When the amazing award winning nutritionist, cookbook author and teacherRobyn Webb asked me to guest post on her Fabulous Food Finds blog, I was happy to contribute! In addition to being a culinary queen, Robyn is a fellow Syracuse University alumni (Go Orange!) and also gave me some valuable tips for when we traveled to Italy. I [...]

This past weekend, Elizabeth and I packed our (day) bags and headed out to visit Jess for a little Stay-cation day of R & R & Food. Obviously. What do 2 dietitians and 1 RD-to-be like to do for fun? Hit up Chili and Salsa festivals in New Hampshire, of course. We went to a hoppin’ [...]

The other night I had the ingredients on hand to make a simple stir fry. I followed an Eating Well recipe for Tofu & Broccoli Stir Fry and I didn’t plan on blogging about it, because you’ve seen simple stir frys here before. But about halfway through cooking, I realized: This stir fry is amazing! [...]

The other day I received a box of Uncle Sam cereal to taste and review. I’ve eaten Uncle Sam cereal before and love it for its simplicity and high quality nutrient profile. I don’t like to do anything fancy with my breakfast cereal, so lately I’ve been enjoying it sprinkled on top of my morning [...]

The other day I got a present in the mail that I am SO excited about. The nice people at TofuXpress  sent me their tofu press to review. I love any new kitchen gadgets and within hours of the UPS man dropping this off at my door, I got to work on a tofu dish [...]

On one of the two nights in Florence where we weren’t wined and dined in the Villa San Michele restaurant, Funk and I had plans to visit Acqua al 2, at the recommendation of Jaime and some twitter peeps who raved about it. We actually wanted to go there on our first night in Italy [...]

On our first full day in Italy, we went with a driver for a full-day tour of the Tuscany wine region. Funk and I love wine tours and this one did not disappoint. Our guide, Suzanna knew the region and wine information inside and out. She was such a wealth of knowledge! And she handled [...]

Remember back in March when I won the trip of a lifetime to Italy from Dr. Oetker’s Ristorante Pizza? I didn’t think people actually won those trips either but we did! And after a few months planning, we decided to spend our 5 days in Florence at the most amazing villa on earth: Villa San Michele. [...]
