Every summer my Mom, sister, Aunt and cousins kick off the warm weather with my Grandma’s potato salad. Its the staple at all of our cookouts, bbq’s, and dinner parties once the weather is hot. It takes a little bit of time, but man is the result worth it. The recipe below is verbatim, but…

Grico’s Grilled Cheese
I know this sounds rudimentary and juvenile – but seriously – who doesn’t love toasty, cheesy tasty goodness? One of my favorite memories is going to lunch with my Mom and sister at a sweet little cafe in Kingston, PA. It was near one of the only places to shop for “cool” clothes and sometimes…
Cheesy Broccoli and Chicken Rice
When I was kid, my Mom would make us Rice-a-Roni. Our favorite was the broccoli cheddar which she often served with grilled chicken. Whether or not we ate the chicken with gusto I can’t remember, but there was never any rice leftover. This recipe takes the nostalgia of that childhood classic and amps it up…
Twice Baked Potatoes
For my birthday a few days ago my hubby and a dear friend took me to dinner. I had Halibut with a lemon thyme sauce, broccoli and a twice baked potato. The broccoli was fine, but nothing to write home about – the halibut, however, was fabulous and the twice baked potato the perfect complement….
Lemon Pasta with Pancetta
Pasta is one thing we can eat every day and not get sick of – so needless to say we eat a lot of pasta in our house. We had a dear friend for dinner last Sunday, and I wanted to make something easy, but comforting. And of course delicious! This one knocked it out…
Mozzarella Stuffed Marinara Burgers
Guys – these were so good. Even the sous chefs devoured them. I literally ate them standing at the kitchen counter. Whoops. Make them. Tonight. I had just enough Marinara sauce to do nothing with except throw it away or add a smidge to something. I was making cheese stuffed burgers so added it for…
Lemon Butter Pasta with Anchovies
I saw this on Instagram and knew I needed to make it. I don’t love anchovies, but for some reason this recipe spoke to me. And holy moly. It was good. Really, really, good. I adapted it slightly because I didn’t have the exact ingredients, but I don’t think it lost anything. Just super simple…
Creamy Blistered Tomato and Kale Pasta
One of my dearest friends was in town this past weekend, and we had a small girls get together with other besties from our old neighborhood. Dinner needed to be easy, but delicious. I didn’t want to slave away in the kitchen and miss all the tea! It also needed to be vegetarian because one…
Browned Butter Tarragon Chicken and Biscuits
Ever hear of a happy accident? This is one of those very nice amalgamations of a variety of errors that came together for one delicious dinner. I was prepping to make my Mom’s chicken pot pie, and got distracted – almost burnt the butter, forgot to defrost the pie crust, and realized I was out…
Pumpkin Pasta with Country Bacon Sausage
Hands down this is my hubby’s favorite meal. Ask him what he wants for his birthday? Pumpkin pasta. Special occasion? Pumpkin pasta. Regular night? Pumpkin pasta. And I’ll be honest – everyone in the fam is totally on board. This dish is fantastic. Its creamy, spicy, warm, homey and feels like the best kind of…
