About Me

I'm a freelance writer who loves to cook and eat! Writing about food (along with a few other things) keeps me hungry and ready to try all sorts of new recipes.

I credit my love of cooking, baking, entertaining, and dining to my Italian immigrant family who is also passionate about all things food!

Visit my blog, Grab a Plate, (http://www.azgrabaplate.com/) where I share my love of food, recipes and bites in between.

You can follow me on Twitter (@AZgrabaplate) or stop by and "Like" my Facebook page! https://www.facebook.com/Grabaplate

  • Brussels sprouts are among us, so save the berries and whipped cream for the summer, and make savory waffles with ham, cheddar and Brussels sprouts, instead. They’re perfect for a special family breakfast or holiday brunch.  
  • Serve Mussels Marinara when the weather just starts to turn chilly. It’s sort of like eating a hearty soup with just the right warmth for a fall meal, but it won’t weigh you down. I love sopping up the warm garlic-studded broth with garlic...
  • Served on crunchy bread and piled high with ingredients, Spicy Tofu Banh Mi is a great sandwich to enjoy on a leisurely afternoon. Whether you spice it up or dial it down just a bit, this is a filling sandwich you can really wrap your hands around.
