Recipes, Thank you and More…

 

Rapini (Broccoli Rabe)  is a favorite healthy

Italian dish that only my mom can make perfect!

I think that know matter how old we are, we still want mom’s cooking...

Here is my quick version.

Side Dish 005

 Rinse and cut off stems!

I use to add red pepper flakes but, to hot for the little one.

So, just added olive oil

Chopped garlic

Salt & Pepper

Cook down until tender

I caught a picture with the steam.

You can also add Italian Sausage to this dish. Yummy.

Side Dish 030

 

Stuff it into to some sourdough rolls. ( my favorite).

This side dish is even better the next day!!!

Side Dish 062

Fingerling potatoes are the best!

Just add olive oil, rosemary, thyme and bake in the oven 375 degrees

for 45 minutes.

Side Dish 027

I try and cook for my family often. 

It is so important to sit around the table for dinner.

I was contacted by a great food purveyor recently that would

love for me to try some things out with my recipes!

Coming soon!

I wanted to thank the special and oh so talented,

 Tina from Rubies Place

  25. Fingerlings are my sons favorite dish! Your blog is really beautiful. I've just come over from Maria's at Dreamy Whites. She told me a while back when I personally inquired about using white furniture with children, to go ahead. She gave me the confidence to buy not one but, two white sofas for my newly remodeled home. It is great to see the photo of your white sofa and I can't wait to have a better look around your blog to see what else you do with white. Congrats on all your successes, you have a new follower.

  26. I love potatoes that way! Ah for the days of sourdough--wonder if anyone makes a gluten free version? Broccoli Rob (sp?)--I don't think I have ever had it....don't know if they sell it around here either!

  27. I also prepared it at my home and added so much chilly powder and turmeric powder because I likes its test so much.
