Welcome family and friends! I decided to create this blog in hopes of displaying heirloom recipes and stories from both sides of my family to be handed down to my children and extend my findings and my own creations to my relatives and friends for years to come. I have hopes my extended family of cousins across the country can access this site and will contribute. I carry a certificate in Basics and Gourmet Cooking.

1 lb hot Italian turkey sausage removed from casing
Brown sausages together in pan with non-stick spray. Drain, cool, and process in

2 large diced red/green sweet peppers
small pkg fresh sliced mushrooms
2 teas capers (optional) I don't use them

In a dutch oven combine 2 jars of marinara sauce, 1 can drained 14 oz Italian style diced tomatoes, large handful of fresh chopped fresh basil. Simmer 1/2 hr and add 1 large tomato paste. Simmer to thicken.
Add small pkg sliced fresh mushrooms, 2 chopped sweet red/green peppers. Simmer

On a long dish, lay a slice of cleaned romaine lettuce leaf. Fill with meat
filling. Top with sliced black olives, sprinkle with fresh shaved parmesan
