Over two decades ago I ordered a Cosmopolitan at The Odeon in NYC. Maybe it was just a magical evening or how the bartender prepared it but to this day the “Cosmo” is my favorite cocktail (other than a Skinny Margarita).

Paella
I spent time in Spain during college and fell in love with paella. This is a fun dish to make for a get-together with friends or a summer BBQ. Que aproveche!
Pat’s Italian Sausage Skillet
My cousin Pat makes this super tasty single skillet meal that blends his Southern roots with our Southern Italian roots.
John Daly
Love a cold, refreshing Arnold Palmer? Me too. Last summer I discovered this cocktail version of that famous drink and it makes for a perfect refresher on a hot day.
Cranberry-Jalapeño Cream Cheese Dip
After a friend brought this to Friendsgiving, this became one of my favorite appetizers. It’s easy to make and a crowd-pleaser! – Katie
Escarole Soup (aka Italian Wedding Soup)
This hearty soup recipe is from a friend’s mother who was French but wanted to meet the dietary desires of her Italian husband. She did not disappoint!
Citrus Marinated Flank Steak
In an effort to eat healthier while not sacrificing taste, I stumbled upon this marinated flank steak recipe.
Sweet and Spicy Kale and Tofu Salad
This is one of my most favorite weeknight meals. It’s light but at the same time filling and never boring with a little spice and sweetness to it.
Easy Egg Cups
Create a grab and go breakfast option or any time protein hit with this simple recipe. And as a Libra, I like options so this allows you to mix and match ingredients ranging from broccoli to bacon.
Chilly Weather Chili
This recipe just calls for onion, garlic, and ground beef and a handful of cans from in the pantry making it a super simple last minute meal.
