Okay I do not celebrate the day.
But Adolph introduced me to Zeppole and the rest is history.
And of course it comes close to St. Patrick's Day so I could celebrate both.
So March has good eating in the sweets department.

Granpa loved to cook.
But he also loved the women in his life- his nonna Maria, his mom, his daughters, his granddaughters and me- his wife.
He respected the contributions all of us made to him.
He would argue politics with us too.
We always agreed to disagree.
So making food for his family was his way to be soulful.

Using up food resources helps with overall environmental support.
We are told so much food waster goes to the dump.
So having saved a huge chunk of pork roast in the freezer, I chopped it up to add to my homemade meat sauce today for flavour!
It is simmering away in the slow cooker so the aroma in the house will bring some much needed assault on my senses. Smelling food helps me to calm and work more efficiently.
Some will be used in my dinner of ravioli bought from Longos, but mostly for my working daughter and smaller portions to be put in the freezer for one person pasta meals.
Cooking for one is hard but when I know I will be sharing with family it makes it doable.
I do miss granpa's cooking. His sauce was always the best.
