	Italian Stuffed Meatloaf by Nanette In my post, Meatloaf Made In America (Oct 17, 2010), I wrote about my Italian ancestors and their pride in living in America and becoming part of the American Culture. In as much as I love my American Meatloaf with it's sweet and tangy flavor...let's not forget the bacon and cheese filling, my heart always returns to my mom's Italian…	1 vote 601 views
	Pork Tenderloin With Maple BBQ Sauce by Nanette I cook pork tenderloin once a month. There's nothing easier nor more versatile than this cut of "the other white meat". Now that there's just my husband and me at the table each night it is the perfect portion size, too. I buy a package of two that weigh about a pound or so. Try and buy two that are similar in thickness and length so…	1 vote 2508 views

	Of Food, Family & Faith by Nanette It was a ho-hum day at the rectory where I work. Very routine. Maria DiBlasi sent her husband to our office and changed all that with this scrumptious cake. She hosted a birthday party the day before and baked this delight. Being the thoughtful woman she is, she sent slices to the "church ladies" to enjoy.It really suites the adult…	1 vote 381 views
	Easy Honey & Soy Sauce Chicken Slow Cooker Style by Nanette This sweet & salty recipe is a breeze in the slow cooker. No need to brown the chicken so there's little prep time involved.

	MeatLoaf Made In America by Nanette Francis Reubens Bello...Grandpa Frank to me. He came to America from Italy at 17 to attend a University...at 17! He worked with numbers and figures, very precise and deliberate, but with a winning smile and ready laugh. Tall and lanky, Grandpa Frank was on the "delicate" side. In the winter, beneath his white, starched collared shirt,…	1 vote 740 views
	Lent: Simple Meals Of Self-Denial by Nanette It seems as though we just took down the last red bow and ate the final Christmas cookie, and here it is just weeks before Lent/Easter begins. How different these two liturgical seasons are. Try as I might to focus on the true meaning of Advent & Christmas, I tend to get caught up in the hype and do more partying than praying. And…	0 votes 327 views
	Indian Cuisine: A Feast For The Senses by Nanette My Grandfather Joseph and Nana Florence lived in an apartment building in the Bronx (NY). What I remember so clearly is the smell of the halls when we visited after Mass on a Sunday. You see, my other grandparents had their own house and the scent of their home smelled..well....Italian. It was familiar to me, the rich tomato sauce,…	0 votes 350 views
