Mangia, Gioia!
Welcome to Mangia, Gioia! This is the site that will help you incorporate more vegetables and fruits into your everyday favorite foods. Whether it be spicy black bean burgers or some melt-in-your-mouth vanilla french toast to satisfy your morning sweet tooth, you came to the right place! Whether you are vegan (like me!) or just want to try something new, this is the site for you! Mangia, Gioia is growing every day, so please stay tuned each week for my blog, new recipes, pictures, and (very soon!) more video demonstrations--all to help you in your culinary endeavors!
You are probably wondering, "What do the words mangia gioia mean??" In Sicilan dialect, mangia gioia (pronounced mahn-ja joy-ah) essentially means "Eat, my joy." Eating family dinners has always been a large part of my life. Even today, I can still envision myself sitting around the dinner table listening to my nonno exclaim, "mangia, gioia!" encouraging his grandchild to eat! And that in itself, my friends, is my overall message to you. Enjoy my recipes--may they bring you health, happiness, and above all--fun in the kitchen. Mangia, gioia!
