My Italian Kitchen

Christmas cooking

Lasagna, veal parmigiana and chicken parmigiana

“Minesta” and “Pizza di gradine”….cabbage & bean soup, and baked deep dish corn pizza.
This was a staple dish, (a poor mans dinner in Italy) my mom used to say .
She used to make this only in the fall and winter.

I loved it so much I started making this all the time, but I learned why she would only make it in the fall/winter…because it has to bake for 4 hours in the oven.

But it’s worth the hot 🥵 house because it’s soo delicious!

Sautéed Chickory and Swiss Chard
Straight from the garden always tastes much better!
