Sweet Potato Perogies

Inspired by Italian squash ravioli, this nontraditional filling has a sweet, velvety flavour that is especially good when tossed with fresh sage leaves that have been fried in butter just until the butter turns brown.

Chili Con Carne

Arancini with Bocconcini & Peas

Salmon With Winter Slaw

Remember that the fish will keep cooking after you take it out of the oven, so don’t be afraid to remove it just before it's cooked through.

Pumpkin Gnocchi

Pork Ossobuco & Turkey Meatballs

Prosciutto and Sun-Dried Tomato Strata

Prepping the strata the night before gives it a nice texture after baking and also makes the morning of your brunch much less stressful. Prosciutto and cheese are salty, so we haven't added any more salt.

Healthy Slow Cooker Lasagna

I got a slow cooker last Christmas and didn't know what to do with it. Guess what...I can do almost any recipe that is somewhat saucy. I am Italian and have always enjoyed classic lasagna--so I tried lasagna in the slow cooker and it worked! Try this "healthier" version. Sauce can be made the night before. Assembly takes 5 minutes in the morning and you can come home from work knowing that a hearty and healthy meal is waiting--the house will smell terrific!

Zucchini and Chicken Alfredo

This pasta dinner is a fast treat for cool or rainy summer nights.  The rich, creamy sauce is lightened up with loads of lemon, thyme and zucchini.

Stuffed Roasted Artichokes

It takes a little practice to trim an artichoke – but practice makes perfect! Be careful of the tips because they are a little bit spiky. Rub all the cut edges, including the tops, with lemon juice to avoid discoloration.
