I want to take this opportunity to thank all of my wonderful friends in the blogosphere and social media forums for your amazing warmth, gracious likes, faithful follows and cherished comments. You are appreciated beyond words!
Also, I am enormously humbled and grateful to the extreme talents who have nominated “Once Upon a Spice” for the numerous, incredible awards! You are remembered fondly and this Italian gal doesn’t forget! Love & Blessings to each of you…Last and certainly not least I wish to thank my beloved Mama Carmela for instilling in me the drive, passion and severe love of cooking…Ti Amo, Mama!
However, today just for the day, the ‘Kitchen is Closed” due to Birthday!! Mine!!

Agreed 110% Marisa! Nothing like it! It makes memories too! When I was growing up a wonderful woman named Mary would bake me a yellow cake with chocolate fudge frosting from scratch every year for my birthday. My mind still can taste it 😉 Thanks again, Hon ♥
