Strawberry Salad with Lemon Dressing
This makes a refreshing change to a traditional salad with lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber & makes a great holiday side dish is you're looking for a lighter option. I love the contrasting flavors of the salad, the bitterness of the arugula and the sweetness of the strawberries.

Pasta with Pumpkin Sauce
We love this recipe because it contains our favorite pasta with a healthy, seasonal vegetable that is perfect for Fall. We add in lots of raw garlic which certainly adds to the flavor of the dish but it also boosts your immune system which is so important during the change of seasons.

Chicken Alla Pizzaiola
This is a fun & healthy chicken recipe that my mom learned from her mom many years ago in Sicily. All you need to do is bread your own chicken tenders & add a pizza like topping. You can always add some cheese on top & don't forget the most important & flavorful ingredient ... Papa Vince Extra Virgin Olive OIL!

Cilantro Lime Chicken
A citrus marinade that is juicy and full of flavor and the longer you marinade your chicken the better it will be. I like to prepare mine the day before and let it sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours, then all I have to do is set it on the grill. I'm sure you could also bake it in the oven or saute on the stove top, whichever is your preferred way of cooking chicken.

Pasta Spezzatino
Pasta Spezzatino is a classic Italian recipe, named after the small cubes of beef. That's what 'spezzatino' means, 'little cubes of meat'. The meat is gently cooked in a rich tomato sauce and served on top of pasta. Traditional recipes add in mushrooms & carrots but my mom & I love garden peas so that's what we use in our family and it's called 'Pasta Spezzatino e piselli'.
