No one has ever been allowed in the kitchen to work with Nana; that was until I came along. When I started dating my wife Jean her Mom, ‘Big Jean’ AKA Nana, started to warm up to me and recognized my love of food

after a shopping trip to the mall where I came back with a big sauté pan. From that day on I was allowed to observe her working in the kitchen. Eventually I was allowed to help and ultimately I was extolled the virtue ofpreparing some of the fish dishes on Christmas Eve. While no one can ever cook these recipes as good as Nana,

I am doing my best to keep the tradition and flavors alive.Nana’s Cheesy Meatballs
