Sicilian cannoli is the best dessert on Earth in my humble, Sicilian opinion. It's easy to make, absolutely delicious, and everybody loves it. My Mom's grandparents originally came from Sicily and this recipe is straight from our family's cook book. I've made it at least a hundred times over the years. Even after visiting Sicily I think our cannoli filling is the very best. Get those store bought shells and focus on the filling. Mangia!

Cheesy Gnocchi with Squash and Kale is a perfect fall comfort food. This has been in my cold weather recipe rotation for years. It's filling, cheesy, vegetarian, and easy to make. Buy pre-cut squash to make things simple.  Costco's got seasonal pumpkins and bats ravioli to get you in the Halloween spirit! The price is just $8.99 for two 16 oz packages. The ravioli are filed with ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan and asiago cheeses. They'd be DELICIOUS with a simple butter & parmesan finish or topped with marinara sauce but I wanted to get creative and keep their colors intact for spooky effects. Try the pumpkins and bats with lemon & butter sauce or grab Costco's butternut squash pasta sauce for an autumnal meal. Get your spooky, seasonal, and EASY meal underway throughout October or on Halloween before you dig into the candy!  I was just in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA for a visit. One of our city's greatest culinary contributions are Pittsburgh Salads which are LOADED with toppings and french fries! These salads are a full meal and include veggies, meat, cheese, garlic bread, fries, and anything else you'd like to add. The finishing touch comes from buffalo chicken, grilled steak or shrimp, or even sriracha tofu!  What more can we say or read about Covid-19, staying at home, and how our lives have changed? I've never eaten or cooked at home so much in my entire life. While it's not easy to find chickpeas in grocery stores these days I eventually did. This recipe patiently waited until that lucky day and it was worth the wait! The next time you can get your hands on 30 ounces of chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans) you've got to make these sweet potato & chickpea bowls. For more recipes like this one check out the recipes page. This recipe is perfect! It's got warm and cool ingredients, smooth, soft, and crunchy textures, and it's super nourishing. It requires only ONE cooking step, roasting the seasoned sweet potatoes and chickpeas in the oven, and you're done. These sweet potato & chickpea bowls make a great lunch or an outdoor dinner for a warm day. You could even set up an assembly line of the toppings and let your hungry friends and family build their own bowls. I found the recipe in Bon Appetit Magazine's March 2020 edition and made a few modifications of my own.  Sweet Potato & Chickpea Bowls {Recipe} |
