Ready-in-a-snap breakfasts like Baking Dish Frittata and Crab Cake Benedict

Lazy summertime lunches like her tried-and-true Down the Shore Smothered Corn Cobs

Warm and cozy meal staples like Roasted Red Peppers and Italian Wedding Soup

Late-night munchies such as Homemade Truffle Popcorn and Adult Root Beer Floats

Italian American classics done Caroline’s way, like her famous Taylor Ham (not to be confused with pork roll) & Cheese Sandwich, Slow-Braised Braciole, Deep Dark Chocolate Pudding Cake, and, of course, Sunday Gravy

 
Along the way, Caroline shares entertaining behind-the-scenes stories and helpful tips and tricks to making your kitchen, and home, a place for getting the most from what’s on hand, embracing the messy side of life, and celebrating all things big and small.
