I've been procrastinating making these cookies for my blog because everyone likes a different type or style. Some like chewy, some like crisp, some like thin, some like thick. You get it. These are my favorite style of chocolate chip cookies. They are crispy on the edges and outside and lightly chewy in the center.…

The Best Red Sauce Ever
When I'm excited about making something, I almost always ask my Mom or Dad for a recipe or their thoughts on what to do. So when I told my dad I wanted to make spaghetti and meatballs with a simple tomato sauce, he sent me the tomato sauce recipe from the Frankie Spuntino cook book…
Thai Green Curry Paste
I, like most people, fall into 'not amazing habits'. One of these not amazing habits is getting lazy and buying something pre-made from the shops to make dinner a million times easier. Things like, roast chicken (is there anything better than the smell of those roasted chickens?!?), tomato sauce (like spaghetti and meatballs tomato sauce,…
Refreshing Blueberry & Mint Smoothie

Hayden’s Favorite Flat Breads
I first made these flat breads about a year ago. I had a few hours to spare and felt like trying something new. This was a BIG mistake. I now HAVE TO make them for any meal you could possibly eat a flat bread on or with because Hayden likes them so much. Yeah, they're…
Nonni’s Apple Puffed Pancake
My grandfather, we called him Papa, was the kind of guy that would smile at the right person and get exactly what he wanted. I like to think I get some sneaky/cheeky bits of my personality from him. He was a big kid that loved every part of life, especially the little things, like dancing…
