I am in Farm Share heaven right now, thanks to Siena Farms. I just picked up this weeks CSA box and am blown away by everything that is pristine and thriving right now in New England. First out of the box were gorgeous Cherriette Radishes. The sophistication of this “amuse bouche” comes in it’s simplicity: […]
This is one of my favorite summer desserts. There is nothing like chilled custard-y lime flavors to refreshen the palate on these hot summer nights. This recipe is extremely quick and easy. The texture tastes like a delicious egg-based custard, however, the creamy consistency is achieved with sweetened condensed milk. I like to romanticize this […]

Monday is Fish Day for the Rossi’s! Every Monday between 4-6p we meet Fisherman Nick in Cambridge to grab the latest catch from Cape Ann Fresh Catch Community Supported Fishery (CSF). The fish is literally fresh off the boat that morning and I love the pleasure of shaking hands with the guy who caught it. If we […]
This recipe is another one of my mom’s that I remember from when I was little. She used to make the most delicious Banana Coconut Tea Bread that she would serve when friends would come for an afternoon visit. Traditionally, her recipe is made with toasted coconut and coarsely chopped walnuts and is lovely sliced. […]
My folks were out here this past week to celebrate the MasterChef premiere with AJ and me. I didn’t waste a minute asking them to whip up a few of the dishes that remind me of my childhood. I have lived over 3,000 miles away from them for over 10 years, so recipes are how […]
This spring, I took an amazing pastry class out in LA from Pastry Chef, Clemence Gossett. So while Pillsbury may have a place in my freezer, this 5 Minute Pie Crust has become a fantastic addition to my culinary arsenal when the ingredients are too perfect not too dote on just a little extra! Yesterday […]
If this drink could talk it would say, “I has hoping you would swing by!” This is a toast to AJ and some of our most fun times together, laughing and making plans for our future over Cava Sangria at Pipa in NYC. While I tried to weasel the exact recipe from the bartender without […]
With just one bite… I can smell the dark roast coffee brewing and hear Harry Belafonte’s voice carrying through my grandparents beloved home in Carmel, California. My “Oma” is famous for her heart-filled cooking and breakfasts from “scratch.” This recipe is like Oma- fantastic and adaptable. She never lets a recipe or her pantry slow […]
Tis the season for holiday parties… and Hostess Gifting. Who doesn’t love chocolate?! This bark recipe is quick and easy. The cooling time can even be expedited in the fridge. I picked up a variety of great looking gift packaging options at Michaels Craft Store that I keep in a kitchen drawer to help make […]
This is another easy and delicious recipe that is great to have on hand, ready to go in the fridge. The dough keeps nicely for over a week making it ideal to bake on demand when friends swing by for cocktails. I also love recipes, like the Baked Eggs, that give you the basic “structure” […]
One of my favorite things about the holiday season is an impromptu get-together with good friends! Now that our halls are decked, I loaded up the fridge and pantry with a few fun nibbles that keep well and are a deluxe treat, not to mention- EASY to whip out when the doorbell rings! My first […]

With snow in the forecast and a long week under our belts, I thought I would try a lean take on a classic comfort food dish- the Sloppy Joe! This recipe is inspired by Cooking Light but I made a few changes. I added extra veggies (which are coming out of my ears thanks to […]
