Flavorful Fridays: Cotolette alla MilaneseThere are no vegetarians in my family–neither the one I was born into nor the one I married into. Every male on both sides of the family believe that no dinner meal is complete without meat of some kind making an appearance (although, I have been attempting to make it a small part of the meal so we’re not spending as much money on… |

Flavorful Fridays: Risotto alla MonzeseAs you probably know by now, we love risotto. It’s one of my favorite go-to dinners and one of my favorite comfort foods. Since Lombardia is known for their meats and risotto, the best thing to do is to put them together, right? Risotto alla Monzese (pronounced: ree-zo-toe ah-la moan-zay-say) is a pork sausage risotto.Apparently,… |

Flavorful Fridays: Prosciutto, Pesto, & Fontina PaniniSo, in keeping with my trend of posting prosciutto related recipes on my Flavorful Fridays this month (totally a coincidence, I might add), I decided to share my newest creation from last night’s dinner.I have my cake decorating class on Thursday nights, so I usually try to find a relatively simple and quick dinner so that Will and I… |

Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Jam FillingI have a little treat for your Tuesday. How does cake sound? As you probably know by now, I am taking a cake decorating class. I’m determined to master the art of cake decorating–not of the “Ultimate Cake-Off” level, but rather on the level of “hey, I can decorate a cake so it looks pretty and presentable for a nice occasion.” Where… |

Flavorful Fridays: Chicken ParmesanTypically, I’m not a huge fan of Chicken Parmesan. I think it has something to do with the fact that when you order it at a restaurant, the chicken is often fried before being drenched in marinara and cheese. So, the dish turns out being very heavy. This past week, I decided to try making my own version of Chicken Parmesan–something a… |

Not only was it Easter, it also happened to mark a big birthday milestone for my aunt and my cousin (they were born a week apart). So, Will and I traveled up to the Bay Area to join in the celebratory weekend.For the double birthday, we went to lunch at the North Beach Restaurant in San… |

Flavorful Fridays: Buona Pasqua!Happy Easter! Originating from northern Italy, our culinary traditions are quite different from southern Italy, however, this past week, I’ve been seeing/reading a lot about Italian Easter Bread (an episode of the Food Network’s The Cake Boss, for one). And, I realized that this recipe is extremely close to our traditional Easter… |

Flavorful Fridays: Eggplant ParmesanAt our annual family reunion a couple years back, I made my way down the table of delicious, homemade Italian delicacies. Glancing at a dish I recognized as belonging to my Nonna, I assumed it was lasagna (it was after all the dish she always used for lasagna), so I took a piece eager to enjoy my portion of Nonna’s lasagna. My first… |

Focaccia with Fresh RosemaryIf you have never tasted homemade, crisp-topped, soft-inside focaccia, you need to immediately get up, go to your kitchen, and make this. I’m serious. Go. You can thank me later. Focaccia (pronounced: foe-kau-chee-a) is an Italian flat bread that typically has salt, herbs, or olives on top. It is far better than the brittle, skinny… |

Flavorful Fridays: Granita–Coffee Ice with Whipped CreamWhen my siblings and I were younger, we used to loved shaved ice. Shaved ice was the ultimate carnival treat (although cotton candy was right up there, too). Maybe it was the way the colored ice slipped down our throats on a hot summer day, or maybe it was the Red Dye #9 that was never found in homemade treats but was suddenly… |
