Ciao Reader! This is one of those recipes that means everything to me. A 3-generation family dessert, simple, creamy, and full of bright lemon flavor, it’s the one I bring to every summer gathering. And I’m not exaggerating when I say… once you bring it, you won’t be allowed to show up without it again. It’s refreshing, nostalgic, and always the first thing to disappear. Mangia💛, Elena.

Ciao Reader! This time of year always feels like a whirlwind. School programs, graduations, sports, weddings, end-of-year parties… suddenly the month of May turns into one long calendar reminder 😊. Let's keep things simple, quick, fresh, and doable. Even during the busiest seasons, I still believe gathering around the table matters, even if it’s quick, imperfect, and whoever happens to be home that night. Sending love, 💛 Elena. Let's start with a recipe you LOVED this week. This is a great...

Ciao Reader! This is one of those recipes that reminds me how good simple food can be. Tender green beans tossed with olive oil, lemon, garlic, and simple Italian flavors… It’s fresh, bright, and somehow tastes even better after sitting for a bit. This is exactly the kind of dish you’d find on an Italian summer table. I love making this for BBQs, grilled dinners, lunches, or honestly just keeping it in the fridge to snack on throughout the week. It’s easy, make-ahead friendly, and goes with...

Ciao Reader! Juicy, perfectly seasoned shrimp with bold flavor and just the right amount of heat, ready in about 10 minutes. It’s simple and the kind of meal you can throw together on a busy night and still sit down feeling like you made something really yummy. I make this on repeat (kids' request)… and once you try it, you will too. 💛 Mangia! Elena. ⭐️ GET THE RECIPE ⭐️ ⭐️ONE PAN DINNERS HERE ⭐️ 😋Have you tried one of my recipes?

Ciao Reader! Asparagus Salad - It’s fresh, vibrant, and comes together so easily, but tastes like something you’d order at a beautiful little restaurant. The crispy breadcrumbs on top take it over the edge… don’t skip them. Here are some last-minute ideas for your Cinco de Mayo menu! I'm making white chicken enchiladas and street corn dip! Last night we made our shrimp tacos since the kids couldn't decide between that and the enchiladas. Speaking of enchiladas- try the red version sometime!...

Ciao Reader! This first week of May has a little bit of everything: Cinco de Mayo, busy weeknights, and Mother’s Day just around the corner. So I put together a plan that keeps things simple.

Ciao Reader! This one took time! Tres leches has always been one of my favorite desserts, and I wanted this version to be just right, soft, perfectly soaked, and not too sweet, with fresh strawberries in every bite. I tested it again and again until it finally felt like the one. It’s light, creamy, and so special! Let me know when you try it. 💛 Mangia! Elena.
