Fried Nutella Pies

Page Family Meat Pie
While I was home for Easter I got to spend that Saturday with my mom and my cousin Concetta cooking, laughing and just having a fun girls day. When I woke up Saturday morning, it was to my favorite smell in the world, my mom’s spaghetti sauce! I told her that I hope heaven smells…

A St.Patrick’s Day Breakfast
This weekend, Chicago will be celebrating the wonderful day of St.Patrick, and dying the river a lovely shade of green.
