Sometimes I believe I should have been born Italian.

I talk a lot with my hands. A LOT.

My family would probably say I’m a bit dramatic.

If my mom were still alive she would say A LOT dramatic. I was the baby after all.

I majored in voice performance in college which means I studied singing. 

Opera anyone?

Nah, I was more of a musical theater type.

Maria in West Side Story was my all time favorite role.

Maria was Puerto Rican so I have no idea what that has to do with anything, although I did study Italian diction in college.

I love a good tangent, don’t you?

Anyway, today’s recipe is Crock Pot Cheese Tortellini Soup, which is Italian. See, I have now completed my train of thought!

This soup is now tortellini because spell check does NOT like tortelloni!

I had never even heard of tortelloni but since I’m a homeschooling mom, of course I had to look it up!

The difference between tortelloni and tortellini?

Tortellini are the smaller of the two pastas and are stuffed with a meat filling and typically served in broth or cream sauce.

Tortelloni is larger and has a milder tasting filling, generally a mix of cheeses or some sort of vegetarian filling.

Probably only matters to Italians, which obviously I’m not, except when I get excited and talk with my hands!
