The BIG Apple
Its near impossible for me to choose one thing that I love most about New York, but this past weekend when I was there visiting my best friend we came across this farmers market. I instantly fell in love; there were so many wonderful stands of FOOD. Usually when I am at a farmers market, it’s for selling produce, flowers, honey, Jams, etc. This one although had a few of those items focused mainly on tasting the local talent! It was an overwhelming smell of deliciousness. Can we please bring something like this to Chicago??

Cooking for someone is a Sign of LOVE.
I made Stuffed shells for my Papa, father and cousins. Cooking Sunday dinner has always been a tradition in my family. We use to get together every Sunday, now because everyone is so busy it is rare that we do. A tradition I would love to bring back.
