Thanksgiving is about two things – food and family. Ask anyone what kind of stuffing they like, or how they prefer their mashed potatoes and there is a good chance the will say how their mom, dad or grandparent has been preparing it all their lives. These recipes are as much a part of a family’s history as the memories of the times they’ve enjoyed them.
Through the years, a family’s shared love of the food that is only theirs, ties them together. Just look at what’s on the menu for a family feast and you have a unique view of how different cultures converge to form who that family is today.
This is very much the case for the Rome family. A combination of Croatian, Ukrainian and Italian recipes all have a place at their table. After losing a vital member of their family, Matthew along with his daughter Cheryl work hard to keep the love alive through the food and gatherings of their family.
Chris Karsisiotis, store manager for the Loblaws Burnhamthorpe, was excited to have Matthew and Cheryl in-store. He said they a have a lot of “Matthew”, family members who love food and want to keep memories alive, who come into the store looking for ingredients and suggestions on how to make things taste just like they remember. At Loblaws, they’re proud of the role they play in helping to keep these traditions going.
I love holidays, the time spent together with family and making memories… including loving the food that we typically have on those holidays. They’re the perfect association with one another.

We love celebrating with delicious food and desserts. We are such foodies. We try and out do ourselves each year or each other with new recipes.
I love holidays spent with the family. The food is always more special when you are surround by all your family. My favourite food at Thanksgiving is Sausage stuffing and Pumpkin pie.
