Sometimes, when I am having a had time coming up with new recipes to make (it’s not that often to be honest because I am lucky enough to be married to a genius) I look to restaurant menus for inspiration. This particular recipe was inspired by the Pasta Da Vinci at The Cheesecake Factory. Now,

Tomato, Lemon and Green Olive Pasta
When Hubby and I were first dating, this sauce was one of the only things he cooked. At that point, he hadn’t done much cooking, yet somehow everything he made was incredible. This included. So not only is this a super tasty recipe, it is one I love just because it reminds me of those

Spring Vegetable Pasta (gluten-free)
I am daydreaming about the day that I drive past the farm, and they have the little sign out front: Our Asparagus Is Here! I will pull in like a stunt driver in an action movie trying to lose their tail, and snatch up 4 bunches (that generally lasts us only a couple days when

Kale Bean and Tomato Pasta
Kale is such a super veggie. It grows in cooler weather, making it available when not much else is, and of course there are all those health benefits. What I am loving about it lately is that I can buy huge bunches of it, remove the stem, and throw it in a bag in the

Vegetarian Spaghetti Carbonara
Do I talk about comfort food a lot? I feel like I do. I feel like I have a problem with talking about: being obsessed with things (because I often get obsessed with stuff, when it’s awesome), exclamation mark usage (I am a chipper person and really love them…!), and comfort food. But I can’t

Vegan Bolognese
You know how some weekends, when it’s chilly outside and cozy inside, you want a big pot of comfort? This is a big pot of comfort. It takes a while to bubble away, which both warms up the kitchen and makes the whole house smell amazing. It takes a bit more time than my usual

Cauliflower Parmesan
Growing up, if I asked my Italian grandmother to pass the sauce, she would correct me that it is not sauce: it is gravy. Then, when hubby and I first started dating, I discovered that he was also raised (by his Italian family) to call tomato sauce gravy. We both ate a lot of Italian

Pumpkin Rigatoni
Something you might not know about me: I am obsessed with pumpkin. I know what you might be thinking: you get obsessed with a lot of weird things. It’s true!! But I don’t think I am alone on this pumpkin issue. As soon as it is socially acceptable to start making everything pumpkin flavored and

Cold Sesame Noodles
10 minute meals are my favorite. I wish all cooking only took 10 minutes. Obviously I love cooking and playing around in the kitchen, but meals that take less time are just so much easier. This one is a joy for that reason. It honestly takes you far less time to make than you would

Asparagus and Mozzarella Pasta
Serves 4-6 I try not to lean too heavily on pasta, because it is one of my (admittedly many) weaknesses, and I tend to chow down a little too enthusiastically on it. It is, however, certainly an awesome go to for quick, easy, and healthy one-pot dinners. You can chuck almost anything in it. When

Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce
Serves 4-6 While tomato season is still pretty far off (here in the Garden State its usually July) my lovely local farms have delicious green house tomatoes in the market now! So I was thrilled to throw together this quick, easy, and delicious recipe. I make the sauce in the food processor, but if you

Linguini with Clam Sauce
Serves: 4-6 This one is a keeper! Easy and affordable to make for a crowd, and very impressive. It is a little more labor intensive than my usual meals, because I designed this one for Good Friday. I can tell you that it is perfect for a weeknight though, and like I mentioned earlier great
