  • Learning the Language of a Family
    Jan 18 2026

    Featuring my husband


    In this episode of Spill the Sauce, I’m joined by my husband to talk about what it means to marry into a family where the culture already exists before you arrive.


    We talk about learning a language that isn’t taught — it’s lived.

    The unspoken rules. The rhythm of the table. The way food becomes connection.

    And how belonging slowly takes shape through showing up again and again.


    This isn’t a conversation about being Italian or Italian-American.

    It’s about stepping into a family, learning its language in real time, and discovering what gets carried forward intentionally.


    Pull up a chair.

  • Why Sunday Dinner Is Never Just Dinner
    Jan 11 2026

    Sunday dinner was never just about food.
    It was about showing up, staying, loving loudly, and holding space for joy and grief at the same table.

    In this first episode of Spill the Sauce: A Sunday Table Podcast, I talk about food, family, memory, and the moments that shape us — often without us realizing it.

    Like Sunday dinner — messy, funny, heartfelt, and un po’ pazza.
    Pull up a chair.
