Roasted Tomato and Zucchini Tart with Burrata and Basil

I am a veggie addict! I know I post how much I love desserts, but my love for veggies is almost, almost, equivalent to my love for sweets. I eat veggies throughout the day, and with every meal. I think I love basically every vegetable out there…yup…can’t think of one I don’t like right now.

Fall Minestrone Soup

Nothing says comfort food as much as soup does! There is just something so comforting about a warm bowl of soup when you are tired, sick, or on cold days. Fall is here, so I thought that I would use some of my favorite fall ingredients to create a really great fall soup…

JoEllen's Baked Ziti

Pasta has to be one of my all time favorite things to eat! I know, being an Italian girl, that it is in my blood, but I think any person who loves food, loves pasta. With the whole “low carb” craze that hit America, people look at pasta like it is the devil.
