Party of 5 or 15 it doesn’t matter to my mother she makes every meal at her house festive and spectacular. My mother adds the right touch to make a simple meal five star. My favorite time growing up in my mothers home was meal time. Partly because I love to eat (that is just the Italian in me, it also helped that my mother cooked like my grandmother) and because my mother made things so special. Each meal is unique with the display of food and place setting. Don’t get me wrong I love the company as well that is the best part of all. Between my mother and grandmother our family would rather eat at home vs resturant with these two ladies when they are cooking and setting the table.
It takes little effort to make a big difference, kids of all ages appreciate the little effort you do to make meal time a special event. Regardless if its a holiday or just an ordinary meal at the kitchen table.
My grandmother and mother inherited this knack, I inherited the huge appetite. My grandmother never had any issues when she would tell me to Mangia!
I just wanted to share these pictures I took at my mothers house for Cinco De Mayo.
