I have been traveling a bit this winter and my adventures have taken me to places where the temperature has dropped to almost single digits. One word: Brrrrrr. Truth be told, though, I love stepping outside the comforts of home and the not-so-chilly 72°F weather we have here in LA in December and January (and…

Pan-Seared Scallops over Pasta in a Lemon-White Wine Sauce
Seared Scallops. Mmmmm….let me just drift off for a bit thinking about Seared Scallops for a moment. I love them so much that they undoubtedly rank on the top of my favorite foods list, in a constant battle for the top spot with Chilean Seabass, steamed Crab legs and that incredible bowl of Mussels I…
Mom’s Vegetable Soup
New Year! New You! Yes, it is one of those cheesy clichés that is associated with every diet commercial and gym membership advertisement out there….so why not a food blog and YouTube Channel. (Haha…literally, as I am writing this, I just got a notification on my phone from the store Target, saying: New year, new…
Orange Cranberry Muffins

How to Make Ricotta Cheese
If you’re anything like I was, you’ve never really thought about making your own cheese. It just seems like one of things that is just too complicated to tackle…and especially in a Tiny Kitchen, it seems even less doable. Ha! That’s what I thought! And truth be told, there are some cheeses that do take…
Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
When I think of Thanksgiving, I think Mashed Potatoes. But it seems over the years, we’ve always have had it the same buttery way. Although, I don’t know if you can count that period in the 90s, during the fat-free craze, that we used fake powdered butter. #Ashamed Aside from that, in the Fucci household,…
Baked Brie
I have always loved cheese. Admittedly, as a kid, I probably liked it too much. I remember going to Pizza Hut and I would always get a salad from the salad bar. How does that relate to cheese, you ask? Well, my Pizza Hut salad consisted of three small leaves of iceberg lettuce, alfalfa sprouts,…
Ina Garten’s Perfect Roast Chicken
Sometimes, certain dishes seem intimidating to make. I think roasted chicken is one of those things. If you’ve never cooked a whole chicken before, you just don’t know where to begin. How do I season it? How long do I cook it? What do I do with the bird when I take it out of…
Red Lobster’s Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Three simple words: Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Translation: Happiness. If you know me, you know that I am a huge crab fan. I love nothing more than crablegs. So, if I’m celebrating a special occasion…or even if I’m not, you take me for crablegs and you will see a permanent smile on my face. Now, if…

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…
Dad’s Award Winning Chili
It’s a little overcast here in LA as I write this and, well, it gives me hope that Fall is in the air. It officially starts this Friday…and it is hands-down my most favorite season of the year. There is something about the cool, crisp air that just elicits great memories for me. Plus, with…
