If you’re like me, you’re a big fan of the traditional Caesar Salad. Sometimes, though, it feels like it gets a bit overdone. So…I was on the hunt for a way to update this ever-popular salad so that it’s new again, while still maintaining that great Caesar Salad satisfaction. Hmmmmm. What to do? What to…

Chicken and Artichokes
My Mom’s Chicken and Artichokes ranks right near the top of my most favorite meals as a kid. As soon as she got out the 1980’s dark brown West Bend Electric Skillet with the cream-colored top, I knew the Fucci family was in store for most likely one of two dishes: Chop Suey or Chicken…
Bruschetta
Tomatoes! Yum! At least that’s how most everyone sees it. I guess I am not most everyone. I know, saying that I don’t like the main ingredient in one of my recipes is not the greatest sales pitch, but I’d rather be honest with you than make you think that I think raw tomatoes are…

Fretalian Onion Soup
My mom is French. My dad is Italian. I am a chaotic mixture of the both and love crossing these cultures in the dishes I create. Meet Fretalian Onion Soup…a progeny of the ever-so-loved French onion soup…made with an Italian twist. Thus…FRE-TALIAN. This is, hands down, one of my most favorite Tiny Kitchen recipes. It…
