Took the afternoon off. Snowy day here. Perfect for having the oven on and cooking. Invited my bro and mom over for dinner:
Had some leftover scallops and arugula. Pan seared the scallops and served them with the arugula. The peppery flavor of the arugula complements the scallops nicely
I've made this many times,but it's always a favorite. Mozzarella roll filled with fresh tomatoes,basil and garlic. With a drizzle of olive oil
Perfect day for a roast. Balsamic marinated pork loin stuffed with roasted garlic and fresh rosemary. With a cracked peppercorn merlot reduction. Served with marsala braised pearl onions and baby carrots
Dessert was simple. Cranberry pistachio biscotti with some cordials and espresso
Great way to spend a winter's afternoon. Or any day for that matter. Family,good food,good drink and good times...

If you're looking to try something different,Italian cooking (especially home style) is some of the easiest and simplest cuisine out there. It consists of the most basic ingredients and the dishes you can create are amazing. You could do it..It's the food I made when I had my restaurant. If you're interested,I can send along some recipes that are simple yet you'd think it was this involved process. You could make them no problem!!!. The stuffed chicken breasts a few posts above post consist of six ingredients and take no time to make. Yet people think it's this involved recipe that takes hours.
