Cooking for Friends

I love cooking. It's no secret. It's also no secret that my parents and grandparents are fabulous cooks. I like to think I've learned a bit from them. Recently, I've had friends come over and I've cooked for/with them. We've had a lot of fun! Can't wait to cook more!

A me piace molto fare da mangiare. Non e' un segreto. Tutti sanno che i miei genitori e nonni fanno da mangiare molto buono. Io penso di avere imparato molto da loro. Di recente, ho invitato degli amici a casa e abbiamo fatti da mangiare. Ci siamo divertiti molto! Non vedo l'ora di tornare in cucina!

I modified the recipe because I didn't want to actually peel the tomatoes.

I seeded them, then put them in the pan with the skin. 

I added some tomato paste (about 2 tbsp) and it tasted amazing!
