Springtime, and with it's beauty comes Easter. Beautifully colored eggs, egg hunts, and lots of good treats. In keeping with our Italian heritage and traditions, Mom's tradition, I always make special easter bread studded with pretty eggs and sprinkles, like Mom used to do...<br />

Lots of lovely rain has made our landscape so nice and green, and while I have been known to enjoy gardening in the rain, it makes for the most perfect time for cooking and baking...<br />

Rainy Day Cooking...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has been such a rainy February, and I, for one, have been loving it. Staying indoors and cooking when it's cool and rainy makes for pretty much a perfect day. Using a few flowers and herb cuttings from my potted garden to adorn and laminate some fresh pasta made me very happy...Pretty ravioli with a mild herb flavor, tossed in a light pesto cream sauce... </div>

The season began, as it always has, by choosing a Christmas Tree. For as long as I can remember I have loved choosing just the right tree. Decorating the tree and the house, making it cosy was next on the list of seasonal traditions. One of the most special traditions was when I was very young, watching Mom and Dad making Cartellate at the restaurant. They would spend a very long day making lots of these delicious pastries for the family and many friends. As I got older, I too have embraced this tradition, making Cartellate with Mom and my sister and my daughter and niece. This year was the first Christmas without Mom being present to help us, but she was there in spirit and in our hearts as we happily carried on the tradition while remembering and reminiscing about days gone by and how Mom and Dad would have been so happy to see us enjoying our memories... and making new ones...<br />

It seems hard to believe that it is that time of year again. I have been very absent from my blog for quite some time. The loss of a Mother changes the way everything feels. This holiday season just feels different, and if I am to be completely honest, a little sad. But... Christmas is upon us! Time for traditions, and that always includes special meals and get togethers... not to mention SWEETS! The traditions must carry on, for all of us, but especially for our children. Traditions create memories... and what do we have if we have no memories...<br />

I'm On My Way, Italy...I am so excited... I leave for Italy tomorrow. It's been two years, and I can't wait. In the meantime, i've been doing lots of cooking... my main passion, and gardening, my other passion, and decorating... my other, other passion. I've been so busy with a styling job that I have been working on for about two months. The job is done, and I am ready for a break. A break to the homeland, where I will visit with family and friends....Explore beautiful places, old places, new places. And cook, and be inspired by my home and all that it has to offer. So ready!!!<br />

Late Summer...Every year, around this time, I start dreaming... dreaming of my favorite time of year. FALL! It's been a hot summer, and it still is, but no matter, to me I feel fall right around the corner. I can smell the fragrance of wild fennel in the morning, and that different light. Two things which are always the first signs of fall for me. I have been cooking a lot, and I always cook using seasonal ingredients, but I look forward to the changes I will make to my meals by using all those favorite flavors of fall. <br />

Fresh Pasta...It is no secret to anyone who knows me that I love food... beautiful food, well made food, and also beautifully embellished food. Being inspired to create something new, or just changing things up a bit is my passion. Sharing food with friends and family is something that makes me very happy. I have no issue with spending hours in the kitchen and on this day, I decided to add herbs to my pasta. I don't do this every time that I make pasta, it is much more time consuming, but when I want that extra wow factor, it is what I do. This is a typical Egg and Flour Pasta which I start the traditional way, but, when rolling the dough, I add freshly snipped herbs between two sheets of pasta and roll. I love seeing how the shapes of the different Herbs change when they are pressed between the Pasta Sheets. I used various herbs which I have growing in my potted garden. Tender Herbs like Sweet Basil and Purple Basil, Arugula, French Sorrel, and Italian Parsley all work well. The resulting pasta is spectacular with a lovely mild herbal flavor. In order not to overwhelm the mild flavor of the herbs, I like to make a simple sauce of just Olive Oil, Romano Cheese, and fresh cracked pepper over the top...<br />

Fragrance...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I don't necessarily think that Favors are a "thing" for funerals, but we just thought it would be a nice touch. I have made these fragrant sachets many times before using my leftover candle wax, some essential oils, and little flowers picked from the garden. Using my silicone flower and heart molds, we created highly fragrant little sachets for the ladies who came to Mom's services. We packaged them and added a little note with Mom's name and dates, and on the flip side of the card we added a little note... It read, "Remembering the beautiful fragrance of your life". As it turned out, everybody loved them, and we did too.<br />

Goodbye Mom...It is with a sad heart that we say goodbye to our sweet Mother. Mom lived a long and wonderful life... 97 healthy years, loved by everyone who met her and knew her. We are greatful that she passed peacefully. Surrounded by family, she slowly slipped away to a better place. We will miss her terribly, but we know that we will be comforted by memories of her loving ways and funny stories...Ciao Bella...<br />

Celebrations...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Celebrations and keeping traditions alive is important to us. Being with family, celebrating the occasion... whatever it may be. Sharing a great meal and just being together is what it is all about. Having Mom with us, making the most of the time we have is precious to us all. We count our blessings...<br />

DIY...It's always fun to make something pretty that doesn't take too much time or cost a lot of money. I enjoyed making this Wreath using things that I have at home. Simple, uncontrived flower arrangements are my favorites... often Roses and Eucalyptus. And when they are past their prime, I hang them to dry, so I almost always have some pretty dried flowers around for using in a Craft. This is one of those times. I love how this Wreath turned out, and since I didn't spend anything to make it, I don't worry that it won't last forever, and it isn't something that I need to store ... which is in keeping with my wanting to stay uncluttered...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Longing for winter weather which will never happen... but, it's not nice to complain. Our weather is amazing, many people can only dream of it, but... I guess we can't always have what we want... I try to create a winter theme, but, it's not easy,,, In the meantime, I enjoy spending time in my Potted English Garden, and of course, my kitchen.</div>

</div>
I always love that feeling that the New Year brings. Putting away Christmas and refreshing the decor. Our weather is such that almost immediately in the New Year, I am thinking of springtime... Gardening a lot more and cooking lighter foods. When most of the country is thick in the middle of winter, I am planting sweet peas... so fortunate for this weather...but I often wish we had four seasons... we have one! On this lovely rainy day however, I enjoyed cooking hearty foods, and I was in the kitchen all day... I didn't have time to make a Panettone before Christmas, but I did it anyway. I also made a Savory Butternut and sage Tart, Corzetti Pasta, and an Olive and Herb Fougasse. In the Kitchen... happy as can be!<br />

Merry Christmas...Another year as past... wonder where it went. Time does seem to fly. Traditions come to mind this time of year. It can be a bit melancholy. Memories of past Christmases, and new ones in the making Keeping traditions alive for future generations... some will be kept, others may evolve into new ones. Health and family are the hope for the future. Making Merry for sharing and spending time with loved ones... That's what it's all about...Buon Natale a tutti... Merry Christmas to all...<br />

The meal is pretty much the same... the pies too. If we haven't yet celebrated Edy's Birthday together, I make a cake for her.... And of course, there will be a special cocktail... inspired by the season. The tables are a bit different every year, but similar in that I always use Pumpkins and Natural decor, using Fall colors along with whatever might inspire me that particular year... and always a bit of sparkle. This year we will be a large group of family and a few friends. It will be a special day spent together , thankful for all that we have, and thankful for another year with Mom... the matriarch of the family...<br />

Unicorns and rainbows seem to be popular with little girls, and that is what this sweet little girl wanted. When Giu Giu asked me to make her cake, of course I couldn't resist... I made her exactly what she asked for...<br />

Thinking of Frances...I am thinking of my lovely sister Frances today, so far away in Italy, yet just a phone call away. We had a little conversation about her Birthday celebration today, and she told me about what she was cooking. We share a love for cooking and she is always making something wonderful. I told her that we would be calling her again later, when Mom is awake, so that hopefully Mom can wish her a Happy Birthday. I wish we could be all together today... I would make her a cake, which I have only been able to do once, when she was here a few years ago... She will be in my thoughts today , and certainly while I am cooking dinner...<br />

Autumn Pleasures..It's that time of year... everyone thinking of Pumpkins and Squashes, Colorful Leaves, and cool breezes. Here we can only dream of cool breezes and brightly hued trees... it has been a very hot early Fall, but happily, it cooled of just in time for Halloween. I'm in full Autumn mode in the kitchen, making old favorites, and thinking up new seasonal recipes...<br />
