Oh my, how I love Alfredo but apparently noodles – well carbs in general – no longer like me 🙂 . I have been trying all kinds of things lately. Rice noodles, brown rice noodles, tofu noodles and even mung bean noodles… yes, even those.  Well, I had heard about this spiralizer from Paderno. I actually saw it used by one of my favorite soap stars(What? I am female and I watch a soap. Moving on…) It was amazing. I love veggies!! The idea of making my favorite veggies into spirals intrigued me.  So off I went to purchase my new kitchen item! I must say I have enjoyed it very much. These zucchini noodles are every bit as delicious as the real thing.  My daughter now asks for these instead of her favorite dish, which is meatball and spaghetti. Now let me say I have used these in so many ways already before posting this dish, I have used regular pasta sauce, carbonara sauce which I loved, pesto zucchini and an olive oil and garlic sauce which was yummy as well. Hands down though, this version is a winner for everyone.

bcsfinal1To say that this was good would be an understatement.   Not that I usually try and make things taste like fast food but come on we all know the sense of contentment when that one burger from your favorite fast food place hits the spot and a smile crosses your face. Then we look around to make sure no one saw that. Well this is that sandwich! Melty blue cheese, bacon, warm kicked up Texas Pete sauce and crispy baked Panko breaded chicken..oh did i say bacon?  Ok let do this…..

Gnocchi is one of my favorite comfort foods. It is not only versatile, but the soft almost creamy texture makes it a sure favorite around here. For this dish I wanted to make something lush, but still add some fresh healthy ingredients. The asparagus, mushrooms and lemon add a nice freshness that brought this recipe to the top of my favorites list.  Parmesan cheese, wine and shrimp brought in the lush I was looking for. Some of us loved the side option of adding the sausage and fresh tomato to the top giving it a heartiness without over powering any of the other flavors in the dish. Me myself, I loved the fresh tomato on top.

I wanted to try something I don’t usually eat and make them in a different way. Yes yes I know your mother made you ate them right?  Well mine too.  I hid them under mashed potatoes, I spit them out, I even dropped them in my milk, just so I didn’t have to eat the dreaded brussel sprouts. Well once you try this I think you will be able to finally say, “Hey I think I like these! Revamped with parmesan cheese, cream with horseradish how can we go wrong?  I had seen this recipe once back during the holidays and didn’t really give it much thought until someone said, “Hey, I like brussel sprouts,” like I somehow offended them.  So this ones for you.  Continue reading →

datesfinal2This recipe is so easy, why I don’t make these more often?! Sausage and bacon how can this be wrong? Right?! This is a GREAT appetizer to serve guests before any dinner party. You will completely stump them and leave them guessing at exactly what they are eating. The date is so rich and yummy when baked it mimics a savory meat. The flavors work so well together. When we had this as an appetizer at ATAVOLA, I just knew I had to make these at home.
