What I do know is that it’s one of my husband’s favorite ways to eat vegetables. Since he thinks vegetables are an “optional” part of any meal, I do what I can to get him excited about them.While I was making this yesterday, my husband said the aroma took him back to his Italian grandmother’s kitchen. Simple foods from the earth, probably grown in their very own garden. … Continue Reading →

Fresh Calamari Stew

The leaves are turning, the temperature is dropping, and it seems to rain every other day. Fall is hear, and that means its time to think of comfort foods. I found this recipe in an old cookbook my mom had. It’s called Leone’s Italian Cookbook by Gene Leone, and was published in 1967. It has some amazing recipes, albeit a little outdated.
