We had our first snow today here in Michigan. It sure was a soup day. Lots of pots to wash.  It was also a hot drink day!  Our ice cream flavored hot chocolate and coffee are the best. Peppermint Mocha and Milkyway hot chocolate are a favorite at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop®, Pitas and Subs. Others among the holiday flavors are Pumpkin Spice, Egg Nog, Frosted Gingerbread, Amaretto Cherry, White Russian, and of course Spumoni. These flavors are also among the 50 Flavors of Tornado® Shakes just in time for the Holiday Season.

You can enjoy one of our very own signature Coffees or Hot Chocolates only at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop®, Pitas & Subs located on the NW Corner of 21 Mile & Hayes in Shelby Township, the Hot Ice Cream Parlor serving Ashby’s Sterling Premium Ice Cream. www.soup-scoop.com 

As far back as I can remember, at the age of 6, I was baking. My grandma would make me roll the dough for her italian cookies.  During the holidays she would get the dough ready during the day, and after school  I would bake them.  When I had nothing to do I would create and bake.  Since then, I have dessert catered my cookies along with other finger desserts. Some of the favorite cookies include Italian cookies, chocolate chip, snickerdoodles, white chocolate raspberry, kiss cookies, and many more.  During the holidays at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop you can get Italian cookies, chocolate chip, pumpkin chocolate chip, egg nog, chocolate mint, and white chocolate cranberry.  These cookies are all orderable. Advanced notice is required.  Our famous chocolate chip cookies make great ice cream sandwiches and sundaes topped with Sanders Hot Fudge and of course Ashbys Ice Cream. They also make great gifts.

Our pasta sauce was first served in my great grandmas restaurant located in Detroit, Michigan back in the 1940′s.  After Mazzola’s Restaurant relocated to Tucson, Arizona, my grandma catered her pasta and meatballs to the Ford Plant in Detroit, Michigan.  Now the tradition lives on.  It can be purchased by the quart to take home.  As a rotating variation to soup, we serve pasta with tomato sauce and also rotate alfredo sauce.  It is available by the cup, bowl, pint, and quart. It is as authentic as it gets. The sauce is simmered all day to get the best flavor.  It is cooked with a special blend of meat to get all of the savory juices.  The meat is then taken out to produce a smooth meatless sauce. We also serve the best homemade meatballs offered on our catering menu.

Come in and enjoy a reminiscence of grandma’s house and taste the family tradition of our homemade pasta sauce at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop®, Pitas & Subs located at 21 Mile and Hayes in Shelby Township, Michigan. You can also have our sauce with penne pasta at your catered event.  www.soup-scoop.com

When we relocated in 2007, we add ice cream to the concept.  My father in law said we had to serve lemon ice just like the italian bakery that he was friends with for many years. My favorite thing is Lemon Ice.  When my mom was in the hospital she would ask for Lemon Ice.  My aunt brought her some, and she said this isn’t the real thing. In her memory, everytime I eat it I think of her.  I bought a machine to make it myself. Just like Italy the customers say!  We squeeze lemons everyday to make it fresh to order. Using the finest Maceri Produce. It is not stored frozen.  I also alternate the flavors, raspberry, strawberry, mango, orange, and lime, but the customers always say where is the lemon.  Lemon Ice is the best thing for a sore throught. We also serve fresh squeezed Hot Lemonade which is also soothing when your sick and it is also great to drink. So most of the time it is lemon. We also twist it with soft serve to make a gelati twist.  Gelati is Italian Ice layer with soft serve, frozen yogurt or frozen custard.  It is an original at Soup & Scoop®.  To go along with the Italian Ice, you can find national award winning Ashbys ice cream in a wide variety of flavors.

Today is the ten year memorial of my mother-in-laws passing.  I will always remember her pasta with escarole.  The combination of olive oil, tomatoes, garlic, and escarole are mouth watering. She used to use long pasta.  I have of course added my own ingredients.  I also use a smaller soup pasta such as bowtie, ditalini, or small shells. The best part is the little chunks of italian cheese that don’t completly melt!
