There are so many things to be thankful for this time of year in the Garden State. So many of us associate great memories with the great food that goes along with them.

And here in the Garden State, there is no doubt that food, especially made by loved ones, is near and dear to our hearts.

For me personally, my heart and stomach always land in the same place. I love great Italian food, and there is nothing I love more than homemade Italian food. So, that is what I am rooting for.

I was about to be sorely disappointed. With all the great homemade food all over the Garden State, the article chose Pork Roll as our most popular family recipe. Wait. What?

Don't get me wrong. We love our pork roll. But how in the world does it fall in the category of the most popular family recipe?

I guess if you have great breakfast memories and your family had a special way to whip up some pork roll, you'd be happy with this choice, but I was hoping for a big helping of ravioli or gnocchi.

Well, maybe next time.
