Ciao & welcome to my food blog!! My name is Lisa & I grew up loving authentic Italian fare, being that is my heritage. However, as I expand my travels & restaurant cuisine types, I have found a passion for ALL foods! I intend to share my enthusiasm in this blog with cooking stories, recipes, pictures, and reviews of my eating out adventures! Most of which are done with my husband, Greg! ♥

Classics… refreshed!

The New Year calls for trying new recipes but also re-visiting old ones, (sometimes in new ways). Growing up my mother always made pasta and broccoli, which is a favorite of mine! Honestly though, I didn't come up with this twist on my own.. we actually ran out of pasta and had a box of Israeli Couscous to use instead. I was pleasantly surprised and made me want to try other comfort recipes in a new way!! 

EASY recipe: Boil Pasta or follow Israeli Couscous instructions. Steam broccoli. Saute garlic in olive oil add broccoli and let simmer for 5-10 minutes depending on how firm/soft you like your broccoli. Mix with Pasta/Couscous and top with fresh parmesan cheese mmmm!!!!
