Today I'm talking with food blogger and mom-of-eight, Tina Frank from SpaghettiandConfetti.com. We talk about how Italian-American recipes evolved when families adapted Old World cooking to American ingredients, and the brilliant frugality lessons our grandmothers taught us. The recipe she tells us about uses a two-meat combination and gets baked instead of fried. It also freezes beautifully for quick weeknight dinners!
