"@tuttorossotomatoes @thefeedfeed (#ad) December… a time for slowing down, spending time with loved ones & cozying up with some comfort food. Macaroni & peas is a specialty in my family and making it this time of year always brings me back to my childhood- sitting at my Aunt’s dining room table enjoying this dish with the people I love. Food has the power to bring us together and it’s beautiful that something so simple can create the happiest memories. I am lucky to have Tuttorosso tomatoes to help bring my recipes to life with that authentic Italian flavor that is so special to me. Being a family-owned company, Tuttorosso truly understands the difference high-quality ingredients make in the meals we create at home. Looking forward to a season filled with wonderful memories, family & food 🍅❤️️ #feedfeed #tuttorossotomatoes"
