Traditional Irish Breakfast

It’s not a heart attack on a plate; it’s a heart attack, high blood pressure, diabetes and a stroke on a plate.

Rosemary Focaccia

Focaccia means “flat bread” in Italian. Sorry if you were looking for a complicated back story.

Braciole

A rustic Southern Italy comfort food with three of my favorite features: It’s easy; you have a lot of time to hang out and drink with family while it simmers; and it makes the house smell great.

Soffritto-Style Seasoning Blend

This isn’t a soffrito, strictly speaking; soffrito is usually a mixture of onions, carrots, and celery softened with olive oil or butter. I’m calling it a soffrito because it’s based on a Trader Joe’s Soffrito seasoning blend I like but wanted to play with the blend. I like using it for hamburgers, meatloaf or other recipes with ground beef.

Real Live Honest-to-Louvre French Baguette

Making bread isn’t difficult. Making baguette with that crisp, deep golden-brown crust and chewy insides with skillions of holes—it’s a challenge. But the ingredients aren’t fancy or expensive: Yeast, flour, salt, water. You can afford some trial and error, and the end result is worth it!
