Whenever I have a stressful day I come home and cook. It helps me unwind until it's time for clean-up. I normally put things together from what I have in the cabinet and it's usually something Italian because that's what I grew up on. My mom always laughs at me because she makes a sauce for hours and I can put together an entire "Sunday meal" in less than an hour and it's just as good. Grandma's meatballs! I was about 10 I made my brother a cake. I tried to get creative and used lemon icing and topped with maraschino cherries. The cherries in the juice melted down the icing and it was a big old mess. Almost 20 years later I STILL hear about this cake from my family.
