Hi Everyone!!  It has been a while since I have posted!  I hope you are all doing well!  Over the past few weeks I have been experimenting in my kitchen and I made these delicious fish croquettes!  If you are a fan of crab cakes, you will love these!  For these croquettes, I used flounder, however, I am sure they would be just as delicious with salmon, crab, perch, tilapia……whatever fish you would like to try.  The recipe is simple and I am sure your family and friends will approve!

I LOVE pesto and if you do as well, you’ll definitely want to give this delicious recipe a try.  Growing up, my Italian family (on my mom and dad’s side) never ate pesto as part of our traditional Italian cuisine.  The first time I had pesto, it was made by my mother-in-law before my husband and me were even married.  She used fresh basil from her garden along with roasted pine nuts.  She served it over pasta, and it was out of this world!  The second time that I had pesto, other than from my mother-in-law, was when my husband and I were on our honeymoon and we had the most delicious pesto at a pizzeria in Portofino, Italy called El Portico.

If you know me, you know that I love a delicious homemade salad!  Today when I was at the grocery store, I came across some beautiful organic tomatoes and I thought that a tomato and cucumber salad would be a nice change from our very frequent spring green salads.

One of my most favorite things to do is to cook in my kitchen.  There is something about preparing a delicious meal for my family and friends.  But sometimes, especially after a long day at work, I just want to make something that is quick, easy AND delicious.  And if it can be reheated the next day for lunch or combined with eggs for breakfast….well that is a double win!
