One of my favorite comfort foods is mushroom risotto, so when we came home from morel mushroom hunting with a bag of morels, I couldn’t wait to try morel risotto. I happened to have some local asparagus so I added it to the mix.

With a bag of freshly-picked morel mushrooms, I decided to make a morel mushroom and bacon pizza. The subtle earthiness of the morels was a perfect match for the saltiness of the bacon.

This is our take on a shrimp pizza that we had at one of our favorite pizzerias. The creaminess of the avocado is a perfect combo with the shrimp.

This sandwich is easy to make and it’s a great way to use leftover pizza ingredients. I love the fact that my family devours tomatoes (in the sauce) and spinach (in the homemade chicken sausage) without thinking twice.

We made this comfort food lighter by using “half and half” instead of full cream and by eliminating most of the butter. It still has the rich flavors and creamy texture but we don’t feel so guilty after each bite!

This colorful salad of tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil has become one of the iconic foods of Italian cuisine and is a staple in Italy and in Italian restaurants around the world. It is simple to make and the perfect light starter to many meals.

This is a simple meal but your kids won’t even notice that they are eating tomatoes because the lycopene-packed fruits are perfectly disguised in this cheesy, saucy sandwich. And it’s a great way to use the yummy breaded chicken from our Chicken Parmigiana either as a leftover sandwich or as the primary meal.

I like to use the sourdough pizza crust but when I need a crust at the last minute and don’t have time to do the sourdough version, I use this recipe.

This sauce is easy to make and has the nostalgic pizza parlor pizza sauce flavor that is missing from most store-bought varieties. I use it for pizzas, calzones, breadsticks, and pastas.
