There are a lot of things I loved about my Nanny…too many to even count! But, one of the things I loved about her in particular was her Italian culture. She was 100 percent Italian, which explained her love for big family gatherings and romantic soap operas and her fabulous secret family recipe for spaghetti and meatballs.
Last night, we had a little dinner party and for the main course, we served my Nanny’s spaghetti. Molto bene!
^^I’m hardly ever without lipstick/lipgloss on…I take after my mother!
^^We used the empty tomato cans as vases for our centerpiece!
^^A cheese plate for an appetizer
^^Emily made some yummy cookies for dessert!
For me, my Nanny’s spaghetti is the ultimate comfort food because it is a part of her that continues to live on even though she is no longer with us. And I know that every time we eat it, she will be right there with us in spirit…just like she was last night.
