easy, Soup, tagged easy, quick, soup, spinach, tomatos, tortellini on March 7, 2011 | 5 Comments »
I was searching high and low for something to make for dinner when I came across this recipe. It’s a wonderful Tortellini soup that is so quick and easy to make, perfect for when you get home from work and you’re too tired to make anything that requires any complex thinking. The ingredients are simple and you probably already have most of [...]
Beef in Paprika Sauce

The nice thing about living in Virginia is that Spring comes early and fall stays late. Our winter is short and yes we did get a fair amount of snow this year but the snow melted away within a couple of days. And so now that Spring is slowly approaching (we have already had a [...]
Winter Minestrone Soup….with Chicken
Posted in Chicken, Comfort food, Main course, Soup, tagged chicken, minestrone, pancetta, parmesan, soup, stock, winter on January 7, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Chicken does not belong in a good Minestrone soup! yes I know this. But it does add a little more bulk and flavor of course. Besides, I had some left over chicken that was begging me to be put to good use. So the chicken is totally optional here. Leave it out and you’ll have a wonderful [...]
Chili

We actually had a white Christmas this year, as a matter of fact, we had record snow falls here in Virginia. It may not have been as much snow as some of our more Northern neighbors got, but for Virginia this amount of snow has been very unusual. It started snowing on the evening of Christmas [...]
Fusilli Col Buco and Shrimp in Tomato Cream Sauce
Posted in Italien, Main course, Seafood, tagged cream, fusilli, sauce, shrimp, tomato on October 21, 2010 | 5 Comments »
Ok, so I admit it, I’m hooked on Tomato Cream sauces. Ok ok, here is the real truth, I’m hooked on anything tomato. Tomato sandwiches, tomato soup, tomato sauces or just a plain tomato with salt and pepper, yum. I think maybe Joe (my husband) is getting a little tired of my love affair with tomatoes, [...]
Chicken Scallopine with Basil and Fontina Cheese
Posted in Chicken, Italien, Main course, tagged cheese, chicken, chicken scallopine, danish cheese, fontina, sauce, tomato on September 27, 2010 | 6 Comments »
I have made this Chicken Scallopine many times before and it is absolutely lovely. The Fontina cheese is what really makes this dish. I like to use a Danish Fontina which is mild, sweet and nutty. It is also a very soft cheese so it can be a bit challenging to shred. Try placing the cheese in the [...]
Roasted Tomato Basil Soup
Posted in Appetizers, Comfort food, Lunch, Main course, Soup, tagged basil, roasted tomatoes, soup, tomato on September 13, 2010 | 17 Comments »
If you read my blog on a regular basis you’ll know that I am a bit of a tomato freak. So it makes sense that tomato soup is one of my favorite types of soup. In my humble opinion, there is nothing more soothing than a bowl of warm and slightly peppery tomato soup served with a slice of [...]
Shrimp Scampi
Posted in Main course, Seafood, tagged angle hair pasta, pasta, seafood, shrimp, shrimp scampi on August 9, 2010 | 18 Comments »
Shrimp Scampi is elegant, intensely flavored and surprisingly easy to make. It seems like a complicated dish because it’s usually something you would choose to order at a nice restaurant and not something you would think of to make at home. And the shrimp and pasta does not have to swim in butter like some places like [...]
