I just love when I bring a dish to a party, cookout, or get together, and mine is one of the first to disappear! This past weekend, we went to a 76th birthday celebration for a family friend. The Davis family is an amazing group of people, who fill their home with laughs as well [Read On]
You always hear of “meat and potato guys,” but have you ever heard of “meat and potato girls?” Well, I’m that girl.

I have been wanting to create a recipe like this since first visiting Little Italy a few years ago. I was walking down Mulberry Street, freezing in the cold wintery air.

I absolutely adore this recipe! I actually completely made it up – and I was completely unsure of how it would come out. First off, it’s pretty as hell, beyond quick and easy to make, and super healthy. I made it for Mama and Papa G, and needless to say I had NO leftovers. How [Read On]
