Happy Halloween From Sista’s Kitchen!
Who doesn’t love Old Fashion Dot Penny Candy? Last night while decorting Halloween Cookies I discoverd how crazy easy they are to make at home! As I cleaned up my work space I noticed perfectly shaped droplets of icing that broght me right back to my childhood days of shopping at Berthas Candy Store located on Gloucester’s Rocky Neck! As a child Sugar Dot Candy were one of my most favorite penny candies sold!
At midnight After peeling off and eating each and every dried dot shaped Royal Icing from my work space, I decide to pip my left over Royal Icing onto a clean sheets of Parchment paper, in the same fashioned pattern I remebered buying at Berths On Rocky Neck! This morning I searched the internet for a clip art shaped Corn Corn, and confected these adorable Candy Corn Shaped Sugar Treats!
I can’t wait to gift them tonight to a few Special Gobblins in my life during tonights Halloween Festivities!
Fun, easy, and yummy way to use up leftover Royal Icing!

It’s no secret to my friends and family that Halloween is one of my most favorite holidays.

I promise you won’t be disappointed and either will the Ghosts and Goblins in your life!

Chicken Guadalajara
Chicken Guadalajara
My favorite dish on the menu at “The Boarder Café” is Chicken Guadalajara. Last week I was inspired to create this recipe after sadly missing the turn into the Boarder Café parking lot at their Saugus Route One location. Rush hour traffic had both north and south bound traffic backed up for miles, making it an easy decision not to attempt turning around. Craving the heavenly flavors of this dish, I headed straight to Market Basket to pick up a few key ingredients I knew I didn’t have on hand at home. Within 45 minutes of walking in the door my favorite Boarder dish was recreated and served to the family. It tasted amazing! Everyone gave it a double thumbs up!!

Pasta with Peas & Hot Ham
Pasta with Peas & Hot Ham
Last night’s @sistafelicia Instagram Photo
This past holiday weekend was spent embracing opportunities to experience “Real Campus Life” while touring colleges with our twins. After three days of living off fast food, Starbucks Coffee, and a few campus dining hall delights, a “real meal” was much need when we arrived home late last night. The last half hour of our road trip back home felt like ten as we discussed what meal I could pull together the fastest with ingredients I knew I had on hand at home. After rattling off several options to please everyone’s starving bellies and picky pallets, “Pasta with Peas & Hot Ham” was unanimously requested, made and on the table before the boys finished emptying bags and luggage from the truck!
Pasta with Peas & Hot Ham is fast and easy to prepare and only requires a few key ingredients. This pasta dish is traditionally served for lunch or dinner as main course or side dish, but I think it makes a perfect late night meal for the fall and winter months. Trust me you’ll have no trouble warming up or sleeping after eating a bowl of this heavenly creamy pasta dish late night! It’s one of our families most favorite “Italian Comfort Food” dishes!

Butternut Squash Risotto
Butternut Squash Risotto
Every fall daughter Amanda requests this dish I created for her several years ago for lunch or dinner at least once a week! It can be served as a meal or side dish. In Italian homes Risotto is considered a traditional Italian comfort food. The combinations of cheeses in this recipe paired with the fall flavor of roasted butternut squash and creamy risotto is just as addicting as the traditional American comfort food Mac & Cheese.

Caramel Apple Crisp Is On The Dessert Menu Tonight!
You will never look at Apple Crisp quite the same way after trying this recipe…It’s scrumptious!
Caramel Apple Crisp
A few years ago I created and posted this recipe…It’s become a fall favorite in our home…If you love caramel apples, and apple crisp, this is a must try recipe! I can’t wait to serve it for dessert tonight with a scoop of Vanilla Bean Gelato using apples from our dear friends Jeremy and Tanya Frost’s fruitful back yard Apple Tree! I have never seen a tree bearing 2 different verities of apples growing from a single tree trunk! Both the red Gala and yellow Golden Delicious tasted delicious! Jeremy held the ladder for me while I hand picked and filled 2 large bags last Saturday! The Frost’s apple tree was a magnificent sight in their yeard this year! Jeremy reported that this years harvest is the best in the past several years, and that this was the first year it beared two types of apples. Thank you for sharing your special tree with me, I’m having a great time in the kitchen whipping up our fall favorite confections and have also created a few new recipes that have been big hits!
