Win a $25 Gift Card during Publix Italian Days

There's something about cold, rainy weather (and a nasty case of bronchitis) that makes me crave my mother's Italian sauce.  She rarely made it except for special occasions, but I love it with all my heart.  I try to recreate it, but it's not the same.  And even though I use gluten-free pasta, there's just something about my Mama's cooking that I miss right now.

In fact, I'd like to share again my mother's recipe for Italian Sausage Stuffed Lasagna.  It's killer.

Are you craving a little Italian food in your life?  Come by Publix for the Taste the Tradition Italian Days.

When it comes to cooking traditional Italian dishes, the possibilities are endless, and you don’t have to travel all the way to Italy to taste the tradition! With Italian Days, available exclusively at Publix, you can find great prices and coupon savings on some of your favorite brands including Progresso, Green Giant, and Muir Glen and purchase everything you need for great Italian recipes like, Meatballs and Twisters.  (And I checked -- this is easy to adapt to the gluten-free lifestyle.)
