***Warning*** If you really like the chocolate/peanut butter combination, I feel duty bound to warn anyone who is on a diet or trying to get into a bathing suit to stop reading right here! If you know what’s good for you, you’ll Google a salad recipe instead!!
I know it’s redundant, but I am an Italian foodie. My two sisters and I grew up in a thoroughly Italian household with a Sicilian mom and a Neopolitan dad—both equally good cooks. My dad and uncle owned a small Italian restaurant together, and it was the place to go for great home style Italian food, including wonderful homemade pizza. My dad has passed on; but, to this day, even if my 80-plus-year-old mom doesn’t know you’re coming, she’ll pull a 5-course meal out of the fridge in no time flat.
