CHOCOLATE anise ALMOND biscotti cookies by Foodessa

By no means a simple tasting chocolate crunch treat, just simply made easy. A few ground anise seeds and roasted almonds chime into this long awaited biscotti. A slightly sweet chocolate, crunchy biscotti bite. The aromatics coming off the anise seeds really brought this cookie into another class of its own. For a detailed…

Penne Alfredo with Italian Sausage and Zucchini

Penne Alfredo with Italian Sausage and Zucchini by Denise Sherin

I had this dish at a local diner and loved it. So I recreated it at home it's an easy tasty dish. It looks like you spent a lot of time making it and it comes together so easily. In this picture I used just zucchini but I have made it with summer squash or a mix of both, whatever I have on hand, and it's great.

Spanakopita Dip

Spanakopita Dip by Denise Sherin

So yummy! Great for parties and get togethers. Original recipe is posted here but I leave out the dill because I am not a big fan of dill. Serve with fresh pita bread, toasted pita chips or your favorite dippers breads, crackers or veggies.

Mediterranean Nachos (Greek Nachos)

Mediterranean Nachos (Greek Nachos) by Denise Sherin

Yummy Greek flavors in nacho form. Instead of sour cream you could use some tzatziki sauce or slice some raw baby spinach leaves. You can also use a flavored feta cheese if you like. To make a heartier dish you can add some shredded chicken or tuna to the tomato mixture.

Using frozen bread dough in 12 pre-sectioned roll form keeps your dough uniform, but you can use loaf form and divide it into 12 sections yourself. You can change the filling to anything you like. This recipe uses Pepperoni, but you can use sausage, steak, chicken or…

Being Irish I grew up eating cabbage and ham, I love Cabbage. But we always had it plain, or in colcannon. In Lancaster Pa (Amish country) at Millers Restaurant I had Baked Cabbage and it was wonderful! I couldn't wait to make it at home.

Cous Cous Salad

Cous Cous Salad by Denise Sherin

I love Cous-Cous and this salad is a nice change from cous- cous as a side dish. Its great cold or room temp. I used to make it with a white wine vinaigrette, but it doesn't need it. So now I just offer some raspberry vinaigrette on the side for those who want it but most people eat it plain. I will include the vinaigrette recipe…

My husband wanted to make something for dinner, so he decided to look online and find something to make. The first time he did that, it wasnt pretty! But this one was a hit, it was good. And he was very, very proud of himself!
