This classic recipe has proved itself time and time again. If soft egg noodles topped with strips of buttery beef and roasted mushroom gravy doesn’t make your mouth water, then I just don’t know what will.
Butternut Squash & Kale Stuffed Shells
Growing up, stuffed shells were always a dinnertime staple. As a kid, those big pasta shells stuffed with cheese and topped with tomato sauce were my idea of the ultimate comfort food.
Sausage, Mushroom and Pea Risotto
A few exciting things happened this week. First and foremost, I launched my newly redesigned site! I call it: Big City, Tiny Kitchen 2.0. For awhile now I’ve been wanting to update the layout and aesthetic of my site. I loved the idea of creating a sleek and simple design allowing my photos and recipes to really shine. It was a week long…
White Bean and Bacon Soup
Today I need soup. Something creamy and comforting. Something to warm me up from this long week of trekking through snow and negative temperatures. And something with just a little bacon, because salty pork cures all. This hearty, delicious and most importantly, warm, White Bean and Bacon Soup hits the mark on all three. This soup has a wonderfully…
Slow Cooker Beef Stew
Nothing says comfort food like a beef stew. It’s rich, hearty, and perfect for cold winter nights. Most stews can be a tedious process, but this slow cooker recipe still maintains those deep, rich flavors, only with less work. After just a little prep, throw everything into your crockpot and…set it and forget it! Give it a few hours and you have a flavorful…
Pear & Brie Grilled Cheese with Fig Jam
Theres nothing better than brie. Am I right? It’s perfect on it’s own, added to a charcuterie board or my personal favorite, melted between two slices of toasted bread. This grilled cheese pairs gooey, tangy Brie cheese with sweet pears and fig jam for a flavor and texture combination that’s out of this world. The trick to grilled cheese is to make sure…
Rosemary, Garlic & Thyme Crusted Prime Rib Roast with Au Jus

Prime Rib can at first seem intimidating to cook, but in all honesty, it’s way easier than roasting a turkey. There’s no brining, stuffing a cavity or worring about burning the skin. Cooking the most tender Prime Rib…
Cauliflower Crust Pizza
Move over kale! There’s a new superfood on the block. This underrated vegetable has gone through a major makeover and is now popping up on restaurant menus all over town. Not only is cauliflower extremely healthy; there is also a surprising number of ways to prepare it. This versatile veggie is an unexpected, but brilliant substitute for gluten and grains….
Walnut Pesto Pasta
This Walnut Pesto comes from the most unlikely place, the NYC staple The Meatball Shop. As a restaurant known for their spicy pork balls and heavy sauces, most wouldn’t assume they also serve a killer lighter fare. I find most pesto a little too salty and dry, but this one goes light on the seasoning, heavy…
BLT Soup
Yep, you heard me right…BLT Soup. This recipe takes all the delicious, savory flavors of a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich and puts them in a creamy soup. Let’s break it down. B: The bacon stays closest to it’s original form. I used very thick cut, applewood smoked bacon. Instead of laying it on in strips, chop into small pieces…
