Italian Food

Drumroll, please!

I saw a post on Facebook of someone asking if we either remembered or knew what "pastina" was. Here are some of the other things we haven't eaten in a long time...

Some people don't want to know how the sausage is made, but I DO want to know how the mozzarella is made!

If you haven't noticed, we love to eat. We enjoy good food and we got a head start last week on the Feast Day of San Giuseppe with a delicious recipe for zeppoles.

We asked where to find the best Italian food in Jersey and the phone lines blew up! Who's hungry?

Every year since I began working at this station I have been going to the Ocean County Columbus Day Parade in Seaside Heights. I love the food, the music, the people-watching (especially the people-watching). This year this iconic New Jersey festival needs your help to continue.

Alright Freehold, you want us you got us! This Thursday The Jersey Prize Team is heading to the Freehold Racetrack for one of my favorite events of the year!

I took this from Giada De Laurentis' appearance on the "Today Show" this week and the family loved it!

For a different and more authentic Sicilian version of the rice ball filling...Make a bechamel sauce (easy), it's a mix of butter, flour and milk.  Thicken it with parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.

Yesterday on the show I mentioned making riceballs over the holidays. Here is a video of the basic recipe with my friend Alicia Vitarelli. Later today I will post an alternate recipe for a different filling. Buon appetitto!
