You probably already know how much I love Italian Sausage. It’s my #1, go to comfort food. So it’s not surprising that this is one of my favorite soup recipes. It’s similar to two other
Saucy Balsamic Tomatoes! So simple and SO good. When I was looking for the recipe for Salmon with Savory Lentils I found another Barefoot Contessa salmon recipe that was served on a bed of quickly
There are so many possibilities when you have a big pan of roasted vegetables. You could put them over pasta, rice, couscous, or polenta for a quick and easy dinner. Fold them into a piece

Butternut Squash and Spinach and Leeks and Cheese = Awesome Veggie Lasagna! These are some of my favorite flavors to put together. I have at least 4 different squash lasagna recipes pulled out of magazines
Panzanella – Tomato and Bread Salad! When summer gives you gorgeous, juicy, ripe tomatoes, first make a BLT and then make this amazing salad. Panzanella started in Italy as a way to use up stale
Nothing says summer to me like fresh basil. Living in Florida, I have pots of it growing on my patio most of the year, but basil never really gets going for most of the country
Shrimp Scampi. Buttery, garlicy goodness. For some reason, shrimp scampi in most restaurants comes with a ginormous mound of pasta in cream sauce. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all for pasta and especially all
