Chicken Rice a Roni

Posted by Christopher 1 Comment

Chicken Rice A Roni

My kids, like most kids, really enjoy Rice A Roni. If you let them, they will eat this as a meal all by itself. I certainly would have when I was younger. Or last week! Don't judge! But, what do you do if you don't have any on hand in the pantry, but you have some plain rice? Unfortunately, cooking up plain rice is not going to work, because in my opinion plain rice just isn't tasty by itself. ...

Chicken Tortilla Soup

Chicken Tortilla Soup.

This is my chicken tortilla soup recipe. Way back when we were still dating my wife Jaime and I took a vacation to Florida to stay at my parents town home in Orlando. We were still living in the north back then, prior to our move to South Carolina. While there, we decided to go try a place we saw by the name of Cracker Barrel. It just so happened that their soup of the day that day was chicken ...

Indian Butter Chicken

Posted by Christopher Leave a Comment

Indian butter chicken.

Indian Style Butter Chicken serves as a pretty simple way to try some Indian-style food.  The chicken is combined with a rich, spicy and creamy tomato-style sauce spiced a bit differently than would be a perhaps more familiar Italian style tomato sauce. Indian Butter Chicken is similar to chicken tikka masala, but is way easier to implement. I started making this about a year ago for my wife. ...

Garlic Infused Olive Oil

Garlic infused extra virgin olive oil.

My father loves to buy garlic infused olive oil at the various Italian stores he has access to up where he and my mother live in New York. Down here in South Carolina it seems to be a little more difficult to find. One day I wanted to have some garlic infused olive oil to use on a grandma pizza pie I was making, so I decided to go ahead and just make what I needed. I used fresh garlic cloves, ...

Italian Beef Braciole

Posted by Christopher Leave a Comment

Beef braciole in marinara sauce.

Winter holiday time is really my favorite time to cook. The weather gets a little chillier, the food gets a little heartier. One thing I don't make much during the warm months is the all day slow cooked Sunday tomato sauce with meat. Well that changes once the Fall arrives. And when I decide to cook the Sunday sauce, Italian Beef Braciole is definitely going on the menu. My family and I are big ...

Sciortino’s Trattoria – A Taste of New York City in Greenville, South Carolina

Posted by Christopher Leave a Comment

Sciortinos Front Entrance

There is certainly no shortage of Italian restaurants in Greenville, South Carolina. My wife and I have sampled quite a few of them over the years, including Giovanni's, Davani's, Da Vincis, Milanos, Capris, Trio, and the now closed Pasta House. Unfortunately, while some of these restaurants did a fine job of serving up some delicious Italian food, none of them really spoke to us as being a place ...
