New York Style Pizza Dough
Once we mastered making Neopolitan-style pizza, we made it weekly. However, being from New Jersey, our family missed the texture and taste of New York style pizza, so I set out to find a good recipe for it. It was about this time that Charlie Anderson was going...

New York Style Pizza Sauce
This is the recipe that we use to make the sauce used on our New York Style Pizza. It is a cooked sauce that has great flavor and works really well on our pizzas. We doubled the original recipe so that we can use an entire 28oz can of whole peeled tomatoes. I make...
Pasta With Garlic and Oil (Aglio E Olio)
This recipe is one of many pasta recipes from Grandma Lucy. I don’t recall ever having it as a kid, but it would have been a favorite for sure if I did. John was going through all of the pasta recipes that have yet to be uploaded when he came across this one last...

Chicken, Broccoli and Sun Dried Tomatoes with Bow-Ties
Mom made this regularly and it was always one of my favorites.
Italian Baked Chicken Cutlets
This has been a regular in our rotation for the last several years. We make these baked chicken cutlets almost weekly but keep them fresh and different by making different "toppings" for them. As I add the recipes for the toppings I will create a link to each of them...
Italian Style Cookies with Sesame Seeds
A Christmas cookie classic! They are best after they sit for a few days, so the flavor really develops. To this day I still love to have one of these with my coffee in the mornings during the holidays!
Bacon Roll-ups
Quick and tasty appetizer that can be made in advance - frozen - removed from freezer and baked.
Old Forge White Pizza
