I love to bake and lately I've been having a lot of fun in the kitchen coming up with easy recipes that involve only a few ingredients, supplies and produce that I already have in my pantry, store-cupboard or fridge. Current times oblige, right? 😉 This is how this classic English trifle with store-cupboard ingredients and frozen raspberries was born! Initially, I planned to make the trifle with strawberries, but the stores had run out of berries 🤷‍♀️ so my husband suggested I use frozen raspberries instead. 

Winter rhymes with cozy, comforting food. And a cheese fondue sure ticks both boxes! A few years ago, I shared my recipe for a traditional French Savoyard Cheese Fondue here on the blog . It's the perfect cheese fondue recipe for entertaining!  But this year, I was inspired to re-vamp and make my cheese fondue a little lighter and easier to prepare. Hence this delicious Camembert cheese fondue, baked in its own box and served on a board of rainbow-colored veg!

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Garofalo®. The opinions and text are all mine. Today's post is inspired by great food and Italian heritage! What's not to love?! Being from Italian descent, I take my pasta very seriously, as you can imagine. That's why I'm super excited to be teaming up with Garofalo® Pasta to share my quick, easy-to-make, but super delicious Farfalle All’Arrabbiata Con Salmone (Farfalle Pasta in a Spicy Tomato and Salmon Sauce).

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Family Celebrations at Publix . The opinions and text are mine. Did you know that September is National Hispanic Heritage Month? For those of you who don't know, “National Hispanic Heritage Month is the period from September 15 to October 15 in the United States, when people recognize the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans to the group's heritage and culture” (source Wikipedia).

I used to get sooo stressed out about last-minute dinner parties. You know, the ones where your sister calls like a hour before, and all of a sudden you have a group of people coming over (midweek) for dinner?! Well, over the years I've learned that life happens and these impromptu dinner parties are bound to crop up now and again. And planning for these eventualities is something I've actually come to embrace!

I'm not a great lover of seafood, but add it to pasta, and I'm front of the queue! For Easter this year, I decided to turn up the volume on my usual seafood linguine recipe with a Bloody Mary inspired sauce , which is great for entertaining and dinner parties over this weekend!

If you din't notice, we're brunching this week ;) And nothing screams winter brunch better than some comfort food, right?! Hence this Panettone chocolate and marmelade tart number. Apart from being totally decadent and delicious, is extremely easy and FUN to make!

Following on from yesterday's Cheese Fondue Party post , here's my go-to French Savoyard Cheese Fondue recipe.  Warning: Delicious and very addictive!! ;)
