We added red peppers and topped a few servings with some giardiniera as well!\

Sunday Splurge
I’m going to a wedding in 2 weeks and recently discovered I didn’t really have anything to wear to it. So this week’s Sunday Splurge is that little black dress that can be worn at any occasion!

Green tip for the month...
Try being vegetarian or, for you brave souls, vegan for one month! If you REALLY give it a shot and work to have good nutrition you’ll notice a huge difference in your energy, your attitude, your health, and even help the environment. Eating less meat is one of the greatest ways to go green! Even if you decide to go back to eating meat, you’ll maybe eat it less (and hopefully choose...
nabedell asked: I came across your post today because I've been having an itch to travel again myself. I got to spend 4 months in Rome and they were 4 of the best months of my life. In reading your post I couldn't help but reach out because, like your grandmother, my grandfather was born in Viareggio. It's a beautiful town if you haven't been before. Right on the beach and just a wonderful...

I have a dream...
Today I got into an argument with my mom about my dreams of travel. For as long as I can remember I have been planning a backpacking trip for after graduation. Knowing that there’s so much outside of home that I haven’t seen makes me feel unqualified to start my life. Nevertheless, the same questions are always asked. What will you do when you get back? Where will you live? How will...
