This recipe is still a dish that reminds me of family, childhood, lunch after school, and the warmth of the house where I grew up! I uploaded it a few days ago in my instagram stories and I received so many more messages as if I made the most appetizing chocolate!

And that is how I realized how much we are alike. That for you too food is emotion, it is love, it is caring!
