"I'm ashamed I waited so long to try these gems! I got on a buying "jag", and bought all kinds of grains, not giving it a thought on what I would do with them! Well, I looked at a few zillion ways to prepare these particular babies, and thought, "ok, let's go for it". I wanted something more savory, not sweet. Well, even my youngest ate them! I wi"
About Me
I am the mother of six children ranging in ages from 23 down to 7,spending approximately 2/3 of my day in the kitchen! I cook not just to feed my family- I truly LOVE to cook! I don't think I've met something Italian I haven't liked yet, both people-wise as well as food! After my last child was born, my husband and I started adding some Mediterranean diet changes to our lifestyle. Some things are tough on the kids,but easy for us. We already love Greek, and seafood is something almost all of my kids love, so the most difficult part is adjusting to the different spice mixes. I can't live without my Lidia Mattichio Bastianich and Giada DeLaurentis cookbooks. I also enjoy the recipes from "Food Network Favorites". I treated myself to "Molto Mario" and feel like a kid in a candy store! Carry it around like a teddy bear! My favourite road trip this summer so far was with my hubby to the City, when we spent the whole afternoon at Eataly! What a day!
Favorite Foods
I think I might have feathers because of all the chicken I cook! I love a big helping of Buffalo Wings watching a Steelers football game. I am very well known among my friends and family for making pretty darn good Butternut Squash soup. It goes over so well, I am asked to make it even on hot Summer nights! I make lovely,moist meatballs that all of my kids(and their friends)gobble up. While I don't adore baking, I do make a good Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake.
When I get a chance to go out to eat without my kids, my husband will take me to a great Greek restaurant here in Rutherford called "After Athens". They have a running slide show with breathtaking pictures of Greece. The food is fabulous, and the owner will gladly explain anything you don't understand. I like Thai food and Sushi as well. All six of my kids love Sushi, but I'd need a second mortgage to feed it to them!
