Gourmet Rig n’ Cheese

Comfort Food. There is nothing like it  The beauty of comfort food is it goes beyond the stereotype.  Each person has their own definition of what is considered comfort food.

Veg-orizo tortellini | Broccolini | Tomato Broth

One of my favorite recipes I make is Chorizo and ricotta stuffed tortellini with a goat cheese tomato sauce.  Since I am experimenting with vegetarian dishes,  I decided to try and “imitate” the flavors of chorizo.  And, as you can probably guess, I managed to successfully create a recipe that will make you second guess that it’s vegetarian. …
