How to Make Maggiano's Italian Marinara Sauce

My grandfather owned a restaurant in Boston many years ago. I still remember standing on a chair in his kitchen as a small child watching him peel the tomatoes and dice the onions and garlic to make marinara sauce. We'd hang out in the warmth of the kitchen while the sauce simmered, and as the "official taste tester" I'd get to have a small bowl of sauce with fresh bread to dip into it. I often needed another bowlful just to be sure it was good before I declared the sauce, "ready." Fond memories of a happy childhood.

I still have some secrets learned from my grandfather's kitchen and enjoy making traditional family favorites. Only now, its my daughter who stands on a chair to watch. I was happy to discover that Maggiano's Italian Marinara Sauce is very close to the sauce my grandfather taught me. Give it a try and pair it with your favorite pasta, a salad, a some crunchy garlic bread for a hearty Italian dinner.

How to Make Mimi's Cafe Fish Tacos

My husband and I met in Paris. Sitting in a french bistro-style restaurant, like Mimi's Cafe, reminds me of weekends in Paris. We'd spend hours sitting at a cafe with our espresso, reading the newspaper and watching the people pass by. Most often, we were hanging aroundwhile our clothes were at the laundromat. Even in Paris, one must get chores done.

Mimi's Cafe Fish Tacos bring me right back to those days - simple, hearty meals served curbside at a bistro. Always made fresh and with the best ingredients.

How to Make Chili's Shanghai Wings

When we lived in the city, I could order hot wings from at least 6 different restaurants and they'd be delivered within 20 minutes. All I had to do was dial the phone and I could get boneless, traditional, sauces with different "heat" ratings. You name it, they'd deliver it! Now we're in the country and delivery service is non-existent. We still crave hot wings, but now I make them myself.

Every so often I like to whip up a batch of buffalo wings. My family prefers the boneless style, so I was thrilled to try this recipe for Chili's Shanghai Wings. They're made from chicken breast filetsand are coated with a ginger-citrus sauce - it's tangy with just the right "heat."
