GRANPA-IL NONNO COOKS FOR JANUARY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

With my wife Barb's and son-in-law Domi's birthdays January 22, my daughter Natasha always has a family get together to celebrate. So last Saturday January 18, this cook offered to make most of the meal to help with the preparations. Keeping the mess at my house!! Making chicken legs and breasts sprinked with rosemary-rosmarino, hot and sweet sausage as well as a hearty ground beef red sauce-sugo to fulfill the protein requirements the aroma in the kitchen was great for the senses.


The sauce was added to the tortellini with cheese-formaggio, as the pasta dish for all. Everyone in our family group love vegetables so I made broccoli, mushrooms-funghi, rapini, peas-piselli and roasted potatoes-patate.


Natasha made a large bowl of Greek salad along with boccincini and olives on the table as appetizers. Lots of healthy eating.


Of course no birthday celebration would be complete without a cake or two accompanied by a large platter of fruit!


Happy Birthday Barb and Domi! Buon Compleanno! Now to have another event so this cook can show off his culinary skills!
