If you're stuck preparing a dinner and desperately need another dish but don't have the time effort or the money, this is a tasty solution to fall back on. In a shallow baking pan throw in some peeled and loosely chopped potatoes, carrots and red onions. Add some olive oil, fresh parsley if you have it, season them with salt and pepper, hot pepper flakes if you like and if you want any other spices (like cumin or oregano) that might compliment your meal- however I usually like to leave them plain. Throw it in the oven [uncovered if you want them crispy, covered with aluminum foil otherwise] at 375 for 30 minutes or so until they're tender and a fork easily pierces the flesh of the potato. Perfect all summer and through the winter. Goes great on picnics or with steak dinners, its a great solution to fall back on.

- Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
