Special Valentine Sugar Cookies

Special Valentine Sugar Cookies by Liana Monari

A couple years ago my mom found this Message-in-a-Cookie kit from Williams Sonoma, and it’s been sitting on a shelf with my cookbooks since she passed it along to me. I’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to pull out the kit and make my own specialized message cookies.Last year, as you may remember, I made Will Chocolate…

Chocolate Tiramisu

Chocolate Tiramisu by Liana Monari

Typically, when we have friends over for dinner, I begin planning our menu the minute the date and time have been set. And, depending on who our company is, I know I either need to stick with the tried and true or I can veer off and try something new. A couple weeks ago, we had some friends over for dinner, and my week had been so…

Flavorful Fridays: Apple & Raspberry Charlotte by Liana Monari

Apple Sausage Dumplings

Apple Sausage Dumplings by Liana Monari

Keeping in touch with friends after college can be quite challenging, especially when people move and start having children. Since our closest friends all happen to live within an hour or so of where we are, and since they all happen to be foodies as well, we decided to make a purposeful, food-centered get-together to catch up. We…

Flavorful Fridays: Nutella Cookies

Flavorful Fridays: Nutella Cookies by Liana Monari

Nutella is one of my favorite things to eat, and I have flirted with the idea of eating it everyday (it’s so yummy spread on a piece of toast for breakfast!). However, I am concerned that if I were to actually do that, I will no longer fit into my clothes. That would not be so good. One thing that is good is that I can still enjoy…

Piadina

Piadina by Liana Monari

One of my favorite things to eat when I was in Italy was piadina (pronounced: pee-uh-dee-nuh). It’s the perfect snack because you can eat this Italian flatbread by itself or you can add any number of delicious meats and cheeses to enhance the flavor (I like prosciutto with mozzarella or Parmesan). Piadina originates in Romagna,…

Tagliatelle Fresche al Prosciutto Crudo

Tagliatelle Fresche al Prosciutto Crudo by Liana Monari

We actually made this pasta several weeks ago, but I forgot to post the recipe for you! So here it is, fresh tagliatelle with prosciutto crudo. Because of the prosciutto and Parmesan cheese, it’s slightly on the salty side, but it’s delicious! This pasta is also quite simple to make and can be paired just as nicely with store-bought…

“Saltimbocca” can be translated as “Jump in your mouth” and that is exactly what you will want this chicken to do. Combining chicken, prosciutto, and spinach, this is a delicious and surprisingly light dish. Pair it with a glass of white wine and a creamy pasta, and you will have the perfect meal.Chicken SaltimboccaCourtesy of Giada…
