About Jessica Miano
I’m a wife and mommy to a great husband and two awesome kids living in suburbia. I spent many years of my youth as a dancer which evolved into an education in theater and some more years as an actress in New York. In my spare time I was honing a love for food and wellness that started creeping further into the forefront of my life as I got older. My palate often craves healthy, vegetarian food to complement my loves of fitness, yoga, and meditation. But listen folks, I have a cheeseburger sometimes. I eat pasta at least once a week. I believe fully that eating is about giving your body quality fuel but it also needs to be about enjoyment. I don’t believe in diets, fads, or anything too extreme. I do believe in cooking it yourself, moving your body, and not taking anything too seriously.
What the hell does Kale Macaroni Mama mean? So glad you asked. My husband openly admits his hatred of kale on a daily basis despite my insistence of its superfood status. I find kale to be a food that is considered by most to be “healthy” (even though I’m sure someone, somewhere is frying it bacon fat as I type this). The macaroni is an homage to my Italian heritage and upbringing. While I was growing up I often found myself gravitating towards the kitchen, whether it was learning about gourmet and family recipes from my dad, baking with my mom, or helping my aunts in the kitchen. Later, I started cooking with friends and cousins. When I married an Italian guy I started hanging out with his mom and family in the kitchen too. There is much passion, love, and flavor infused into Italian cuisine and it influences so much of what I make. What about mama? I love this word. It is often a child’s first word. I still remember the way my heart melted the first time my son uttered it somewhere near my direction.
