I is for...Ideals Around the World Cookbook

Doesn't this cover make you feel like you've stepped into an Italian kitchen half a world away?

This cookbook brings back memories.  One thing I am very grateful for is all the diverse international foods I was exposed to in my childhood before all the food allergy/sensitivity biz kicked in, and this book was one of several Mom used with us in making the homemade variety of foods.

For tonight's midnight snack/slash lunch tomorrow, I went for the Mexican Open Face Sandwiches. I happened to skip a sauce tonight, but  replacing the tomato sauce with butternut squash sauce is a good alternative for this and for pizza if you can't have tomatoes.
