A colorful fantastic Frittata!



I was in the mood for something yummy for lunch so I whipped this tasty Frittata.  So easy, so good, just right on a cold winter's day!  If you like to make omelets or Frittatas I highly recommend Calphalone's Frittata pan. Non stick for easy clean up, just the best.



Frittata with broccoli and red peppers

2 eggs beaten
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian herbs
1/4 cup broccoli, steamed
1 red pepper cut in cubes, steamed


If not using a non stick pan spray with cooking spray.  Heat pan on medium. Combine cheese and herbs with eggs, pour into pan.  Cook until eggs are starting to set about 5 minutes. Top with steamed broccoli and peppers, continue to cook for another 3 minutes. Flip the Frittata, cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and serve.

You can use any combination of vegetables, cheese or spices to vary the taste. Some times I like to use feta cheese, spinach and onions or fresh mozzarella, asparagus and mushrooms. Let your imagination run wild! 

Enjoy!

Rigatoni with Eggplant and Pine Nut Crunch

I make this pasta dish from a recipe in the current, March 2011, Bon Appetit issue. Very rich in taste with the addition of heavy cream, but I think not all calories are the same. You feel more satisfied from delicious calories then junk calories. So skip processed and junk food in favor of a wonderful meal. And remember portion control is always an option to cutting calories. www.bonappetit.com Enjoy

Mangia, Mangia!

As much a I love to garden,I do love to cook and entertain. I learned to cook and appreciate good food from my Mother and Grandmother. I have fond memories of growing up sharing wonderful meals with my extended family. My Grandmother made everything from scratch including growing the herbs, garlic and plum tomatoes for her sauce. Yes in my Italian family we call it sauce not gravy.(Gravy is what you made from turkey and beef). My Grandmother made the most wonderful meals without recipes, fancy tools or gadgets, just the best ingredients and some simple kitchen tools. She didn’t even measure her ingredients she just knew how much by sight. Everything that she made was just delicious, even a simple cheese sandwich was heaven to taste. My Mother carried on this tradition of being an exceptional coo

The Beautiful Bride     When my daughter got engaged I knew that her Bridal Shower would be an elegant Tea Party.  She and I have been going to high tea since she was a little girl continually finding wonderful tea houses to visit during our travels. Living in the Boston are I found the perfect venue in the Soiree Dinning Room at Upstairs on The Square in Harvard Square.  The whimsical gilded designed dinning room looks like Alice just fell through the looking glass! I found my dream location for a fanciful Tea Party. Next I went to work with my daughter-in-law Jackie to make the perfect invitations to compliment the look and feel of the Soiree Dinning Room.  We didn't need to look any further than The Paper Source with Nicole helping us pick out the perfect invitations to make.  Gold polka dot invitations mounted on hot pink paper with a hot pink envelope finished with a sparkly gold liner.  Bright, fun and beautiful! Next onto the favors.  I am n
