Peanut Butter Cookies

divadishkitchenscatering.com
Divadish recreated this family favorite by backing out some of the sugars and adding in more Organic Peanut Butter. Of course I used the Creamy kind, you could use chunky I suppose but to me creamy is Best.

The results were superbly little drops of Golden deliciousness.
When you pop one of little Darlings in your mouth your whole Body starts to Quiver with Delight.
Lucky for Me I keep them down in my Commercial fridge or I would be quivering all night.

Making something better for and also making it taste better is what Chef Gianna owner and CEO of Divadish
and everything else Diva likes to do when she steps into her kitchens and begins to cook or bake.
It's Fun to recreate the Wheel. Why Not? what's the Worse that can Happen,it doesn't come out right, or it doesn't taste right, well. you can always throw it away.Or my Dog Travis Loves all my Mistakes, or Imperfects.

I do not have all that many though because when you have cooked as long as I have you can pretty much look at the ingredients and know if it is going to be any good.
But if you are not in that category then you will make a few mistakes at first and finally learn what really does tastes good.

If you do not want to do any experimenting or cooking, or baking,then you just pick up that phone and call Divadish, she will do all of that for you.

COOKING IS MY PASSION... Why not found out for yourself why Divadish is becoming so very popular!

Stews



divadishkitchenscatering.com
Cold weather, makes us do layering.
In the food business it makes us start thinking about Hearty Warm Meals!

The one I have pictures of above is a Italian Chicken Stew served over Bow-tie  Garlic Pasta.
Made with a Red wine red sauce and lots and lots of chicken, carrots, and celery this one served with my crusty bread is a Winner!

It is high in flavor, fiber, anti-oxidants, vitamins, and very LOW in CALORIES....!

I usually put some grated Parmesan Cheese on top to add to the deliciousness.

Divadish offers this  Stew and other Hearty Stews and Soups in (5) quarts or (7) quarts sizes.
They freeze well, and make a whole meal by themselves or add a salad or a sandwich.

Cookies

ALMOND JOY COOKIES:::
                      By
                 Divadish
            Recipe created by
            Chef Gianna

I really Love cookies, because as a kid my Mom and I would dunk them in Milk, it was our special time we spent together, laughing and enjoying each others company.

Now sometimes they were store bought Oreo's or Lorna Dunes, or Fig Newtons, but most of the time they were Home Made.
That's why cookies are always something I have on hand in my cookie jar, or flash frozen to eat later.

The ones pictured are Almond Joy's, I tweaked my original recipe just a bit by adding Coconut syrup 1/3 cup
then adding 1/2 cup slivered almonds crushed into pieces,then the final twist a 1/4 cup of sweetened coconut.

Now of course you could add almond extract to, but I didnot want to for this recipe.
These turned out very noist, with a nice almond flavor, and a little chewy texture because of the coconut.
It was truly like eating a Almond Joy Candy Bar when they use to be delicious!

So when you are in the mood for something chewy, moist, almond and in the shape of a cookie,you can make a batch yourself or place your order with Divadish, Chef Gianna will be glad to help you enjoy a fond memory.

Pasta

divadishkitchenscatering.com
I would not be Italian and my grandmother Julia would roll over in her grave,,, if I did not make a Pasta dish at least once a week!

Here is one of those I can't get enough of dishes...!

It has a very Fancy Italian name, but I choose to call it what it is,,, Angel Hair Pasta W/Sausage.
Of course there is a little more too it then that,,, it has sauteed red onions,green bell peppers,chunk ripe tomatoes,
all seared in dark green olive oil, with fennel, anise, garlic, and sweet basil, add a touch of Sea Salt to the last few secs of cooking.
When you serve this to your guests they will think they have been treated to a Fine Dining Italian Experience!
And so they should, it is a puttsy dish to make but a delicious one to enjoy, so in my book that out weighs the puttsy.

Hope you have Enjoyed this Italian Memory Lane Moment of  My Messano Family Recipe.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA & SAUSAGE

Buon Appetito

Porkchop Pizza

divadishkitchenscatering.com
Divadish Kitchens created this new Meat-Eaters- Pizza for all of those Carnivores!

I use Boboli  as my crust. I just Love the texture of them, and they are all organic, No -Saturated Fats,
and Low in Calories.

Take Boboli crust and spread a thin layer of garlic and olive oil mixture over it and put under broiler for a few minutes.Then proceed with your layering.
I took a Grilled Pork Chop,sliced it and added yellow bell peppers, red onions,and mushrooms.
Sauteed all of this in a small frying pan in a little of olive oil and garlic.
Added Sweet Basil,Fennel, Anise,and Thyme, simmered and started the layers.

When all of mixture is spread out on top of crust add (3) cheese blends and grated Parmesan Cheeses, and a tad of Sea Salt.
Bake @ 425' for approximate 20-25 minutes, depending on your oven. Keep an eye on crust.
Cut in slices, app. 8-10 slices per large pizza.

Add a Greek or Italian Salad and sliced Pears or Apples and you have a delicious meal.

These are available on my Specialty Menus for sale, and also as Appetizers.
