Funny memoir reminiscent of My Big Fat Greek Wedding

[Emily]

I bought the book in the early 2000s, the cover had a woman looking into a fridge, she made fun of herself for being sloppy, chubby, and had an overwhelming family, maybe Italian? Early in the book she met a guy and didn’t know how to keep him so she kept cooking him cutlets because it was all she knew how to make

Life Al Dente?

Crazy in the Kitchen?

Covers don't seem to match, though.
