If I haven’t mentioned it before, I grew up way out in the country. Each summer my hard working father would plant the big family garden, with help from all the kids.

My grandfather (my mother’s father) is from Sicily. My grandmother is from Germany, but she learned from her mother-in-law how to make lots of Italian food to keep my grandfather happy! Needless to say, I also grew up to eat a lot of Italian foods! Probably not nearly as authentic, but they were homemade and [...]
