People sometimes ask me what we eat for dinner. They assume it’s only pasta every day. And that’s not far from the truth. There are some days we have fish and some days a stir-fry. The rest of the days there may be pizza or a really fun chicken dish. Like this recipe. The rest [...]

These are what I call REALLY great muffins. Every time I go to get a coffee somewhere, I always crave a blueberry muffin. I have to say that they aren’t as good as muffins you can make at home. Most of the times they don’t have a streusel topping. A great muffin has got to [...]

Lemon Meringue Pie | cakeduchess.com

My dad’s all-time favorite pie was a lemon meringue pie. It’s funny how growing up I really never remember my dad requesting one. But if you ask my mom, she will happily confirm that it was indeed, his all-time favorite pie. Such an American pie to love for a Sicilian immigrant that grew up eating [...]
