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.
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.
My husband is obsessed with breakfast burritos, so I’m always trying to come up with different kinds. This one is inspired by a Denver omelette with ham steak, green bell peppers, and yellow onion scramble then put in a flour tortilla with sharp cheddar and crispy fries.
This breakfast casserole is such an easy recipe that the whole family will love. It’s made with frozen hash brown patties, eggs whisked with milk and spices, sharp cheddar cheese, bacon and fresh parsley.
I love blue cheese so much, but unfortunately my husband does not. So when he goes out of town, I always make dishes that feature this stinky cheese. This burger patty is made with shallot and blue cheese, cooked in bacon fat, then served on a brioche bun with more blue cheese, bacon and fig butter.
These sliders are so delicious and messy. Just like a burger should be! Made with ground meat, onion and all the flavors of a burger cooked right in, then topped with American cheese, crispy bacon, and a burger sauce, served on buttered and sesame covered King’s Hawaiian Rolls.
I made this super easy pizza for me and my son for dinner last week and he LOVED it!!! It’s made with fig butter and dough from Trader Joe’s and shredded mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula and a balsamic glaze.
I love a healthy vegetarian meal and this one is full of flavor and super filling. The sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts are roasted in Mexican spices, then served on a corn tortilla with black beans, cilantro crema, pickled red onions and cotija.
My son requested baked potatoes for dinner, but I wanted to make something a little different, so I thought nacho loaded potatoes would be fun and I was right. These were so delicious, made with ground taco meat, seasoned black beans, nacho cheese, fresh pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole.
Who doesn’t love a one pan dinner, especially for those family weeknight meals. These lemony chicken meatballs are cooked with orzo with chicken broth and lemon, then finished with heavy cream, spinach, Parmesan, parsley and lemon zest. My whole family loved it!
The fresh corn has been especially good this summer, so I wanted to make a pizza with it. It’s made with mozzarella, fresh corn, burrata, prosciutto, and fresh basil. Such a great summer dinner!
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.
I would love to hear from you!
