Flavorful Fridays: Chicken Stuffed with Parmesan & Basil by Liana Monari

I was talking with my mom the other day, and I told her that I keep waiting for life to slow down.

Flavorful Fridays: Tagliatelle with Lamb Sugo by Liana Monari

Yikes! I’ve gotten quite behind in posting, which is very sad because I have lots of great recipes to share with you all! My parents visited last weekend, and my mom shared a great new recipe. She found a recipe from Mario Batali for a delicious lamb sauce. Of course, we had to give it a try! The lamb and pancetta add a lot of depth…

Flavorful Fridays: Pasta with Fresh Tomatoes & Basil

Flavorful Fridays: Pasta with Fresh Tomatoes & Basil by Liana Monari

Recently, I’ve been on a major pasta kick (more so than usual!). Maybe because I’ve started working out again regularly, my body is craving carbs; or maybe because now that it’s September, my brain is telling me it’s time for warm comfort food, in spite of the still 90 degree weather we have. Whatever it is, I’ve been making more…

Best Ever Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting by Liana Monari

Since my foray into cake decorating, I’m always looking for interesting and new cakes to make and decorate. My most recent discovery came a month ago when I accompanied my mom to a cake shop to help her look for some supplies she needed for a wedding cake she was making for a family friend. It was there that I found the most…
