Being born and raised in the deep South, I do not know where my recently developed taste for spicy food came from. I do not remember much spicy food being served at the dinner table when I was growing up. Although life has taken me far from the South, my love for the Southern cuisine has never diminished.

After all, part of eating a “comforting” memory is that someone we love served it too us. Whether it was because we were suffering from an awful head cold, the flu, got fired from a job or were dumped by a person we thought was our soulmate, having a person who cared serve us something soothing helped-alot.

Red And Green Christmas Lasagna
Lasagna is an ancient dish and goes back to Biblical times. The pasta and cheese dish is found in many parts of Italy. Some food historians think Italian housewives invented the dish to use leftover pasta and sauce. According to “The Cooking of Italy,” a Time-Life Book published in 1968, Italian cooking is not difficult to master and “its diversity is inexhaustible.
Lasagna is one of those diverse recipes. You can make it with ground beef, pork, beef and pork combined, smoked ham, cream sauce, meat and cream sauce, and tomato sauce. Many years ago I was invited to a friend’s house for lasagna. “My lasagna is different,” she explained, “and has a layer of spinach.” I like the spinach addition so much I often add it to my homemade lasagna.
