I'm Back!

Hey Guys!  I am back from a crazy month that included a magical trip to Disney World and a lot of work at school and Kean.  I plan on keeping this blog more up to date, so please spread the word and check back regularly.  Thanks to all those who have given me some lovely feedback about my projects and recipes.  I hope you all had a great Passover and a happy Easter!  ~Jeanine

Italian Artichoke

This is a recipe handed down from my mom. 

1 Artichoke
1/2 cup Italian Breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Grated Romano or Parmesan Cheese
Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Dried Basil
Olive Oil

1. Cut the stem off and trim the tips of the leaves.  Turn the artichoke upside down and push on it to open the leaves for stuffing.
2. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl and pour over artichoke.
3. Place in a pasta pot with about two inches of water on the bottom to allow for steam.  Drizzle olive oil on op and place lid on pot. 
4. Cook for 45 mins or until artichoke becomes soft.

Roasted Veggies

So simple.So delicious. 

Every Sunday I roast my veggies for the week. I usually get three small eggplants and one zuccinni.  I dice them into 1-inch pieces and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.  I place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Bake at 475 degrees for approximately 45 mins.  Halfway through toss the veggies to ensure proper cooking.  I store them and use them as side dishes or main courses such as my veggie-lasagna. 

Enjoy~Jeanine
