Homemade Goodies

When you think about something homemade, normally the first thing to comes to mind is something along the lines if chocolate chip cookies. However, in an Italian  household, this term can include many different things. From blankets to cheese, almost anything can be homemade.

When I walk into my nonno and nonnas house, I am offered homemade cheese, home cured meats, homemade bread, and sometimes even homemade wine. It always amazes me just how much is made  from scratch.  Everything is made with such ease and precision. Both my grandparents have mastered these skills and have made their homemade treats into an art.

The joy they get on their face while sharing their creations is the same as watching a child get excited when they show their parents their art work. In all honesty, they love making and well everyone around them love receiving the fruits of  their labor.
