…Sauteed broccolini is one of my favorite vegetables. This version, tossed in a warm citrus vinaigrette and dusted with red pepper flakes is my vegetable side of choice these days. I can’t get enough of it.
Small florets sit atop long, thin stems, that’s how you know you’ve gotten your hands on some broccolini. Ready in less than 15 minutes, this easy and healthy side is packed with flavor and it even got a thumbs up from picky eaters. I deserve a trophy.

This one is for my Momma. It isn’t anything terribly exciting, just damn good. This is the only meal that my Mom actually asks me to cook for her when I’m home and I am more than happy to oblige. For me, there is no meal more soul-satisfying than roast chicken.
It is without a doubt, my favorite meal. I could have it every week and never tire of it.
The way the house smells when it is in the oven, the sound of the skin sizzling (which is exactly what I’m listening to as I write this…) makes my mouth water knowing that in a few moments when it is on my plate, I will sink my teeth eagerly into the perfect bite.
The crunch of the super crispy skin, the fat oozing out and coating my tongue. This is sublime satisfaction… the look of complete and utter joy on my face.
THIS is the meal you serve to the ones you love.
