Whether you're entertaining or simply fixing food for your family, you'll find easy, delicious recipes with an Italian flair. If you are a fellow Italian-American, then you know what I mean. I don't make anything that isn't tweaked or improved, a.k.a. flair!, based on the history of cooking with my own Italian family, where the kitchen is truly the heart of the home.
My Italian history.

This is definitely NOT a gourmet recipe site. It's just real food I cook at home for my family and friends...nothing fancy. I hope it inspires my family to cook for theirs and I hope it keeps our Italian-American recipes alive for generations to come!

My recipes will be mainly Italian with a sprinkling of other recipes I've come to love over the years. Most of the recipes include ingredients that are easy to find and can be prepared in less than an hour. (My 2 favorite ingredients? Passion and love!) With these recipes you can take pride in knowing that you are serving your family and friends delicious, nutritious homemade food.

The Italian recipes you'll find here are from my family recipe box and inspired by cooking with my Italian family. Many of the recipes are adapted by me from traditional recipes. Some have been simplified to be prepared in under an hour. They are perfect for family meals, as well as entertaining.
