Hi Everyone! Well, I must confess…..my husband and I are on a mission to use the most healthiest ingredients possible when cooking. Due to a family member’s current battle with cancer, we started educating ourselves regarding how food is formulated, processed, and sold as well as how it how affects our body. A lot of[…]
Hi Everyone! As we enter fall, I was going through my 18 month old’s clothes to see what she has for the next season here in Sicily. My parents will be arriving next month for a visit (can’t wait!) and will be bringing Rebecca a luggage full of clothes (the beauty of being grandparents!) So[…]
Ciao Everyone! If you know me well, you know I love bread….any and all kinds. My 18 month old is the same….she points to bread wherever she finds it and yells “bau! bau!” (….we speak English at home so she responds in English although she fully understands both English and Italian, including the Sicilian dialect!)[…]
Hi Everyone! Yesterday morning, while at the local “mercato”, we picked up some small sized whole fish to cook for lunch. Being short on time, I needed something quick, yet tasty. Since I love to cook all naturally, especially since the birth of our daughter, I decided to throw together some of my favorite ingredients[…]
Hi Everyone! We have some upcoming weddings and so I started early on some beautiful home made gifts. Unfortunately, I can’t show you what I made for now since I’m afraid the bride or groom might see this post….don’t want to spoil the surprise! After the wedding, I’ll show you what I made =). For[…]
Hi Everyone! Now I have to confess, we have been so busy these last couple of months that my husband and I decided to skip town for a week for our 8 year anniversary with our 15 month old daughter….it was wonderful! We rented a cabin near Catania, Sicily in a town called Randazzo. It’s[…]
Hi Everyone! We are now entering summer here in Sicily. And in our home, this means more salad nights! My husband loves salads, so it makes making dinner so much easier….how can you go wrong with a salad right? Well, here’s my delicious recipe for a grilled eggplant salad. It’s the grilled eggplant mixed with[…]
Hi Everyone! As pumpkin season has ended for us here in Sicily, I was still able to find a late bloomer sitting so beautifully at the vegetable and fruit stand where I shop near my home. I was excited to see it because I wanted to make a pumpkin lasagna but had feared there for[…]
Hi Everyone! Ever since I made my first dining room chair cushions for my wrought iron table, I was thinking they weren’t exactly what I wanted. To be honest, I didn’t have a sewing machine at the time (….I didn’t even know how to sew?…) and did everything by hand (….yeah, believe it or not,[…]
Hi Everyone! Today I wanted to share a delicious recipe that’s worth calling an omelette! I actually made it for dinner because I was tired of my boring old omelette which was one of those “what’s for dinner, dear?…an omelette….oh, uh, could we have something else?” type husband to wife question and answer. So now,[…]
