Strawberry Pie Recipe
This Strawberry Pie Recipe takes me back to when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter. I was huge, uncomfortable, hungry, but didn’t know exactly what I was craving. That’s when my dear husband Luca walked through the door with the most amazing fresh strawberry pie ever! I don’t think he even got a chance…
Bruschetta Recipe
My bruschetta recipe was given to me by an Italian friend who lived in Florida. Bruschetta is an antipasto from Italy, made with roasted garlic toast and ripe tomato topping. Her secret was “cooking” the tomatoes in the sun before serving. So I do the same, making the ripe tomatoes taste even sweeter! But on…

Strudels are very popular among all countries that once belonged to the Austrian-Hungarian empire. The first strudel recipe dates back to 1696. This handwritten recipe can be found in the Viennese City Library. The original strudel pastry is…
Eggnog Recipes
Here are a couple of Eggnog Recipes for next Christmas. One is the traditional with a twist (condensed milk instead of sugar), and the other is a wonderful eggnog pie. Good eggnog cannot be absent at Christmas time. I use sweetened condensed milk instead of sugar for a richer, creamier taste. And, since now we…
Christmas Cookie Recipe
Among all Christmas Cookie Recipes, everybody has a favorite. In our family it’s this one. It blends the tradition with a twist, provided by the Brazil nut and coconut.
