Sausage Eggs Potatoes Giambotta

Monday, December 15, 2014
In every Italian household we would have leftovers, and make it for breakfast or another meal for Sunday dinner we called Giambotta.

Although giambotta is really a stew in Italian with eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, potato, onion, tomatoes, garlic, basil, and olive oil are common ingredients and usually served as a main course, or alongside grilled meats, such as sausage or swordfish, pasta, polenta, or rice we do a breakfast version with all kinds of additions to eggs.

Whisk up some eggs and just about anything you have in the refrigerator goes into the pan and with the addition of fresh cubed tomatoes, you have a breakfast stew of sorts.

Meats, potatoes, cheeses, onions, and just about anything else your little heart desires.

The sausage peppers and potatoes were our classic favorites and like a big frittata.

Remember to use only Authentic Italian crusty bread when making a giambotta sandwich never American bread.

Chicken and Chickpea Tagine with Pasta

Thursday, November 6, 2014
Chicken and Chickpea Tagine with Pasta is a braised style stew with pasta, a little change with the flavors but a great weeknight meal that's super tasty.

Boneless chicken thighs are what I use in our recipe and it's tweaked quite a bit from the original recipe with a blend of more Italian spices added.

For those who don't like some of the spices we use, adapt to your own taste, we do like the addition of cinnamon and ginger in this dish.

The chickpeas give it a nice addition to the sauce along with some raisins and then over a dish of rice or your favorite pasta a very hearty meal.

Then as much or little spice to taste for the perfect weeknight meal or even hosting a dinner party this meal really goes a long way in feeding a crowd.

No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie tastes just like a dessert that you’d order at a restaurant and can be made in no time with just a few ingredients.

Our pie is made with cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter, whipped topping (or use real whip cream sweetened) chocolate, or graham cracker crust and we use hot fudge and peanut butter cups for garnishing.

What can be easier than this no-bake peanut butter pie that's ready in around 1 hour just to refrigerate until firm.

My favorite way is to use a premade chocolate crust however graham cracker crust is delicious also.

This pie is mixed in with a fluffy whipped topping to give you the creamiest slice of Peanut Butter no-bake pie ever.

Our decadent rich pie goes a long way also since a small slice is all you need to serve your guests but again this pie is so easy peasy to make.

Drop dough by rounded teaspoon onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart, mold them with your fingers dipped in flour to be perfectly rounded and slightly flatten with finger tips.

Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, or till set in the middle of the cakes.  Cool completely on wire racks before filling.

To make the filling, beat cream cheese and butter together on medium speed until well blended. Add sugar and spices, fold in chips.
Fill each  cooled whoopie pie with filling and sandwich together.
