A soft, spiced carrot cake layered with silky cream cheese frosting, delicately sweet and perfectly balanced. Each bite brings together warm notes of cinnamon, tender carrots, and a rich, tangy creaminess, finished with a light, festive touch that makes it as beautiful as it is comforting. A true Easter centerpiece—fresh, nostalgic, and irresistibly indulgent. 

I love soups when it starts to get colder outside and I’ve been wanting to make a creamy roasted tomato soup for a long time; it is easy and delicious.

These citrus ricotta cookies are incredibly soft, tender, and perfectly chewy with a bright burst of fresh citrus and coconut flavour. Creamy ricotta keeps the cookies moist and pillowy, while the citrus adds a refreshing zing that balances the sweetness. Light, fluffy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, they’re the perfect treat for any season but especially at Easter when spring is about light and fresh.

Cuzzupe are traditional Easter cookies from Calabria, Italy. Originating in a region that was once quite poor, these simple, moderately firm treats became especially cherished by children—particularly when adorned with sugar and, if they were fortunate, a few colorful sprinkles. Their dry texture makes them ideal for dipping into a warm cup of caffè latte in the morning.

We love a sandwich and salad for dinner, especially if they are hot sandwiches.  This pork sandwich is sweetened with Marsala wine.  Marsala can be sweet or dry and is produced in the Italian city Marsala in Sicily.  In Italy I can get “Marsala al Uvo”, which translates to Marsala with egg. 

Crisp, golden biscotti infused with bright citrus notes, delivering the perfect balance of zesty freshness and satisfying crunch. Made to be dunked, they come alive when paired with your favorite coffee, making every bite a cozy Easter indulgence.

My family loves meatloaf!  What I love is that I can hide any kind of veggies and they eat them without complaining.  Today I made a batch of my Vegetable Purée which infuses the meatloaf with broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, onions and pepper.  The vegetable purée makes the meatloaf lighter and healthier for us as well as make it really moist.   

I use different versions of vegetable purée in my meatloaf recipes, to thicken soups, in lasagnas or a skillet pasta.  The vegetable can be roasted then puréed with broth or cream or can be cooked in vegetable broth then puréed once cooked. 

Roasted until golden and crisp, these potatoes and Brussels sprouts are tossed with smoky bacon for a dish that’s bursting with savory flavor. Cheese added at the end make these very cheesy too!  Every bite is packed with smoky flavor, crispy edges, and rich savory goodness—simple ingredients turned into a comforting, crowd-pleasing favorite.
