Did you know that this past Wednesday, May 15, was National Chocolate Chip Day? Did you even know that there was such a day? Since I’ve become a recipe blogger, I’ve come to find that just about any food you can name has its own special day.
Welcome to fran's favs!
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.
