When the Italians Came to Feast.

Buon Appetito!

Mama, Papa, and Gina came to supper tonight. (yea, I don't really call them that).

It was cool to test my food out on some true Italianos AND my family is not exactly 100% into this "macro" business. Especially my Dad who loves loves his pastas and meats...and ice cream. I tried my best to represent this meal in that way.

I decided to go with some dishes I already knew:

My Squash Soup for 1st coarse

My tempeh with sweet and soy sauce (mostly to resemble meat)

A great pressed salad (with diakkon to add to a nice detox for all that animal protein)

And a new Christina Pirello recipe: Fettuccine Alfredo pg. 212
