I'm a stay at home mom to two awesome children, who have made my live complete! I have an amazing husband who, I credit everything! I love to try new recipes on my friends and family. I love new and exciting pasta recipes! My mom is Italian and my dad is German, so I'm always looking for old recipes that my grandparents would have loved! Finding the perfect Pignoli cookie recipe right here! They have become a holiday staple in my family and I'm asked to bring them every time! I tried to make a flank steak one time, and it was horrible, so now every time, my husband see's any kind of beef going into the oven, he's petrifed of the "Baked Meat" episode! Total inside joke around here! LOL
