Italian Meatballs {Great Big Italian Meatballs}
Italian Meatballs. Great. Big. Italian Meatballs. I’m not sure how it happened but Spaghetti and Meatballs has become an absolute favorite meal for me. And really, it’s all about the meatballs. I like them big and soft and full of Italian flavors like garlic, basil and oregano.

Spring Thyme Green Minestrone
Spring Thyme Green Minestrone Soup. When I looked into the eyes of my beautiful new fridge I saw shelves and drawers overflowing with ingredients that begged for a chance to play nicely together. The result of nonstop cooking for a week straight. Have you seen our March Meatball Madness posts??! When I studied the contents it became blatantly obvious that my fridge and my well-being needed a big pot of soup!

Corned Beef Hash {with Poached Eggs}
Corned Beef Hash with Poached Eggs. Designed for breakfast, hearty enough for dinner, and really great leftover. One benefit of food blogging is that from time to time we have to make a dish more than once. Especially if it’s a holiday themed recipe that needs to get out ahead of time. That’s exactly what happened this year in preparation for St. Patrick’s Day…times three. Yes, we cooked three rounds of corned beef between March 6th and March 17th. One for my New England Boiled Dinner post, one for my office St. Patrick’s Day Luncheon, and one for us to enjoy on St. Patty’s Day.

Braciola {Italian Beef Rolls}
Braciole {Italian Beef Rolls} slowly simmered in spicy Arrabbiata sauce until the beef is fork tender. The filling, comprised of parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, Italian bread crumbs, garlic, toasted pine nuts, and hard-boiled egg, is my loose interpretation of this classic Italian dish.

Chicken Kiev {with Fresh Herbs & Garlic}
I looked out the back door at my fresh herb porch pots, expecting to see various shades of brown with brittle textures. Yet instead I saw a burst of spring-thyme green. Chives. How on earth did this soft herb survive the unseasonably icy and cold winter? It’s a mystery. And a sign. Make Chicken Kiev.

Turkey Meatballs {with Mushroom Gravy}

Now that school is back in session the talk around the office has changed from backyard BBQ’s and poolside picnics to family friendly weeknight meals. These Turkey Meatballs with Mushroom Gravy are simple and delicious.
