Looking for the perfect appetizer to serve at Thanksgiving dinner? Look no further than this delicious mushroom and pancetta crostata. A crostata is an Italian free-form tart that's similar to a savory pie.
Last week, while at my parents house, I was watching an old episode of
Everyday Italian when my mom turned to me and said, "Let's make that cocktail!" With its vibrant color it looked amazing, so we sent my dad to the store to pick up the ingredients. The recipe calls for maraschino liqueur, a spirit that's pretty difficult to find.
When I learned that today is
World Pasta Day, my imagination began to run wild. What should I make to celebrate? The options were endless:
baked ziti; pasta
alla norma;
linguine with white clam sauce.
You know that
Giada's a pro at making everyday Italian dishes and that
Rachael mixes up a meal in a mere thirty minutes, but how much do you really know about the stars of
Food Network? Test your knowledge of the two culinary queens by taking this fun quiz. I'll list a fact or description and you tell me if it pertains to Giada's or Rachael's life.
Every October I look forward to picking out pumpkins. There's a great ranch near my parents house that has a pumpkin patch along with a picnic area and hay rides, so I'm grabbing a group of friends and hosting a picnic at the pumpkin patch! Since we'll be heading out this weekend, I invited everyone by phone.
