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!
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.
Broccoli Cheddar and Zucchini Soup
This Broccoli Cheddar and Zucchini Soup from Half-Baked Harvest is a fall staple. It’s comfort in a bowl!
Chocolate Caramel Cracker Toffee
This delicious gooey, salty, chocolatey homemade toffee is easy to make – and even easier to eat – and makes a great holiday gift.
Cheese Fondue
Growing up, my family would always go to this fondue restaurant for special occasions. It has since closed, and after many attempts I have recreated their classic cheese fondue appetizer.
Lemon Ricotta Cookies
Holiday cookies are one of my favorite things to make and eat. I’ve always loved Italian cookies and lemon so this recipe is the perfect blend of both.
Roasted Cauliflower Soup with Cumin and Coriander
I was introduced to this tasty soup by my friend Nathalie who claims it’s “probably one of my favorite soups in the world.”
Hot Buttered Rum
My favorite bar in town serves these on a secret menu just as soon as the weather gets a chill in the air. This one definitely warms you up!
Irish Hot Toddy
The first time I had one of these was on a rainy, cold day at a golf course in Ireland watching the Solheim Cup. I was immediately hooked.
