ANGEL HAIR AGLIO E OLIO WITH CHICKEN AND BLISTERED CHERRY TOMATOES
I do not believe angel hair pasta gets as much love as all the other pastas, and I do not understand why not. I prefer it to spaghetti and it’s my staple pasta when I make pasta aglio e olio. I like the thinness of it and can easily be used for an array of…

LEFTOVER CROQUETTES
With the Thanksgiving holiday being over and my family having hosted, we were left with containers of leftovers.

CHICKEN MARBELLA
The Chicken Marbella has to be one of the most enigmatic dishes I have both cooked and consumed. It is briny, sweet, salty.

SHEPHERD’S PIE
This is one of my favorite comfort foods. It has everything from sauteed meat and veggies, to creamy mashed potatoes, all stuffed in a flaky, buttery crust. Although it is customary to make the Shepherd’s pie without a crust, I decided to take the path less traveled and make it into an actual pie like…
