Saturday Story- Doors of Life DOORS- old, new, p

Saturday Story- Doors of Life

DOORS- old, new, pretty, blue, worn, wood, painted, basic- DOORS.
I’m fascinated by doors. Everywhere I go I snap a photo of a door that pulls at my heart. When I see an old door I wonder what stories it could tell about the people that it’s seen throughout generations of time. Families coming and going, little children growing, elderly folks, moody teens, and new tiny toes all making their way in and out of these different doors.
I lived in 18 “doors” I called home throughout my life. All spread across the world from Europe to the United States. Each a memory of a time and place near and dear to me. A place to call home and make warm with a pot of boiling pasta water on the stove. I walked in and out of these doors and left a little piece of me there. A treasured part of my past I take with me as I meet my next door.
I experience hundreds of “doors” shutting and opening in my life when I least expected. Anticipating a certain outcome on the other side of a door only to find that door locked. I grieved and banged at locked doors not understanding why they didn’t open for me. I rejoiced when others opened at the precise time I needed.
The more I live the more I see doors in a different way. I approach them slightly calmer, trusting there is a reason for whom they let in at that specific time.
Last June, I opened a new door. I opened it wide with a big heart to share my passion and love for stories, food and recipes. That space is now filled with- all of YOU- this amazing and growing community. I genuinely love my connections here and I anticipate the future with excitement.
Life is filled with DOORS- old, new, pretty, blue, worn, wood, painted, basic- DOORS. Really, they are just opportunities. A chance to experience a new path in life. What is on the other side we often do not know..., but that is life, unexpected and exciting, terrifying and joy filled ...
⭐️What door do you desire to open?

💛Challah French Toast Bake💛

Thick slices of Challah bread dipped in egg and cream and soaked overnight create a perfect texture and flavor in this beautiful French Toast Bake. I love when a simple recipe can turn into a beautiful presentation. My friend, @lucky_bites, inspired me to make @buttermilkbysam french toast bake and ramp up the design to make it stunning as well as scrumptious! I’ve even served it for dessert with whipped cream! I know- so crazy?! Instead of assembling the dish the night before I prepped it in the morning and refrigerated it during the day before baking in the evening. Everyone LOVED it. It’s an easy must try recipe. 📌 SAVE for later. 📍Recipe LINK IN BIO. ↗️ SHARE with a friend

CLASSIC ITALIAN RAGU! Today is week 2 of our Itali

CLASSIC ITALIAN RAGU!
Today is week 2 of our Italian American Heritage month collaboration. All month long we are honoring the achievements and contributions of Italian immigrants. The course we are highlighting today is Pasta or Primo. In Italy, pasta is usually a first course, or primo and is not the main event. Other options for primo are soup, rice or polenta.
Looking for a COZY MEAL the entire family will enjoy? This classic meat ragu is your new GO TO RECIPE. A certain magic happens as the meat and aromatic vegetables slowly cook down with the tomato sauce in this classic ragu recipe. Made with Amore,
Elena ❤️ Collaborating with: @ms._melissa_bellini @theitaliancookie @miciamammas .

SOFTEST NO KNEAD BREAD!! FACT: carbs make me happy

SOFTEST NO KNEAD BREAD!! FACT: carbs make me happy.
There are 1 million bread recipes out there, and this is still my NUMBER 1. My mamma makes this bread every week. We walk into my parents home and the smell of homemade bread fills the air. Our mouths water and feet run towards the kitchen. Who can resist the smell and taste of hot, chewy, tender bread with a perfectly crunchy crust? Not me! This bread is delicious with butter and jam for breakfast, as a sandwich bread for lunch, and a side to any dinner meal.
It's the easiest recipe and packed with hidden nutrition (see full recipe) just what you would expect from a mamma’s bread. This will easily become your go to bread recipe that your entire family will love. You can trust this recipe and I promise you will love it. 📌 SAVE for later. 📍Recipe LINK IN BIO

Saturday Story: Mamma’s Meals *We came to the U

Saturday Story: Mamma’s Meals
*We came to the United States when I was six years old and she was 35- my exact age now. When I was growing up my mom worked a lot. She was a geneticist at the University of Utah and loved her profession. She knew basic English and worked hard taking her ground in her profession as a woman and a second language learner. Her English wasn’t perfect and she had to prove herself even more. That often meant long hours and working on weekends. When I was younger I thought it was normal to go with my parents to the lab on weekends and go to daycare after school until 5:30 pm.
*I was a kid. I didn’t see differences. Growing up in Utah I quickly realized that the majority of mothers (in my immediate surroundings) actually stayed home and didn’t work. This is something that was unfamiliar to me with my own mother as well as my family in Italy. All women worked. In my family they were doctors, pharmacists, and scientist. That’s the way it was.
*In the third grade I realized my situation was different. My mom was different. Still to this day when people meet my mom they ask her how long she’s visiting from Italy because of her accent. Through my youth she taught me strength by her example. She taught me resilience. Every single night no matter how tired she was there was a meal on the table and we were all expected to join. This was our time together to share experiences or just sit and eat together. It’s not until now I realize that this was her time with us where we didn’t move we weren’t on the run we were all sitting around a table with food as the center.
*Creating the MammaMiaMangia blog is more than just giving you delicious recipes and pretty photos (I’m pretty sure there are already 1 million people doing that and better too). This is about sharing my story, it’s passing on traditions, it’s hoping that these meals will be shared with you and yours. I want to bring family meals to life. I want you at my table. I want to be at yours. I desire the connection, conversation, passion, and love surrounded by food. Life is short. Let’s make every meal delicious and every memory count 💛.
❤️What’s your why?
