I didn’t start making pulled pork until about two years ago. My kids asked me if I could make it. I wasn’t sure about it at first because I hadn’t used my crockpot in years. I first found a recipe with a barbecue base, and then recently started making one closer to the flavor of…

Goat Cheese Stuffed Roma Tomatoes with Prosciutto
When I had my catering business way back when, it was called Marchina’s (named after my three children – Mark, Christian, and Nina). The byline for the business was Simple but Elegant. I had a few items one the menu, and this was one of them. It was hit with all my clients! Roma tomatoes…
Pepper Steak
This recipe reminds me of my mom. She used to make pepper steak with white rice and the sauce would just soak into the rice and make it nice and flavorful. After posting this from my facebook live video, I challenged my 81 year old mom to post her recipe in my comments. Well, we’ll…
Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus
A couple of years ago I started trying new vegetables, partly because my daughter (who is all grown up) introduced most of them to me. Just to name a few; peas, asparagus and brussel sprouts. Oh boy, I definitely didn’t like brussel sprouts when I was growing up. I remember my mom making them (boiled…
Broccoli Rabe with Italian Sausage
My sister-in-law got me hooked on broccoli rabe. She would make broccoli rabe with garlic and oil at Thanksgiving. This could be a meal in itself, cooked with Italian sausage and chicken stock. She would make it so much that I never thought to even ask her for the recipe. When I finally did ask…
Caesar Salad Dressing
Tonight on my live facebook feed I made a steak tip caesar salad – this is something my husband and I like to order form one of our local restaurants on the weekend. I figured, why not make it ourselves this time. I prepped the romaine lettuce ahead of time. Someone once mentioned to me…
Keto Ground Turkey Loaf
I was so tired when I wrote this post in the wee hours of the morning. My apologies for any typos. I’m usually really good about reading what I write, and I promised you in my facebook live video that I would post the information last night. Well, I am here today to let you…
Make ahead Egg Pockets
This recipe was inspired by a KETO recipe I tried a while back when I started KETO. The KETO recipe had cheese and sausage, no vegetables, and was baked instead of microwaved. One thing about cooking, is that you can alter the recipe and experiment with your own tools. You don’t have to stick to…
Mediterranean inspired Chicken
This dish is one of my favorites. I made it with bone in chicken thighs, however it can also be made with chicken tenders, and/or pounded chicken breasts. After unpacking the meat, I washed then patted the chicken dry with a paper towels until it was dry. I season with a garlic and herb seasoning,…
Watermelon Sorbet and Watermelon Lemonade
Hello all!! As I promised from my Facebook Live stream today (https://facebook.com/PamperedChefGentile.lisa54), here is the recipe for the Watermelon Sorbet and the Watermelon Lemonade. Since my daughter cut up the watermelon, there was about half a watermelon still leftover in the refrigerator. Watermelon gets to a point where it starts to dry out and releases…
