A warm and hearty pasta dish could not have been more welcome than tonight - it’s been cold, rainy, and miserable outside. Home-style Italian cooking evokes the robust flavors of the Tuscan region, and more than sates our appetites - it is as delicious to eat as it is beautiful to behold. Buon Appetito!

This recipe looked so good on Simply Recipes that I just had to try it, and I was not disappointed. I modified it a little, using turkey bacon instead of regular, and no dairy products - I used margarine and soy milk in place. Just delicious, and a really mouth-watering side dish. LOVED IT! Enjoy!

Any lactose-intolerant person will tell you that ravioli, traditionally filled with ricotta cheese, is absolutely out of the question. The milk sugar content in ricotta cheese is quite high, enough to cause uncomfortable symptoms, at the very least. Silken tofu comes to the rescue as a filling substitute for ravioli, but it is quite bland [...]

Here’s a soup that is so easy to make, but will taste like it took hours to form. It’s my personalized take on New England clam chowder, but without the clams and the dairy. Ergo, I simply call it hearty chowder. Definitely a homerun for soup fans, like those in my family. Enjoy!

This is an incredibly easy soup to make, comes together quickly, and gets a great flavor from just a little bit of turkey bacon (I like to use turkey bacon because it has much less fat than regular bacon, but it’s big on flavor). Perfect soup for mid-January, in my humble opinion. Or any time [...]

I served this on New Year’s day for brunch, and it was a beloved hit instantly. It makes a great presentation, and you can personalize it with your favorite additions to omelets - experiment.

Here is a quick and easy dish that makes a great side, or serve it next to your favorite soup for a complete meal. I made it with turkey bacon, but I believe you could have excellent results using veggie bacon, too. Creamy flavored and delicious, and, as always, dairy-free. Enjoy!

Polenta, made from boiled cornmeal, is a traditional dish throughout Italy. In this recipe, it is formed into a crust and baked. Then some goodies are added on top of the crust, and the whole dish is broiled for under 5 minutes. The cheese used in this dish is, as always, soy cheese, and adds [...]
