Here I go, entering the Blog world for the first time. I want to share some of the great ideas and recipes I often help friends and family with when they are looking for a good "go to " meal or just something different. I will add pictures when available and hope for some feedback from those who choose to read. I love to cook and hope to share recipes with people from far and near. This blog is dedicated to my father Dennis who I can still see stirring a pot of cioppino up in heaven.
