Follow me on my journey with food, family and friends. I am a self taught cook with a passion for simple old world Italian dishes. These are easy recipes with everyday ingredients,nothing complicated here! These are the stories and recipes I grew up with. I had a great childhood with a lot of great memories. Growing up in an Italian American family always involved food, family and friends. It wouldn't be a Sunday in our house with out the "Sunday Gravy"! You'll enjoy the story of our typical Sunday with meatballs and macaroni and the other great stories of my childhood.
