Believing in family dinners since 1991
Hi! I'm Leora. I am married to a fire captain (who is also the man of my dreams!), a mom to five grown kids, and a nana to five darling grandkids! I firmly believe in the importance of putting distractions away and sitting down together for family dinner, and doing so has been a tradition in our home ever since my husband and I got married 30 years ago. In fact, my children still come home often for family dinners, even though most are moved out of the house. My goal is to provide you with delicious recipes that you can share with your loved ones around the table. So, join my family for dinner, and pass your plates!

They’re just perfect for the season! I wanted to make something new for my family, while also sticking with the …
My husband used to rave about gyros he had at the fire station. I recreated it with thinly sliced gyro meatloaf, served on pillowy naan bread, with tzatziki sauce and red onions. It was a hit! This will be a fantastic addition to your weekly rotation.
If you love seafood as much as my family does, this dish is for you. Clams steamed with a tomatoey white wine broth, and topped with a sauce that’s loaded with fresh herbs. Serve over linguine and with a crusty bread on the side, to soak up the delicious sauce! You’ll need plenty of napkins …
