This dinner-time staple gets a much needed update with the addition of BACON and a zesty sauce! Maybe it’s hard to believe, but I have NEVER made meatloaf prior to this attempt!!! I KNOW, how is that possible? Well to be honest, I don’t really like meatloaf…or other foods that have the name “loaf” featured…

I love to cook, and trying new recipes are my jam...especially when I can change something to make it "better".
In my spare time I work in accounting at a wholesale growers nursery, I volunteer as a firefighter and EMT for the Halesite Fire Department , I'm the President of the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians (LAOH) Div. 4-Huntington, and sometimes I sleep.
Seven Quarts Tavern
A charmingly cozy atmosphere with a terribly tempting menu….what could go wrong? My most recent visit to Seven Quarts Tavern this past weekend was not my first; I’d been several times before and always enjoyed myself…but after this establishment changed ownership about a year ago, the reviews I was hearing about what had been a…
BiVio Risorante
Directly translated from Italian, “BiVio” means “fork in the road”..I prefer the fork in my hand while I’m eating something delicious! For more years than I can actually keep track of, BiVio has been our Valentine’s Day spot. It doesn’t scream “romance”, they don’t have a ridiculous themed dinner, nothing like that, it’s just, for us, become tradition. We had our first Valentine’s day dinner there when we had only been…
Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard
Having heard great things about this place (and more importantly, being right down the road from it at the Riverhead Ciderhouse), I was super excited to stop in for a taste. When you’re headed out East from the West, this would be your first Vineyard along Sound Ave. and given that during the season, the…
RECIPE – Salsa Cream Cheese Rollups
This is one of my most requested appetizers…and until a recent bright idea, it’s been one I’m always hesitant to make. This requires “strained” salsa, and I’d been using this tiny juice strainer. It was tedious and took forever. Recently I had a thunder-clap moment, and realized I could strain in seconds using cheesecloth!! BOOM!…
Fiorello Dolce-Happy Valentine’s Day!
“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” ― Charles M. Schulz When Valentine’s Day falls on a Thursday, it means work work work. SO I thought I would be nice and bring my coworkers some sweet treats to numb the pain of a work week not quite finished. After…
The Riverhead Ciderhouse
Winter on the East End doesn’t mean the fun is over…in fact, it just means LESS TRAFFIC on 25A and Sound Ave! A fire department installation dinner in Riverhead may not sound like the best idea in the world (when the department in question is located in Western Suffolk), but let me tell you…waking up…
RECIPE-Super Bowl Sunday Buffalo Chicken Dip
Or honestly, anytime dip…it’s the American way. Ok so I could eat this DAILY with a spoon, and I have a few friends who agree. But when I think football, obviously wings are the quintessential snack….they just so damn messy, especially if you’re eating them in public! So the Buffalo Chicken Dip saves the day,…
Hello Friday, wine not?
A bottle of white, a bottle of red, perhaps a bottle of rosé instead. It’s my husband’s 38th birthday, so we pre party by getting into a bottle he was gifted at Christmas…a 22 year old Cabernet Sauvignon, from Chateau Montelena. Just another Friday night right?? WRONG!! This wine is the real deal, and as…
RECIPE-Lemon Dijon Horseradish Salmon
Another quick and easy dinnertime win, that tastes like you spent hours slaving… • 2 lb. salmon fillet • 1 lemon (halved) • 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard • 3 Tablespoons Holy Schmitt’s Horseradish • 1 Tablespoon McCormick’s Lemon Butter Dill sauce • 1 Teaspoon dried dill • 2 Tablespoons capers • ¼ cup Holland House…
