UPDATE
Just a note to let everyone know that my husband has passed away. It has been months since I have been able to update my blogs and have removed my website. I'll be back soon as I need to have my projects to keep my mind occupied. Right now I am just trying to get my life in order which has been proven to be one of the most difficult things I have ever dealt with in my life. I was already dealing with issues surrounding the death of my first husband. Here I go again . . . I am beyond heartbroken and hopeless.

I'm a recipe collector and have a filing cabinet full of recipes from scouring magazines, newspapers, trading with friends and my cherished family recipes that were passed on to me by family . . . some I have no idea where they came from. I attempt to list sources when I have them . . . I'm not trying to claim any recipe as mine unless it is . . . I'm a serious foodie . . . not a professional chef!
I will also be posting those recipes that look promising to me since I'm always looking for new recipes to try out.
I will also be posting those recipes that look promising to me since I'm always looking for new recipes to try out.
I'm a third generation sicilian italian-cuban-american who was fascinated with everything that happened in the kitchen as I grew up, next to my nana's side . . . watching every move that she made. She started giving me little jobs to do in the kitchen to keep from stepping on me . . . I learned how to cook at a young age, throwing things together, rarely using measuring utensils. Cooking is a passion which takes lots of tasting and nurturing what you are cooking until it is just right.
Here's the twist to my italian cooking . . . I married a southern gentleman whose mom prepared the best southern comfort food meals . . . and as a young adult, I was right there by her side, learning how to cook southern style. He and I combined the two cooking styles into our own style that never disappointed our guests.
Since my southern gentleman passed away, I got used to cooking for one . . . so there is yet another twist to my cooking . . . cooking a big meal and turning it into totally different meals.
I've since remarried and my new husband (yep, another southern gentleman) has a similar cooking style . . . and we are perfecting the art of making great meals using leftovers :)
