In 2020, like most of us stuck at home during quarantine, I needed something to do. A friend asked me to share a recipe on TikTok—and I didn’t even know how to work the app! So I called in my son, who was happy to point the camera and hit post. Five videos in, I shared my Stick of Butter Rice recipe… and the rest? Well, let’s just say it’s been viral casseroles and cozy comfort food with my Italian influence ever since!

Now, I post daily across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, and Amazon Live—sharing easy, saucy, no-fuss meals for real life as well as my authentic Italian family recipes! Whether it’s a three-ingredient dinner, a one-pot wonder, or a slow cooker meal that does the heavy lifting, my recipes are made to feel like wins—no matter how busy your day is.

My goal? To make cooking feel doable and fun. Whether you’re here for weeknight inspiration, Sunday meal prep ideas, or something indulgent to feed a crowd—you’ll find it all here. My signature style is simple, flavorful, and always real (just like the name says!).

Thanks for being here. Grab a stick of butter and let’s make something delicious together.
