It had to be the hunger that possessed me to bookmark a recipe I saw for Venetian Spaghetti, which is essentially pasta with a sardine cream sauce. I had never eaten sardines before, but I do love myself some pasta. The… Continue reading Unique Venetian Style Spaghetti
Thai Coconut Curry Tilapia
I came home from work like a good girl and made this week’s Craving recipe. I have to say that we are generally anti-curry. It’s just not really something that appeals to us. Though I have not really had much experience eating curries, I find the aromas to be unpleasant. I always associated curry with… Continue reading Thai Coconut Curry Tilapia
Ahi Tuna Tartare Recipe
I don’t put much stock into the USDA guidelines for cooking meats. I like my steak barely cooked, fish and shell fish completely raw (or close to it), my pork slightly pink on the inside, and even my poultry cooked JUST to the point of safety. The reason? Because it’s delicious that way, plain and… Continue reading Ahi Tuna Tartare Recipe

Flaky Peach Pie Recipe
The one request I get most from my husband of what he wants me to make is pie. It is always “where’s the pie, where’s the pie”? So for his birthday, which was a few weeks ago, I had to make him a pie. No, I wanted to make him a pie, because I love… Continue reading Flaky Peach Pie Recipe

Being a lemon dessert lover, this was an awesome pick in my opinion. In fact, I had already made this tart and posted about it here.

I love risotto, so I was psyched to make this. It turned out great and was a nice light dinner filled with lots of yummy vegetables, and also made for great lunch leftovers.
