This Parsnip and Celery Root Purée is a perfect accompaniment to yesterday’s post where we shared our recipe for Filet Mignon with Mushroom Sauce. As we mentioned yesterday, this Parsnip and Celery Root Purée was part of a special dinner that Jack and I enjoyed a few months ago for our anniversary. During that dinner…
Happy New Year everyone! We stayed home for New Year’s Eve last night, and Jack and I enjoyed a nice, romantic dinner (well – as romantic as you can get with an 8-year-old in the other room who is determined to stay up past midnight… 🙂 ) where we reflected on the great year we…

Quite possibly one of the best French Onion Soup recipes around! Super rich and flavorful with crusty toasted bread and melted Swiss cheese. YUM! Hi all, this is Jack. I don’t typically write the story behind the recipes here on A Family Feast, but today I wanted to be the one to share – in…
So – in the midst of all of this holiday meal planning, we’re still enjoying some great football here in New England! (Say what you will about the New England Patriots – we love our boys in blue!) And what’s better than a great football game? THESE Mini Shepherd’s Pie Bites! Confession time here: I’ve…
These Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are quite simply – amazing! Last month I had the huge pleasure of joining 10 other bloggers for a weekend visit to the Certified Angus Beef brand headquarters in Wooster, Ohio. Certified Angus Beef® (CAB) is a non-profit organization that was formed 36 years ago to increase demand for high-quality Angus…
I grew up avoiding any dish or recipe that included anchovies. My dad loved them – but I just couldn’t get past the look of those little fishes packed in their small flat cans! So when I learned that my husband Jack grew up on (and completely raved about) some classic Italian pasta dishes like…
This post is sponsored by McCormick Gourmet. All opinions are 100% mine. Cooler fall temperatures are definitely here to stay, and we’re turning to hearty comfort foods that warm us up! Today’s Smoky Joe recipe definitely fits the bill! Our Smoky Joe is a delicious twist on the classic ‘sloppy joe’ sandwich – with a…
With a garden still full of ripe tomatoes, we’ve been experimenting with an old family recipe for Homemade Tomato Juice that comes from my husband Jack’s side of the family! The original recipe was from Jack’s grandmother, and it was hand written in a mix of English and Italian! (Unfortunately – it was also faded…
I mentioned yesterday that we just came home from an end-of-summer vacation and when we got home, we found our garden over-run with ripe tomatoes! Over the weekend alone, we picked more than 40 pounds (wow!) of various varieties including cherry and grape, Roma, baby plum, Sun Glow, Big Girl, Big Boy and Beefsteak. So…
Today we’re going to share a technique for cooking a tender Top of the Round Roast! The top of the round is cut from the hind quarter of a steer, and it’s a very affordable cut of beef to buy at your local grocery store. Because it’s essentially muscle meat, a top round roast is…
Today we’re sharing a recipe for Brodo – the broth we used in yesterday’s soup recipe for Pappa al Pomodoro! Brodo is Italian for ‘broth’ and it’s a thinner, less concentrated stock than the traditional chicken or beef stocks that are used in many other Italian soup recipes. Brodo is typically made from a mixture…
