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…
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…
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…
Rotisserie Chicken Soup with Italian Meatballs
This recipe is for someone who has some time to spend. Even though it’s cooked from a rotisserie chicken, there are a few steps to making this pot of goodness. My favorite time to make soup is the winter months. In addition to using an already cooked chicken, I make little Italian meatballs (a twist…
Toasted Honey Pecans/Arugula Salad
I got a jar! I got a jar of honey and I am so excited! My friend Ellen is a keeper of bees and makes honey every year and I am one of the lucky ones to reap some of the rewards. She also gave me this mug from when she traveled to Michigan. I…
Andouille Sausage & Egg Scramble
Before I hit the books this morning I wanted to share this meal with you. Since I made brunch for my husband, son, daughter and her boyfriend yesterday, I just wanted a simple egg sandwich today. All I could think about was the one andouille sausage that was so graciously left by my son who…
Thanksgiving! What’s on the menu?
I like the beginning of the fall season when the whether is cool, leaves are falling changing colors. Birthdays, Halloween, and now Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving with my husband’s family – it’s exciting, interesting, eventful, and a whole lot of food. The table is set with soup, appetizers, antipasto, lasagna and turkey with all the fixings. How could…
