Electric Pressure Cooker Alfredo Bucatini

Electric Pressure Cooker Alfredo Bucatini Regrettably, it has been several months since I posted a recipe here and I am truly sorry.

So, I have plenty of recipes to share with you from all the experimenting. First, let me share my Electric Pressure Cooker Alfredo Bucatini....

Maple Pecan Pie Cannoli

Maple Pecan Pie Cannoli I know this is very late in getting posted but as promised, here is the Maple Pecan Pie Cannoli recipe. I had made a delicious Maple Pecan Pie for Thanksgiving and we really loved it. I wanted to do something different from the traditional cakes, pies, etc. that we always have at Christmas. Since my sister, Kim loves Cannoli, I figured the answer was to marry the yummy pie filling with some Mascarpone and make a...

Creamy Manchego Rose Sauce over Angel Hair Pasta

Creamy Manchego Rose Sauce over Angel Hair Pasta I love pasta. Not just a little, but, really, really, really love pasta. I could eat it everyday. With meat, without meat, tomato sauce, cream sauce or both sauce (rose)! Creamy Manchego Rose Sauce over Angel Hair Pasta which combines both tomato and cream to make this gorgeous rose sauce is one of my favorites. Whenever I ask my daughter what she would like for dinner, she almost always says “Ooh, Mom, can...

Shrimp and Mushroom Angel Hair Pasta Alfredo

I owe the creation of my Shrimp and Mushroom Angel Hair Pasta Alfredo Recipe to my daughter, Stella. We were talking the other day and she said she was really wanting some creamy pasta with shrimp. I was going with my sister to Birmingham for her doctor’s appointment so I thought I would go by Restaurant Depot and pick up some shrimp. Unfortunately, the only wild caught shrimp they had out was a 5 pound bag of frozen shrimp that...

Fresh made Pasta with Chicken Spinach Alfredo Sauce

It wasn’t too long ago when I made my Chicken Spinach Alfredo with Spaghetti recipe and it was so delicious. My cousin, Donna had been saying she wanted to watch the next time I made homemade pasta, so I decided to go ahead and make a fresh pasta. I made the sauce just a little different this time so you could use either sauce recipe. Or you could also use one of my other meat sauce recipes as...

Cheese Ravioli

I really enjoyed making these Cheese Ravioli with my daughter a couple of days ago. I started making them and in the process, I thought about how I had been wanting to make a video for my blog. So I asked my daughter if she wanted to help me. She sweetly agreed and now I have my first video recipe. Thank you so much sweetheart! Mommy loves you! I had invited my friend Ange (you will remember her...

Pasta with Meatballs

One of my favorite comfort foods is Pasta with Meatballs. I made these recently and used two pounds of meat because we were having guest over. When I started to clean up, I was going to put what I thought was “some” meatballs into a container in the fridge. There was one lonely meatball. I guess nobody wanted to take the last meatball :-). They were really delicious. Try my recipe, I think you will like it. Pasta with...

My Favorite Food . . . How do you choose one?

My Favorite Food . . . How do you choose one? Choosing a favorite food is difficult when you are a foodie! After much consideration though, I would have to say my favorite food is my Angel hair pasta with meat sauce. It is so simple and it is better the next day (if you have any left)! You could also use this sauce on with regular spaghetti or your favorite pasta. You could also use it to make a...
