Italian Food
Some say the trend toward Italian food started in the late nineteenth century when Italian immigrants began to make their homes in America. The waves of immigrants from Italy continued to grow and with them they brought their love of food. Chicken tetrazzini was created in the early 1900’s in honor of Luisa Tetrazzini, the acclaimed Italian soprano.
Famous Sandwiches
The famous muffuletta sandwich of New Orleans, named after the muffuliette rolls baked in Sicily, was created in 1906 for Sicilian workers. The popular Philly cheese steak was invented by an Italian. Soldiers returning home from Italy after World War II were hungry for the Italian food they had grown to love. They wanted to share with their families spaghetti and meatballs, sausage and peppers, ravioli, lasagna, manicotti and of course, pizza! One of our favorite recipes is Al Capone Roast

Do you know, I've made lasagna hundreds of times, but I've never rolled the noodles? I'm going to have to give it a try 🙂
Wow, you are having quite a weather hit… again. We're enjoying an unseasonably warm, dry, sunny winter day today (don't hate us), but these roll-ups sound so tempting I'm baking some tonight anyway. Thanks for the inspiration.
Yum-love roll ups. And yes, it's freakin' cold out there.

Cold it certainly is Cindy:) If it's not freezing out, it's snowing! I'm not going to complain at all this summer, no matter how hot it gets!! If I do, you can remind me that I said this:) Lynn
