Every bite of food should be a sweet bite
I have been meaning to make this recipe for quite some time.
But, it’s never been the “right” time.
I saw the recipe for it numerous time here
It was calling to me. I had to make them.
If you read the original recipe, which was published by Martha Steward Living you will see that I took a shortcut, because her version makes Pate Brisee, which is the fancy, French way of making Pie Crust.
I used pre-made pie dough, which had been sitting in my refrigerator for the past week.
I’m totally high jacking this idea.
My main chica, Jenn over at Knitty Baker is celebrating her new camera and got the bright idea of designating Thursdays as the day of documenting via photos what she find interesting, and amusing and all with a click of her camera.
Insert thought here :::GREAT IDEA, I should have thought of that!:::
But, I did not, so I asked her if I could totally join her and she totally agreed… so here is my first snap Thursday.
I give you our 190-pound baby of the house – Rufus.
Yes, ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY POUNDS - he weights 30 pounds more than me! He is basically a walking human with fur and four legs.
We adore him. Because, he scares people away, but he has the biggest baby heart you can ever imagine. In his mind he is still a puppy and acts like one.
In this picture he is patrolling our front porch, while I was yelling for him to “stay in place!” - Fun times!
This is another recipe plucked right out my Nonna’s A cookbook. This salad was served in all of our family “special events”, so any birthday, baptism, party, Christmas, anything that involved a gathering of more than 20 people and this dish would make an appearance.
Since I been reminiscing my younger years in the last couple of weeks, I of course made this. This dish, as my grandmother use to tell me could be found in any “antipasto” offering in Italy. During my travels, I have found countless versions of this salad but I always go back to my grandmother’s italian version.
In Italy it’s mainly made with diced vegetables like potatoes, peas, carrots, green beans, and combined with homemade mayonnaise.
