Isn't Nana a beautiful lady?
I always thought as a young kid that she looked Italian.
It certainly was not her cooking that misguided me.
Nana is amazing at many culinary practices but Italian is not her strong suit.

| Yep, Yep, Yep |
I can't say no to carbs. Love um', I do. In moderation ofcouse…sometimes.
Now for those of us on a New Years health kick, paleo, whole 30, diet of choice, keep in mind all the
amazing substitutes to good ol' traditional pasta.
You can use spaghetti squash, rice noodles, zucchini noodles, exedra exedra.

| Malta-wah? |
Maltagliati literally means "badly made".
I have been trying for months to perfect a MYO pasta recipe with no avail! I just can't seem to get the hang of it.
Luckily for me, my 16yr old is a pasta savant and has saved the day on many occasions.
When I found this recipe I jumped for joy!
Now I don't have to worry about wasting a batch of dough when my noodles don't turn out picture perfect.
I'll just chop up the dough and wa-lah we are having Maltagliati!

I generally plan on Wed when I have 30 minutes before mass chaos begins.
I shop on Fri so our family menus (posted on the fridge) run from Fri to Thur.
How do I keep it all straight without pulling my hair out? I use Pepperplate.
This site/App keeps all my recipes, super easy to upload from other sites,
my shopping list which automatically uploads, my weekly/monthly planner,
AAAND (with best infomercial voice I can muster) So Much More! (Nope I
didn't get paid to say that either.)
