Adventures in Cooking

Mini Biscuit Chicken Pot Pies

These mini pot pies were so fun and delicious! Made with Pillsbury Grand’s biscuits and filled with creamy chicken pot pie filling, then baked until golden brown and topped with fresh parsley.

Crispy Chicken Mac & Cheese

My son loves mac and cheese (like every other kid), but my husband is not a fan. However, he‘s definitely a fan of the crispy chicken and casseroles, so this is my loophole to keep everyone happy. So comforting and delicious!

Creamy Pumpkin Gnocchi and Sausage

This is such a rich and delicious dish for fall, made with pumpkin gnocchi that I got from Trader Joe’s served in a creamy pumpkin sauce and topped with chicken apple sausage and fresh sage.

Tortilla Soup

Tortilla soup has always been a staple in my house. The ingredients are usually ones that I already have in the house, making it the perfect easy, family friendly weeknight dinner.

Peanut Noodles with Crispy Baked Tofu

These peanut noodles are made with a delicious from scratch peanut sauce with sautéed onions and red bell peppers served over rice noodles and crispy baked tofu, topped with fresh cilantro, peanuts and a lime wedge.

Cheddar Bay Biscuit Pot Pie

I am obsessed with the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits and it seemed like a great idea use as the topping for a pot pie. I made a classic chicken pot pie filling for this, baked with the biscuit topping, then finished with the seasoned butter that comes with the biscuit mix and fresh parsley.

BBQ Bacon Meatball Sub

These meatball subs are giving western bacon cheeseburger vibes with delicious meatballs served on a toasted roll with bbq sauce, white cheddar, bacon crumbles, crispy onion and fresh parsley. So delish!

Chili Crisp Shrimp Alfredo

Fly by Jing Chili Crisp Oil is definitely one of my favorite condiments, so I’m always trying to come up with new recipes that I can incorporate it into. These shrimp are cooked in a cast iron skillet, then toss in the chili crisp oil, served over fettuccine alfredo and topped with chives.

Crispy Smashed Potatoes with a Garlic Herb Oil

These crispy smashed potatoes are a great easy side that would be delicious with pretty much any protein. The garlic herb oil made with parsley, chives and lemon really adds a punch of flavor and brightness.

Cajun Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Joes are one of the easiest weeknight dinner meals that the whole family will enjoy, so I thought this spicier Cajun version would be fun mix up of this classic dish. Made the Cajun holy trinity (onions, green bell pepper and celery) and Cajun seasoning.

Chipotle Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

These delicious baked sweet potatoes are stuffed with chipotle marinated chicken breast, fresh corn, and pepper jack cheese, baked again, then topped with a chipotle crema, pickled red onion, fresh jalapeño and cilantro.

Chicken Curry Pot Pie

Fall is upon us and I love making a cozy casserole. My son loves a curry, so I thought this would make a great pot pie. It has onion, bell pepper, garlic, ginger, potatoes, chicken, and peas in a red coconut curry baked with a puff pastry and topped with fresh cilantro.

Welcome to My kitchen

About me

I was born and raised in Los Angeles in an Italian family that centered every gathering around cooking and food. My dad taught me how to cook when I was little and we would spend a lot of time together in the kitchen. He passed away when I was 21 and I took over as the cook of the family. Right before the pandemic, I retired from an 18 year career as a hairstylist in the entertainment industry to follow my dreams of teaching people how to cook and appreciate food.
