Comfort Food

It's apple season in New Jersey and whether you picked your own straight from a local orchard or purchased some Jersey Fresh apples, it's time to put them to good use.

Temperatures are dropping and the leaves are turning which means that it’s chili season. There’s not a cook or weekend chef who loves beer, America, and football who doesn’t make a decent chili.

Extra zucchini from the garden? This is a great and delicious zucchini bread recipe that is a staple for me in the summer months.

The base recipe for this comes from my good friend, the late Chef Joe Romanowski of Bay Ave Trottaria in Highlands, NJ who used to serve up the popular Mrs. Michelli's Mac & Cheese.

One of the best aspects of living in New Jersey is that you come across so many people who have "the best” recipe for meatballs, sauce, and other Italian dishes.

This chicken and stuffing bake is one of my go-to dinner recipes.

While Super Sunday may be the biggest day for football, it’s also the second biggest day for eating.

Sometimes that perfect comfort meal is all it takes to get through a winter storm.

This chili is the ultimate "comfort food" on a cold, winter day (and, it's great all year 'round).

This hearty all-in-one meal is comfort food that is easy to make.
