garlic lamb cutlets with mustard mint sauce

The mint in the recipe cuts some of the stronger flavors often found in lamb while the mustard adds a bit of tartness.  What is best of all, is the juices of the lamb seep into the potatoes and zucchini creating a delicious melody of flavors!

What started as a small idea to get friends together every few months has developed into a source of comfort and connection during the global pandemic.

Pumpkin cinnamon panna cotta

Pumpkin, oh pumpkin!  Autumn is my favorite month and finding new ways to use pumpkin is always something to bring out the creativity. 

Pumpkin Chili

A seasonal treat for the autumn season when pumpkin is on your mind!  My niece, who is a nutritionist, posted a picture of the dish on her Instagram and I quickly asked for the recipe.

Pumpkin and ricotta filled ravioli (by hand) with butter and sage

Heavenly, creamy and seasonal homemade pumpkin ravioli that takes a bit of effort but results in an unforgettable dish. I recommend if you have never made your own pasta or ravioli, to gather up a bunch of friends and attack the recipe in a group.

Buttermilk marble cake

Can’t decide between a vanilla or chocolate cake then this is the choice for you.  I adapted the recipe slightly from The New York Time’s cooking website. 

homemade granola

You’ll never make granola again after realizing how easy it is to create a delicious mix.  You can even experiment with different spices, nuts or sweeteners.  I know make this every week and my family eats it dry, with a bit of milk or on top of yogurt or ice cream.
