My wife is making Italian beef for tonight so that will be awesome. I made homemade spaghetti sauce saturday and homemade biscuits and sausage gravy yesterday for breakfast. She made some good soup last night. Lots of good homemade stuff going on here at our house, but that is not really uncommon for us as we like to cook at home a lot.

It probably is not actually Italian lol. Recipe is a roast, slow cooked with some seasonings and pepperoncini peppers. Then shredded up and served on a sandwich with provolone. Similar to Portillos Italian Beef sandwich. It is pretty tasty!

I made a lasagna the other night. I make baked ziti periodically. Simple recipes. I do most of the cooking in the house. I probably do most of the eating too. Cindy's been on a Mediterranean diet recently, so she's pretty much having a salad with some protein for dinner, hummus for lunch and yogurt for breakfast. I'll rotate fish, burgers, chicken, shrimp and pasta... Normally, I'm out for darts two nights a week so I eat at the bar or on the way. This 7 nights a week in the house really limits my variety a bit.
However, the interesting item was the pan. My sister is a pastry chef, and now teaches culinary at a HS in Brooklyn. So, every year for Hanukkah, she always buys us something for the kitchen that we sometimes use, sometimes not. I've never opened the panini press, we have used the mandolin, but last year she bought us this: Curtis Stone Trio Pan . I used it for a ziti a few weeks ago, and the lasagna Sunday. Each piece of lasagna fits into one of the pans, and with the little handles, you can pull out 1/3 at a time. If you had people with different tastes, you could make 3 different styles at one time.

My wife wants to attempt lasagna this week now that we have some free time. I grew up eating the best home made lasagna made by my mother and my aunt at family events like Christmas, and Easter, it was the type of food that could ever be replicated in a restaurant. My wife is Portuguese and I'm Italian, she is going to give it a crack this week and I will give her some helpful advice. The secret to our southern Italian lasagna recipe is the simplicity. We use very thin layers of pasta, with light amounts of ground beef, hard boiled egg pieces, mozzarella cheese and fresh home made tomato sauce on each layer, and a touch of grated parmagiano cheese on the very top layer with sauce, baked to your liking. This will be our first attempt after relying on our relatives to make it for so many years.
