Recipe: 🚨 Pasta Warning ⛔️ What started as

Recipe: 🚨 Pasta Warning ⛔️ What started as an innocent lunch at Eataly quickly turned into a full-blown culinary adventure (read: pasta shopping spree). I walked out with fresh spinach tagliatelle, a bottle of Vespa Bianco, and a dream. Fast forward to Saturday night and voilà: Tagliatelle with Prosciutto and Snap Peas—aka creamy, lemony, mascarpone-laced magic. Not entirely healthy, but very entirely worth it. Click on the link in the bio or lifefoodwine.com for the recipe, stay for the wine, and remember: you can’t spell “Eataly” without “eat.”

A glass (or two) of my go-to Chardonnay? ✔️✔️
Louis Jadot Macon-Villages Chardonnay 2023 is the $15 French kiss your wine fridge didn’t know it needed. Crisp, citrusy, no butter drama—just pure everyday fabulous.

WIne Wednesday - This week on the blog: “Choosing Wine by the Label: A Sommelier’s Nightmare, My Personal Strategy”—where I break down the high-stakes game of judging a bottle by its cover. Spoiler: Fancy cursive lies, animal mascots are a gamble, and if a wine is called Bitch Grenache, you have to buy it.

Recipe: 🐟 Goat Cheese Stuffed Salmon + The Perf

Recipe: 🐟 Goat Cheese Stuffed Salmon + The Perfect Wine Pairing 🍷Salmon is basically a weekly ritual in my kitchen, but this time, I gave it a little glow-up—stuffed with creamy goat cheese and topped with a sweet-spicy Dijon glaze. Fancy? A little. Easy? Absolutely. Delicious? Let’s just say I may never make salmon without goat cheese again.

And because no great meal is complete without wine, I paired it with a Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay—a crisp, citrusy white that plays beautifully with the richness of the salmon. 🥂 Recipe in lifefoodwine.com For #easydinners #winepairings #homecheflife #goatcheeserecipes

#winewednesdays 🍷 Sulfites & Hangovers: Who’s

#winewednesdays 🍷 Sulfites & Hangovers: Who’s the Real Villain? 🤔

Blaming sulfites for that next-day misery? Not so fast! While they can be an issue for some, the real culprits are:
🍷 Dehydration – Wine is fun. Water is responsible.
🍷 Lack of Sleep – That wine-induced slumber isn’t as restful as you think.
🍷 Histamines & Tannins – Sneaky troublemakers in every sip.

Want to wine smarter (and suffer less)?
✅ Hydrate. A lot.
✅ Eat something (more than just cheese).
✅ Choose low-sulfite wines if needed.

Sulfites aren’t the villain—hangovers are a team effort. Plan accordingly! 🍷✨ #WineFacts #DrinkSmart #Sulfites #WineLover check out full review on lifefoodwine.com

#recipe Rosemary Mustard Potatoes - 🥔✨ The humble potato is back and better than ever—with a crispy, golden glow-up. These Rosemary Mustard Roasted Potatoes are the ultimate side dish that might just upstage your main. Crispy edges, fluffy centers, a hint of mustard sass, and a sprinkle of rosemary charm. Even my Irish mum would approve—and she didn’t approve of much unless it came with gravy. 🇮🇪❤️
