Holy smokes, my essay about my mom just went up on the Huffington Post! The link to it is in the highlighted words, just click on them: They’re calling it, “My Mom Dreamed of Getting on The Price is Right, I Never Imagined What Would Happen When She Did.” They may try another name for it too, which I will post if the name changes.
I am thrilled to introduce more of you to my mom and her winning ways. I hope the article gives you readers with a dream a little boost to keep going because life can beat the crap out of you. I know my mom’s example helps me keep going when I’d rather quit. Or maybe it’s just that vaguely threatening tone in her voice that I can still hear, saying, “Don’d you dare quit!”
The most embarrassing thing that happened when my mom got her 15 minutes of fame on that show isn’t even in the Huffington Post Story. But it will be in the book/audiobook, “Come On Down! A Little Story About My Italian Mom’s Big Dream,” which will be coming out in the next few weeks to months. Bringing my mom to life while recording that book was such fun. All those years of imitating her have finally paid off and I am now proud to say I am fully utilizing my once questionable ham and smart ass skill set.

I’ve been blogging for about 10 years so there’s a lot to read. And if you like to cook and bake, you’ll find some good recipes here. It’s not a food blog, but I’m Italian and get very excited about food, so food does come up quite often. And, please feel free to re-post a link to any of my posts so others can enjoy what they read.
If you enjoyed the story about my mom, take a look at the About Fran page of this blog and you’ll see some of my favorite Mom stories. There are lots of recipes here too.

I’m in the process of trying to get all the recipes in this blog into recipe files. Some aren’t in files yet, so I have a lot to do, but I’m working on that and getting my website up and running. I’ll keep you posted on when the audiobook and book become available for purchase.
