When I was a kid, I loved store-bought salad dressings and, admittedly, I was a bit of a dressing snob. Wish-Bone was the only brand I liked…Italian, Thousand Island and those two sugary red dressings, French and Russian, that I could never really figure out the difference. Thinking about it, they don’t really seem French…
Meal Type
Homemade Shallot Vinaigrette
Is it wrong that I consider myself a Salad Dressing Connoisseur? I know, it’s probably weird to be a self-proclaimed expert on Salad Dressing of all things. But, I don’t know if you’ve heard, my salad dressings are kinda a big deal. Haha! I’m totally kidding but, in all honesty, when people try them, I…

Tiny Kitchen Keto Month:Keto Pizza with aGluten-Free Cauliflower Crust
To say that pizza was a staple in my house growing up would be an understatement. After all, we’re Italian…we have pizza at least 17 times a week, right!?!

Classic French Mussels
Mussels have a sweet spot in my heart. From the first time I had them in Paris with my buddy Kross, I was not prepared for my lifelong love of these humble bivalve mollusks. The funny thing is that I had them by happenstance when I was in France. I was traveling there after my…

Chocolate Truffles
It’s the holiday season! Well, it’s November 27th and, frankly, that’s good enough for me.

(Thank you Hallmark Channel for starting Christmas on October 26th and fitting perfectly…
