ORGANIZING THE BLOG PICTURES AND RESEARCH

 It takes lots of photos and research to keep a blog going.

So today I reviewed all the photos and previous writing for this blog.

Anticipating some jaunts to farms over the summer, I want to be ready to continue some posts on this site.

Meanwhile it was exhausting so am having a strawberry homemade sundae tonight to help with the mood.

Not Italian cooking but fun eating.

EASTER TRADITIONS ARE FAMILY TRADITIONS

 We always included a blend of Canadian and Italian traditions at Easter.



A homemade pasta dish. Could be fresh egg noodles with a ragu sauce or lasagna.





Lamb with rosemary potatoes. Ham with pineapple slices. Sausage. Chicken breasts

A variety of vegetables. Rapini, carrots, corn, veggies and dip

Desserts with a bunny, easter theme.

An egg hunt for the grandchildren. Easter treats and a little money for them.

This year will be no Easter hunt due to COVID lockdown. Not a big gang at the table. Going to one home as I am allowed because I live alone.



Adolph always loved his canascione. Sonya made it for him last year. She has been trying many of her Dad's recipes. He loved it.

This year she is making his homemade lasagna. Natasha is making some cookies and cupcakes.

So like any traditions they change as we go along. But mostly they are connected to family.

We make and eat food that our family members love.
