Parmesan Garlic Twice Baked Potato Casserole Parmesan Garlic Twice Baked Potato Casserole takes some of the work out of mashed potatoes but adds so much creamy, cheesy flavor. The result?

Roasted Broccoli and Brussel Sprouts Pasta I should rename my blog and call it 1001 ways to eat pasta or something like that. Because I just can’t get enough of it these days. It’s bad.

Sometimes inspiration just hits me. This baked crab dip was one of those bam moments for me. I was looking for something new to do for Christmas Eve. I mentioned before we always have a Christmas Shrimp Scampi, thanks to me growing up celebrating a version of the Feast of Seven Fishes. Well, since getting…

One of the best parts of growing up with an Italian influence was Christmas eve food. In Italy, it’s traditional to celebrate Christmas with the Feast of the Fish. The dishes are pretty intense. Scungili (eel- yuck!) is a big one in some parts of Italy. Rather, my mom took the tradition she grew up…
