Roasted Bell Peppers & Goat Cheese Sandwiches

Since the Avocado & Goat Cheese sandwiches were such a hit, I thought I would share this recipe by Ina Garten that I make often for Tony & me. I use a French Baguette instead of Ciabatta and I also like to toast my halves a bit too. I also omit the onions myself and usually make the sandwiches open faced, but this is the recipe as Ina makes it. You could probably add the onion slices to the marinating peppers too, bet that would taste good. This recipe may sound time consuming (with… Continue

Quesadilla Salvadoreña (Salvadorian Coffee Cheese Cake)

This Salvadorian Coffee Cake is one of my top favorites. It has many versions on how it's made but the main ingredient is Parmesan Cheese. Some make it with cornmeal and it creates sort of this incredible cornbread texture with a nice sweet corn and Parmesan flavor. Others add sour cream or cream, but this version is just as good, very tasteful and you can taste the…

Raspberry Cheesecake Delight

For cheesecake lovers, this is one that never fails, its sweet taste is very light and has a creamy texture. Although it might look very sweet, it's not at all because it's made with Splenda sugar IF you choose to use Splenda and the topping has a tangy taste, which makes it an incredible combination!

Super-easy, super quick, super-delicious Enchilada Chicken

A brief story...

So, the other day I picked up my son from school and headed for the supermarket to buy that night's groceries. The evening before I'd roasted a chicken and had a more than half of it leftover. Walking the aisles, I started picking up ingredients and put together this impromptu dish. It turned out to be extremely tasty. So good, in fact, that my 4-year old son, Rocco, had seconds. When he asked me what it was called I told him the first thing that came to mind...… Continue
