When we came back from vacation we found the largest zucchini EVER in our garden. I didn’t feel like setting up the whole dredging station and frying up the zucchini, but I did love the idea of zucchini parmesan. I wondered if this would work on a sheet pan like a deconstructed lasagna. It was worth a shot and I am glad I took it! Recipe-ish below! Follow @dishitgirldina for more everyday #dishspiration 3 tbsp olive oil 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 tsp kosher salt 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional) 1/4 tsp black pepper Whisk together and set aside. 2 large zucchinis, sliced into 1/16 inch rounds kosher salt 1/3 cup Italian style bread crumbs, divided 1 cup shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese 3 tbsp parmesan cheese, divided 3/4 cup tomato sauce fresh basil Prep the zucchini by slicing into thin rounds, if using a mandoline 1/16 inch is the setting I used. Place the zucchini rounds in a colander and sprinkle with kosher salt. Let them sit for about 30 minutes, this will help draw out excess water. After 30 minutes, lay out the zucchini slices on a paper towel and pat dry. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly brush the parchment paper with the olive oil mixture. Then layer on half of your zucchini rounds, about 3 or 4 across, overlapping each round and each row below. I did 5 rows. Lightly brush some of the olive oil mixture over the layer of zucchini rounds, then sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs over top, and 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese, and 1 tbsp of parmesan. Then add another layer of zucchini rounds, overlapping the same way. Sprinkle remaining breadcrumbs over top. Then spread tomato sauce over top evenly. Top with remaining cheese, and fresh basil. Place in the oven at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, then broil on high for 3 minutes until the top gets brown and bubbly. If you have more zucchini you can repeat the process making a thicker parmesan! #farmersmarketfinds #gardenrecipes #zucchinirecipes #healthyfood #healthyrecipies #sheetpandinner #easyrecipe #easydinner
Fun fact @kevinjonas moonlights as my bartender in the kitchen lol Not having olives on hand ended up being the start of something tasty. Being the resourceful people we are, we used hot cherry pepper juice leftover from a dip I recipe tested in this shaken martini! While I may not have an exact recipe , if your a martini lover or been loving the pepperoncini martini that’s been floating around , this is for you! Also bonus points for wearing a matching shirt while you shake it up! *please note this for 21 , I also do not promote frequent or binge drinking in any capacity. My personal conviction is that a glass of wine or a cocktail is ok, you may feel differently* #vacationvibes #dirtymartini #cocktailsofinstagram #familythateats #dishitgirl
Raise your hand if you love a vinegar soaked Italian “sub” on the beach!!! Because I sure do! I perfected this bread yesterday for the cookbook and it’s going to be a winner. There wasn’t a piece left ! Which is sad because I could go for some today ! On another note, if we can’t agree on “sub” or “hoagie” , maybe we can agree that Tony Bennett will be ever so missed ! #dishitgirl #beachbites #recipetesting #italianstyle
Good morning ☀️! There was a chill in the air this morning hence the fluffy robe, I’m not ready! As I made these stupid easy cinnamon sugar croissants I thought why not share another non propped , non glammed out reel , bc life isn’t always a curated IG reel, especially not first thing in the morning. I did drink a little water before my coffee, so there is that ! Cinnamon sugar always makes me nostalgic, my mom used to make me toast with butter and cinnamon sugar all the time ! Anyone else ? #goodmorningpost #notaninstamom #breakfastideas #easyrecipes #recipesforkids #onmytable
Core memory created! It seems like we can’t shake Sunday dinner even when on vacation! And it was the most comforting thing I could ever dream up! We came back from the beach and a boat ride , entered the house to @angeladeleasa frying up meatballs. The kids, yelled “oooh something smells good in here.” I will forever hear those tiny voices saying that, remember the smell and the feeling. I know it sounds dramatic , but it’s the type of poetry I am down with. That motivates me to keep writing the Kitchen Sink. Share the core vacation memory you stored in your heart below 👇 #dishitgirl #sundaydinner #dinneratthebeach #atthebeach #thekitchensink #dishspiration #italianamericanfood
I am always the most proud when I can repurpose ingredients. And this week I have much more to work with than usual! Today the team made the most gorgeous London broil . Turning it into an open face sandwich with leftover provolone from another recipe made for a quick and delicious dinner. Also, having perfectly minced garlic in your fridge is another treat ! This has been such an overwhelming week in many good ways. We completed the first half of the cookbook shoot and I can’t believe that the photos hanging on the wall are real 💕 hang onto to this idea when you need to repurpose my recipe for London broil ! #dishitgirl #thekitchensink #easyrecipes #londonbroil #sandwhich
Happy Wedding weekend to my not so little anymore cousin @nicolelongo and Happy Birthday!!! 🎉 So looking forward getting together with family to celebrate on of our own in such a big way! I used to steal Nicole to hold her any chance I would get and I would be so proud when she fell asleep, like what a babysitter lol !!! I can’t wait to watch you walk down the aisle and cry all my make up off!!! #vuevebeforevows #familywedding #bridetribe
This morning I picked a bunch of cherry tomatoes from my garden and instantly thought of this recipe. One way to keep your summer cherry tomatoes a little longer, turn them into this sweet, spicy and savory jam. Then make sure to use it to top a thick slice of Italian bread, a crispy chicken cutlet, or with pasta . Now bring on the holiday recipes ! 😍 1 pint cherry tomatoes 2 tbsps balsamic vinegar 1 tsp honey 1/2 tbsp kosher salt 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp red pepper flakes (more if you want it spicier!) Add the tomatoes, vinegar, honey, chilli flakes,pepper and salt to the saucepot. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.As the tomatoes heat up they will blister, press down gently with a spatula to help them burst along the way. Reduce the heat to a simmer and allow to cook for about 30 minutes until the ingredients have thickened and turned into a jammy texture. Remove from heat. Allow to cool and then transfer to a small jam jar or glass container with a lid. Seal and store in the fridge and enjoy as you wish for up to two weeks. #dishspiration #cherrytomatoes #inmygarden #tomatoseason #easyrecipe #gardenrecipes #farmersmarketfinds
We had so much fun last night with our seafood boil! There is truly nothing better than eating this meal beachside with a bunch of friends. Well the expertly made margaritas might have helped too ! @topsailsteamerlbi has buckets ready to order or you can customize them. So much fun and the food was truly delicious. Just order your pot, steam it according to the instructions and go for it ! I am pretty sure they ship through Goldbelly as well! Not an ad, just really enjoyed it! #beachside #steamers #thefamilythateats #summerfun
Giving you a peek into my random lunch vibe ! Anyone else feel like they have lived a full week in between the hours of 7am and 12pm?!! Things I have on hand a lot: Some tortillas type Hummus or Greek yogurt Basil Pesto Chopped veggies like red or yellow peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, anything you have on hand! Balsamic glaze Make sure to season the hummus or Greek yogurt before topping it! Also any picked vegetables are great to throw in such as red onion! How did we feel about this super casual / random reel, haha! I always feel things like this are not valuable or worth posting, however I am always proved wrong! Ok ready to tackle part 2 of today! #onhand #fridgeforaging #lunchideas #easyrecipesathome #easyrecipesformoms #wraprecipes #veggierecipes
This morning I finished reading through Job. I thought it was timely that I read through this book when I did. Job was stripped of everything, and his faith greatly tested. Now, I am not saying I am stripped of everything, but I am sure having my faith tested. However, I do not like using the word tested, it is more like it is being stretched. From being stretched I know it will bring me to a deeper level. The idea of testing makes me feel like there has to be the possibility of giving up and walking away. That is just not an option I am considering. But there have been questions, confusion and fear that has come in waves if I am being honest. I am constantly reminded he is king over the flood, the wind, and waves. I can be still and know he is God. One of my favorite verses has always been Phillipians 4:13, however in this season Job 42:2 has replaced it for the time being. Then Job replied to the Lord:“I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.” I may have to walk an unexpected road regarding my health at this time. Right in the middle of what seems like the time I should have had a more clear path to step forward into the season that had me firing on all cylinders. But perhaps, there is more to learn so I can cast a wider net. The strongest steel is forged by the hottest fire, maybe my armor needed another layer. So to that I say thank you for picking me for the fire. As I am confident that no matter what turn this road takes, all will lead me to your purpose for me, not someone’s desperate plan for destruction. #dishspiration #faithoverfear #devotionaltime🙏 #christianliving #quiettime #atthekitchensink
Whenever I am cooking for myself something like this dish is my go-to! I have a killer cherry tomato recipe going in my book. I also made a version when I was on Guys Grocery Games. This one is a little different. I had tons of cherry tomatoes and different peppers from my garden. I wanted something sweet and spicy. I used a 1 1/2 cups of cherry tomatoes and about 1/2 cup of sliced cherry peppers. Sautéed the cherry tomatoes for 5 minutes then added in the peppers, after another 5 minutes added 1/4 cup white wine and chopped garlic , about 1/2 tablespoon, let that cook down a bit . Added in some chopped herbs, pasta water, and shaved in some provolone cheese ! Which was a real wild card for me , but it was delicious! For a full recipe for the perfect end of summer pasta visit dishitgirl.com or link in the bio.

I realized today that part of why I love Sunday Dinner is the routine. There is a safe feeling that the familiar brings, along with the warmth of tradition. Knowing what to expect lessens anxiety, talking to those around the table can give your brain a much need break . The whole day, from mornings at church to turning in full, planning for the week ahead. Looking forward sharing recipes that will hopefully help you add this scene to your life 💕 #dishitgirl #sundaydinners #atthekitchensink #dishspiration #italiandinner #familystyledinner
Had a nice afternoon in the city this week celebrating Uncle Mikey! Someone felt like big girl getting gelato in the city and visiting her cool uncles bachelor pad! The rest of us had a momentary flashback to our trip to Italy , watching Dad order one gelato after another. Happy Birthday @deleasa we love you 😘 #nyceats #nycicecream #thefamilythateats #goldenafternoon
The Jersey Shore is a place close to my heart. Holding memories with family and friends. There are so many amazing towns and places to eat. I mean you can’t go wrong with a freshly squeezed lemonade and a cheesesteak on the boardwalk! However, here are some favorites from recent years and our first trip to LBI in years! What are your favorite spots?! @redslobsterpot – Brian and I have been visiting Reds for a handful of years. Still one of our fav seafood shacks out of everywhere we have been. We also love stopping at @mudcitycrabhouse before continuing on when we are going further south. @ferrarasbakerylbi truly has one of best jelly donuts I’ve ever had. Their other donuts and stuffed bread are delicious as well! @lbi_shaveice was such a treat! @bgonsar and I have not had legit shaved ice since since going to Hawaii years ago. We have tried places but it is always a let down til now ! @localmarket_lbi not only has delicious coffee drinks, but amazing pop tarts, and great sandwiches to bring to the beach later ! @parkersgaragelbi had a great atmosphere along with green tomato tots, a surprisingly delicious beet salad and bouillabaisse. Don’t miss @tuckerslbi or @wallys_lbi for an amazing breakfast and crumb cake! While @kohrsfrozencustard is the OG of ice cream @skipperdipper was our go while in LBI , I dream of the toasted coconut ice cream ! Also @mallons_homemade_sticky_buns has our heart when it comes to sticky buns and @oceancitycoffee is my fav, I have it shipped to me year round ! #thefamilythateats #dishitgirl #digtravel #jerseyshoreeats #njeats
Take me back to crispy cutlet sandwiches with smoked mozzarella, and roasted red pepper mayo by the beach! If you haven’t given smoked mozzarella a try you are missing out! It can change up your regular caprese salad, give a different spin to a baked ziti, and a grilled pizza , yum! Can’t wait to share the full recipe in the cookbook!😜 What dish is on your list before summer comes to a close ?! #dishitgirl #atthekitchensink #chickencutlets #sandwichrecipe
Sometimes making something good to eat helps get me up and moving. Or sometimes the movement actually helps me read better after I eat when I’ve been down for the count all morning. I made a rustic tomato soup using up some tomatoes I had from the garden, summered them in chicken broth, with scallions. If you have never paired scallions with tomatoes, you must ! I blended it up and returned it to the pot and added a bit of cream. I could have strained it out but I didn’t mind the texture . Yes, my sandwich was a bit unconventional but I used what I had on hand ! I know it seems like a lot of work when your not feeling well. But it did give me a bit of new life ! What is your go to when your feeling low? #dishitgirl #soupseason #tomatosoup
Your sign to grill up more than some burgers this weekend! My favorite veggies to grill are peppers and eggplant slices. I brush a mixture of olive oil , chopped garlic, basil, salt and pepper over top before charting them on each side. The grill temp is at 450, the peppers take about 6 minutes per side, the eggplant is more like 8 minutes. Then I pour the remaining dressing over top of the bowl or platter, my newest addition is breaking up some burrata over top. The leftover grilled vegetables are great to use in wraps over the next week for lunch! #dishitgirl #summerrecipes #grilledvegetables #buratta #farmersmarketfinds #grillrecipes #easyrecipes #todayfood
Just bought a bunch of peaches and you better believe I’ll be stacking myself up one of these babies! Have you ever seen the corn muffin tops ? Siena loves them! Layer on some spreadable Brie, basil leaves, peach slices and prosciutto. Don’t forget to drizzle with hot honey!! English muffins or a thick piece of toast works well too! #quicklunch #peaches🍑 #peachrecipes #easyrecipe #lunchideas
Who doesn’t love a beach or lake house full of family and friends? Some of my favorite summer memories involve crabbing at my uncles house and now our annual family trip . Big batch cooking is a must! Some of my favorites : ☀️sausage & peppers ☀️ eggplant caponata pasta salad ☀️tomato, mozzarella, and pesto pasta salad ☀️Italian “sub” bread ( cookbook recipe 😉) ☀️frozen Prosecco soaked grapes make great ice cubes in a sangria ! ☀️ freshly made burger patty’s! I will give you my recipe tomorrow in stories ! All recipes can be found on dishitgirl.com #dishitgirl #beachbabe #beachrecipes #pastasalad #cookingforacrowd
This video is just as messy as this salad! I am not always, actually most likely, not standing in my kitchen with my hair blown out, with my best Amazon linked outfit. Although I do wonder why my apron has such a weird top now that I look at it. I figured let me just show you what I’m eating for lunch and get over it if you see my cutting board dirty, my actual measuring cup, not my anthropology prep bowls. Although I do love those! Just because this reel doesn’t have the elements to go viral doesn’t mean this recipe isn’t delicious. Just because you saw my measuring cup and I ate from spatula in my messy kitchen doesn’t make me less of person, haha! And same goes for you. Sometimes you are going to nail that effortless outfit vibe, you may finally get your living room to look like a white& beige museum, celebrate that. But sometimes it’s just not that way, and it doesn’t mean you aren’t worth it , your home isn’t worth having people gather, don’t get on that thought train ! Now chop up a bunch of red cabbage, dice up a cucumber and an avocado. And pour this dressing over top. Don’t forget to give it a hit of balsamic vinegar! And maybe next video ill be a little more put together for ya ! 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt 1/4 cup honey 3 tbsp Dijon mustard 2 tbsp olive oil 1/2 cup chopped roasted red peppers, drained 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped 1 tsp kosher salt 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes 1/2 tsp black pepper Add ingredients to a bowl, whisk together vigorously until well combined , pour desired amount over salad. Also makes a great veggie dip! #dishitgirl #atthekitchensink #mommoments #saladrecipe #quicklunch #easyrecipe #veggierecipes #healthyrecipe #crunchysalad #encouragingwords #notaninstamom
Sometimes I really surprise myself at lunch time. Slammed down a pita, slathered it with hummus and my fav roasted eggplant dip from @cava (not an ad). Then I grabbed some Greek yogurt with a squeeze of lemon , pinch of salt. I got fancy making cucumber ribbons with a veggie peeler, chopped up some of Sienas leftover peppers, can’t forget feta or a hit of chili oil. Now that’s making something out of nothing ! I know my reels have been far and few between , but it’s because I’m less a week away from shooting the book and I’ve been putting everything into it while juggling the end of summer/start of school. Oh and then there’s this little thyroid cancer in the mix. But God is good placing so many good things in-front of me to keep me going and not focused on the “what -ifs.” But for now here is my lunch triumph for the day, hope it inspires you when you open your fridge tomorrow! #dishitgirl #fridgeforage #usewhatyougot #somethingfromnothing #halfwayhomemade #pitabread #lunchideas #easyrecipes #healthyish
