I recently had this tasty starter at a friend’s home (thanks Lorelei) and added it to my repertoire as it’s delicious and simple to make. It’s truly the easiest little appetizer you can make yet, it garnered so many kudos at a recent outdoor pool party at my home. It can be prepared in advance […]
[Continue reading...]Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken with Gouda and Sage
July 16, 2025 By
When I have a lot of sage in the garden, like right now, I typically make a traditional Easy Veal Satimbocca but last week, I had leftover Gouda cheese so decided to mix things up a bit by stuffing chicken I’d butterflied with the Gouda and tons of sage. I then wrapped the chicken in Prosciutto, tied […]

July 3, 2025 By
I’ve been a longtime fan of Chef Robbie Felice (@chefrobbiefelice) and his acclaimed New Jersey restaurants, so when he and his team launched @pastaramen, I was immediately intrigued.

Last weekend I found amazing wild caught king salmon at my local fish market and brought it home without a plan on how I’d cook it. I had leftover pistachios so decided to add them to my food processor with garlic, flat leaf parsley, olive oil, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper. With a […]

December 10, 2024 By
I was recently invited to a holiday cookie exchange party where I had to bring dozens of cookies to swap with other ladies. While I have many delicious cookie recipes on the blog, I wanted to challenge myself with trying a new recipe that would yield several dozen cookies. I came across a recipe that […]
