About

I’m Sam. The recipes here are inspired by a lifetime of Italian home cooking, traditions and all of the things I love most. Any time I have been lost, I have found myself here in the kitchen. My goal is to share seasonal real food recipes for the home cook & their family and create a haven in the kitchen.

How I make my vanilla extract. One of my favorite little things to add to gifts & I always make a little freshyyy for myself. Your friends who bake or like to host will love this one!! Make them now, let them sit for the next few weeks and you’re ready! Apple Puff pastry Cinnamon Rolls. One sheet of puff pastry, no dough. Flaky crunchy outside, soft gooey amazing on the inside. FULL of apples and apple flavors. It’s everything you want for the holiday season and more. October: Blinked & it’s soup season. We reallyyyyyyy leaned in: soup, chili, pho, broth, sauce, more Mac & cheese. + a brand new dessert coming soon & Chicken Scarpariello (on my website sooo underrated!). Let’s catch up Pumpkin Soup (or really squash soup) because you can use ANY squash & this time butternut squash is what I had on hand from the Farmers market. Forgot to show pouring in the cream, but you can use any dairy. Really simple ingredients and recipe & soooo full of good nutritious things. Tastes warm & good for you.
