[No-]BS Cooking!

This is a blog for all of my culinary adventures! I learned most of what I do from my Italian grandmother, with whom I am very close. Although my focus is on Italian food, I do enjoy using lots of techniques and ethnic styles, including Hispanic, Asian, etc. I even cook a lot of vegetarian dishes! If you would like a recipe or advice, or if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Also, feel free to submit your own food-related stuff!

I made something new… I baked a sort of banana cake, but I added Reese’s peanut butter chips to the batter. I love eating bananas with peanut butter, so this seemed like something to try… and it turned out awesome! https://www.instagram.com/p/B_GozaJlJEM/?igshid=1s7en9idniezz

Had to get some good lunch to sustain me while working a double today… these Thai Peanut seitan wings and star tots hit the spot.

My dad was adopted by Greeks and I’m his daughter. I’ve been Greek all my life without actually looking Greek. I plan to have a Greek wedding when I get married. In the world I live in today, I’m honestly concerned that by having a Greek wedding, I’ll be accused of “appropriating their culture”.

That would be really dumb if anyone accused you of that. I am in the same boat… my dad was adopted by Italians. I was brought up and now identify as Italian. It’s my family and my culture. I happen to cook really good Italian food. Anyone who wants to put all of that in a negative light can shove it.

You don’t have to be blood to be family.
