I've been married over 40 years to a wonderful man, have two fantastic grown married daughters, two super grand children and two great sons-in-law. Anything Italian, anything Greek, anything w/seafood, vegetarian and grilling. We try to grill everything we can in the summer; winter too unless the snow is too deep to manage getting to the grill. We don't have any special traditions, but my family and friends say that my chicken w/artichokes and mushrooms, bouillabaisse and paella rock (their word) along with my banana cream pie, a special chocolate cake and my banana bread. They also rave about my bread puddings. I developed the best fresh apple bread I have ever tasted. At least that is what my family and friends say. I just haven't had the courage to share it. I made this cheese, onion and egg pie, that was so bad I actually spit it out. Fortunately, it was only for family. We ordered pizza and had a good laugh.
