While my marinara differs from Clemenza’s and most traditional Italian recipes, it has evolved over the last twenty years into a flavor that is woven into the proverbial fabric of my kitchen. I like the sweetness that the onions and carrots give to the acidic tomatoes and wine. I have made this sauce without the wine just to meet comments that my sauce tasted less delicious.

Ham and Cheese Quiche
One of my favorite things to do with holiday leftovers is make quiche. And what more perfect of a leftover to be used for quiche than honey baked ham? Whether it be Christmas or Easter, my mom loves to bring over a honey baked ham. We all thought this was especially ironic when she first started doing it…since my husband is Jewish. But my husband doesn’t abide by the culinary exclusions of his religious upbringing and instead delights in the crunchy sweetness of the honey baked ham. His first bite is accompanied by an audible crunch and then an almost banal “uuummmmm” (minus the y-) followed by “this is just so good.”
