The first time I made Greek Chicken and Lemon Rice, it was a total fluke. I was trying to impress a date with my “worldly” cooking skills, but halfway through, I realized I was out of oregano. In a panic, I grabbed some thyme from the garden (don’t ask me why it was growing there; I certainly never planted it), …
There’s something about creamy, cheesy scalloped potatoes that just speaks to my soul. I remember the first time I tried to make them for a family gathering. I was so proud, but you know what? I ended up with a crunchy, undercooked disaster. My gran, with her infinite wisdom and a twinkle in her eye, pulled me aside and said, …

Let me take you back to a chilly evening that called for something heartwarming. I’d heard about Avgolemono Soup, a creamy Greek classic with whispers of lemon and tender chicken. Emboldened by the promise of comfort in a bowl, I set out to recreate this culinary hug. I’ll be honest, it wasn’t all smooth sailing. My first attempt left me …

Let me tell you about the time I swore off making risotto. It was a sticky, overcooked mess and I was convinced it needed a magic touch I didn’t have. But here’s the thing—I couldn’t shake off the memory of the creamy, dreamy risotto I had at a tiny Italian bistro. That dish was a hug in a bowl, and …
There’s a certain magic in the way a simple cabbage soup can warm you from the inside out. I remember the first time I made it, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of simmering vegetables and herbs, and let’s just say it didn’t go as planned. I mean, I underestimated the power of proper seasoning, and boy was it …

The first time I tried making Creamy Italian Meatball Soup, it was a disaster. I mean, I’m talking meatballs tougher than golf balls and a “creamy” broth that was more like a sad, watery sauce. But you know what? I’ve come a long way since then. Now, my family begs for this soup on cold nights, and honestly, it’s a …
The first time I made Sausage Peppers and Onions, let’s just say it was less dinner and more… a cautionary tale. I mean, who knew you could actually burn onions to the point of them being bitter? But, my mom (the saint that she is) swooped in, with her advice and a loaf of Italian bread, turning what could’ve been …
