Italian Dinner
  Italian Dinner for you by Divadish Kitchens & CateringThis is one of my Sunday's dinners. My parents both were big pasta eaters, but the sauce is what made that pasta just go down so much more. The red sauce was cooked for hours and it was made fresh with all the right seasonings, leftover meats and yes plenty of cheese & wine added to the slow simmering sauce. Just looking at this picture makes me hungry.Now according to my mother we always had to have a salad with every meal, and she fav... Continue reading ...

 Raspberry Chocolate Cake I have always Loved Sweets, even as a kid growing up in New York I would do errands for my neighbors so I could earn extra money to buy a bag of candy @ that time for 5 Cents!

 My mother use to make a big pot of chicken soup at least once a month when we were kids growing up out East.
She would always say it can cure everything, if you are a little anemic, it helps, if you are a little fluish it helps,

No my mother was not Jewish, but she could of been, she had the mannerisms and definitely the hand movements.

 Greek recipes are very delicate combinations of many seasonings that add to it's wonderful flavors..
Because
of that it is a delicacy that not everyone knows how to do well, or at
all, and feels it is well above their knowledge level.
The
Alexander's Greek Chicken is one such recipe, it contains many
processes to get to it's finished state of elegance and juicy
deliciousness, but once there and on your plate you will say it was all
so worth it!

final touch of two large handfuls of Feta cheese on top.
Put into the oven @ 325' degrees and slow back all of this deliciousness for about (2) hours.
