My kids call this “Peas and Prosciutto”. It is a really easy and very delicious meal that everyone likes. If you have everything on hand it is a no brainer. You can use bow tie pasta if you don’t have gnocchi. First you put a package of prosciutto into the pan and I use scissors to cut it up. Then…

“It’s It” Chocolate Covered Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich
My son found this fun silicone pan that makes diamond shapes. I made some oatmeal cookies in the pan and filled two cookies with vanilla ice cream and refroze them in the pan. The next day I popped them out and I drizzled them with a melted dark chocolate bar. It was really good and reminded me of the It’s…
Croatian Pasticada – Dalmation Pot Roast with Homemade Gnocchi
Wow! Wow! Wow! Well worth the effort! This picture doesn’t do justice to the flavor inside there! This was so much work but so worth it! I met a woman Anna from Belgium who is from Croatia on a river rafting trip in Costa Rica last week. At lunch she was telling me about Croatian food and told me about…
Vegetable Soup over Handmade Ravioli
I like to make this when I need some seriously healthy nutrients in my body! This has so much good stuff it is bound to cure you! I usually don’t add the chicken but happened to have these boneless skinless thighs in my freezer that I needed to use. I first browned them in olive oil and then added all…
Drunken Noodles with Shrimp
I bought this in Chinatown wanting to make Drunken Noodles at home but kept procrastinating. I finally put the bag on the counter and had it stare at me for a few days until I finally gave in and just went for it. I didn’t have the perfect ingredients but I had some coconut curry sauce that I made for…
Scrambled Eggs, Shallots, Rosemary Ham and Spinach
This is a yummy low carb breakfast I love when I am not having my oatmeal with Noosa yoghurt or steamed milk. I love onions but I love shallots more! Shallots have such a great flavor and it shines through scrambled eggs so nicely. I also love the Trader Joes Rosemary Ham! It has such a great rosemary flavor…
Blueberry, Raspberry, Cinnamon, Brown Sugar Buttermilk Coffee Cake
Well, I think the title says it all! What’s not to love about all those things? I guess I could have added the word Butter! to the title. This turned out so good I couldn’t stop myself from eating too much of it! I was making buttermilk pancakes and once everyone left for work and school I had way too…
Latte Art!
My husband and I have been working on our latte art for about a year now. It is a lot harder than you think. You have to first get awesome espresso with a great crema. A great crema is a sign of fresh high quality coffee beans and a good extraction. Then you also need to learn to…
Spicy Sweet Potato, Black Bean Burgers with Avocado-Cilantro Crema
I love a good veggie burger! As I was trolling the internet for interesting recipes I came across this one from ambitiouskitchen.com. It looked interesting and wanted to try it out. I don’t need my veggie patties to look like real hamburger. I will eat a real hamburger for that. I love a good Shake Shack, Five Guys or…
Coffee, Cinnamon and Pecan Muffins with Rich Espresso Icing
Yesterday I needed to decalcify my espresso machine’s steam wand so I was delving into the manual online to see how much vinegar to use. I came across this recipe which looked very interesting. Obviously heavy on using espresso. I have made Tiramisu but never baked with espresso or used it in frosting. I was intrigued by the use of…
