This year has been quite a dream. It started off very rocky. We all have personal struggles and issues that we deal with and life is not everything you see here on Instagram. But all thru my life..thru the ups and downs, I have learned that inner strength and perseverance will prevail. That hard work and dedication do pay off. Plus surrounding yourself with good people, and an amazing family will help you get through it all. ❤️
If you would have told me years ago when I was working 14 hour days to make ends meat that I would now have the joy of owning a home in Italy, a cookbook and an olive oil brand, I would have never believed you. If you would have told me after I closed my restaurant that I would ever get back into food, I would have looked at you like you had two heads. 😂 But always believe, always dream and always stay positive. Get up every day, put your feet on the ground and make the most of it.
Here’s to an amazing 2024. 🥂 Take the time to sit back and enjoy every moment with those you love and enjoy what God has given you. I wish you all the best in this upcoming year. Never stop believing in yourself!!

🍆At the age of 5 I decided that I no longer was going to eat meat. In the late 70’s this was not the most common thing, and my family thought I was going to be malnourished. In fact, they tried everything they could to get me to eat it. But I was a stubborn kid and didn’t. These eggplant meatballs quickly became my favorite. They are a perfect meatless 🍆 option and I promise you will love them
I usually serve this with 🍝 pasta as the first course. Then we eat the meatballs with a delicious salad. It makes the perfect big Sunday family dinner!!
I love to use my favorite brand of durum wheat pasta for this @bionaturae_organics I also used their canned tomatoes and EVOO. I highly recommend their products. They are organic from italy and the quality is amazing, Locally I find them @stopandshop and @unclegiuseppesmarketplace but you can also get them on Amazon or directly on their website www.bionaturae.jovialfoods.com
Trust me you will love them. Their products are my go to pantry items.

My go to lunch (it’s great for Lent too)…This low carb/high protein Mediterranean Tuna Salad is incredibly delicious and healthy. I serve it in radicchio leaves instead of bread to keep it low carb but you can make it into a sandwich if you desire.
Be creative with this salad. You can mix up the ingredients. If you don’t have any roasted peppers on hand, no problem, add in some chopped tomatoes. Make the recipe your own.
