This dip dangerously good & SO EASY!I took all the flavors of a steak house loaded baked potato & turned it into a cool, creamy dip. Top it off with shredded sharp cheddar, crispy bacon, chives and paired with crispy golden waffle fries…it’s the perfect app from your summer BBQs to the Super Bowl!

OLD FASHIONED MASHED POTATOES ( Serves 4-6 )

Everyone needs a recipe for good ol’ mashed potatoes & this one’s mine. This recipe & so much more in my upcoming cookbook! Pre-order starts SOON!

If I could only have one Christmas cookie for all of time…this would be it! Grandma’s Italian Cookies are simple enough for even the baker haters! These take me right back to days of yore. These simple cookies have been around for generations and truly stand the test of time. Pillowy soft and not super sweet, they are great any time of day but I love them most with coffee! 

We packed up the kids and ran off to the Big E Fair in Springfield, MA this past weekend!

Happy World Series!!! We made our game day dinner LIVE! Since my husband is from Boston & his family is visiting we had to have New England Clam Chowder.

The pizza life chose me!! My parents joined me LIVE in my crazy kitchen & it was pretty much the best thing ever.

Mom life is full of ups & downs. The highs are high and the lows are – well, lock yourself in the bathroom and cry kind of moments.

This is one of my favorite dishes! I never pass it up on a menu but truth be told – the one I make it home is kinda aaamazing.

All of a sudden everyone’s talking Celery Juice!

“MA, THE MEATLOAF!!” Everyone needs a good ol’ meatloaf recipe in their bag of tricks.

I was happy to attend the 300th opening celebration of Grocery Outlets in Inglewood.

This takes “dance moms” to a whole new level!! And while Billy Jean is NOT my lover…the kid IS my son.

Join me in my kitchen as I make classic Spaghetti Carbonara with the fam!

Last year I had a huge Christmas wish.

OPA! Fried eggs over sautéed spinach & fennel.

When your 3 year old decides that the entire family should be superheroes you totally oblige!

NO guts! ALL glory!

A healthy twist on Taco Tuesday!

What’s more fun than an Easter floral & new patent leather shoes?

The perfect dessert for both Easter & Passover! All the taste of a delicious lemon meringue pie in  bite sized little nibbles.
