Hello Thursday! Today is the 16th day of March – just one more day till Saint Patrick’s Day. Let’s face it, aside from the Lenten Journey, Saint Patrick’s Day is the highlight of March. It’s that magical time of the year when we are all a bit Irish here in America. But then again, the same can be said for Cinco de Mayo – when we all embrace our Mexican inner child.

Today is National American Beer Day, Navy Day and Black Cat Day. So raise your glass of Coors and say thanks to those who serve our country at sea. As for the black cat thing, this day was created to spark awareness of the low adoption rate for black cats. Personally, if Hubby weren’t allergic to cats, I’d have a black cat. These are beautiful creatures. And just for the record, black canine also face a similar adoption problem. So it’s not totally a superstitious over Black Cats.

The flavors are intense, yet these pork chops take almost no time at all to prepare. The Balsamic added a beautiful depth to the finished sauce. And if you are a fan of garlic, be sure to eat the soft bulbs right out of the sauce. Yum!
Scallopini Sunday Supper
I gotta tell you, when I was originally putting this together, it was going to be all about the Pork Chops. But then I realized this is a lovely Sunday Supper and all I needed to make it complete was to share a few more recipes. How perfect!
Continue reading “Scallopini Sunday Supper”Mushroom Pork Chops Marsala
Marsala dishes, like Picatta dishes, are interchangeable – that is chicken, veal or pork will work in either. My favorite Piccata is veal, for no other reason than veal was my introduction to Piccata, with chicken as a close second since that was the first Piccata I ever cooked. Although I must confess, the Pork Piccata is also delicious as part of my fabulous Six Course Italian Supper. Then again, the buttery-lemony sauce with a kiss of wine that gives Piccata its unmistakable signature goodness works well with fish such as Dover Sole. Oh let’s face it, I like Piccata.
Company’s Coming? Then It’s Slow-Cooker Pork Ragù
This is a great meal. Not something you throw together in the crock pot on your way out the front door in the morning, it does need a little prep work and some tending toward the end, but still you’ll have plenty of free down time. I love down time – it let’s me clean the kitchen and set the table and do all sorts of domestic things before supper time including selecting a nice bottle of wine.

Summer is almost here. Tomorrow is the official first day of summer. Are you ready for all the fun of the season? I don’t know about you, but the last thing anyone wanted to do around here was to be stuck in the kitchen cooking. No, truth be told, a bowl of Huckleberry Ice Cream sounded like the perfect solution.

Vesuvio Grilled Pork and Potato Skewers
For those of you that have been following along for a while, this beautiful recipe might just seem familiar. Way back in July 2018, I shared with you two beautiful menus for Entertaining with an Italian Flare. Vesuvio Grilled Pork was part of the Secondo and Contorno Courses.
Herb Rubbed Italian Pork Roast Bursting with Flavor
This recipe was inspired by Italy’s popular Porchetta; a savory pork roast originating in central Italy. Unlike the “authentic” Porchetta, the fatty pork roast has been replaced by a leaner cut, the tenderloin. While this rendition will not develop the same brown crust of the fatty pork butt traditionally used throughout Italy, the leaner tenderloin is still well-spiced and delicious.

Here it was the weekend, when I finally have time to putter in the kitchen and enjoy one of my favorite pastimes – cooking. Wouldn’t you know it? I woke up that morning feeling drained – head pounding, body aching – just generally yucky. After spending most of the day curled up on the sofa, editing and scheduling posts written throughout the week, I decided enough was enough. Wallowing in my misery was making me down right miserable. There were pork chops calling to me and a new “simple” recipe to try.

Genoa Style Stuffed Pork Loin Roast
Although this particular recipe didn’t originate in Genoa, the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, the Genoa influence is unmistakable. It is as colorful as the city itself. This hilly Italian community with breathtaking views of the Italian northwest coastline, is also a window into authentic Italian life. The city’s narrow streets are crammed with family-run restaurants featuring local fresh seafood and the region’s famous specialty: pesto. Without question, pesto is one of the easiest things to make, so be sure to create fresh pesto for this wonderful stuffed pork roast.
