Seashells and sand – macro

The warm weather is finally coming out to play and it’s making me want to go to the beach… Since I can’t yet I took some shots of a conch shell that my family brought back from the Cayman Islands years ago, and a vile of sand and baby shells that my boyfriend brought home … Continue reading »

Florence for four, dinner and dessert

A Florence-inspired dinner for four… This week I’m excited to share some tasty recipes courtesy of Giada de Laurentiis.

Risotto con gamberi e zucca

Ciao! Benvenuto alla cena Roma! Greece offered some pretty fantastic cuisine but it only got better as we moved our way along the map to Rome. Italian food holds a special place in my heart. Although I don’t choose it most days out of the week (I’m a Mexican food junkie), I do love the … Continue reading »

Reincarnation of a Greek meal

My favorite meal from Greece is now an easy meal at home. The only thing missing is the view of Acropolis.
