Ina Garten’s ‘Cooking for Jeffrey’ Proves Food Is Love [REVIEW]

Obviously, we’re not alone when it comes to that sentiment. That’s why Ina Garten’s latest cookbook, Cooking for Jeffrey, features all the recipes her doting hubby loves most, and now she’s sharing them with the rest of us.

Moroccan Pork Loin with Blackberry Glaze [RECIPE]

Pork tenderloin is the leanest part of the pig, and therefore one of my favorite cuts to serve my family since we’re watching our fat intake. On its own, however, the meat doesn’t have a lot of flavor, so the seasonings used in this recipe really give it the burst of flavor it needs. The best part about this dish is that it tastes like you worked on it for hours, yet it’s one of the simplest stove-to-table suppers around. Enjoy!

Vibrant and savory, I like to serve our Chardonnay and Herb Dressing poured over a green salad as the perfect introduction to my favorite pasta dish, Penne with Italian Chicken Sausage and Fennel. It’s also yummy used as a dipping sauce for crusty bread. Continue reading “Chardonnay and Herb Dressing [RECIPE]”

Penne with Italian Chicken Sausage and Fennel [RECIPE]

Serve this recipe if you want to impress your guests. It is fairly simple to make, stretches to feed a crowd, and will have your friends and family raving for days. From the moment I put this recipe together for the first time, I knew it was going to be a keeper. The fragrant aroma alone is enough to make mouths water. And that first bite… heaven! Serve it up with crusty Italian bread, seasoned olive oil (I like to blend Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to make a simple dipping sauce), a large tossed salad and your favorite bottle of wine and you have a meal fit for a fine Italian restaurant or a house full of really hungry friends. My guests love this one so much I’ve had to add it to my repertoire, and my guess is you will too. Enjoy! Continue reading “Penne with Italian Chicken Sausage and Fennel [RECIPE]”

Turkey Meatloaf [RECIPE]

I love meatloaf, but have never really liked turkey meatloaf until this recipe. Other recipes simply tasted like turkey, and for those of us who have a hankering for beef, I typically don’t see the point. But this recipe is a different story! Packed with rich, delicious flavor, no one would guess it isn’t made from beef. It makes a ton, and you can definitely cut the recipe in half, but you might regret you did. This is one recipe you’re going to want leftovers of because they taste even better the next day put on bread with a smidge of mayo and a sprinkling of fresh cracked black pepper. Mmm, so good!
