✨ Hello, September! ✨

As much as I love being on holiday, there’s something incredibly comforting about being back home. 🏡🤍

Back to my kitchen, back to preparing food exactly the way I like it: healthy, nourishing, full of flavour, with my favourite spices… and, even better, tomatoes straight from my own garden. 🍅🌿

After weeks of eating out, travelling and doing my best to stay on track, being able to cook a simple, colourful meal like this feels like a little luxury.

And hello September… my absolute favourite month of the year. 🍂✨
Fresh starts, changing colours, new routines, that beautiful end-of-summer feeling… and yes, it might also have something to do with the fact that it’s my birthday month. 😉

Italian summer dump 🇮🇹

4 weeks. So many places, people, emotions & memories.

Home first. Probably the hardest part.
Going back and not finding my mum there anymore hit differently. 🤍
But home is still home… and Dad needed some extra love.
Then Rome.
38°C. Sweaty. Chaotic. Absolutely beautiful.
Because Rome is always a good idea. 🇮🇹
And then Puglia… 🌊
That sea. Those sunsets. The food.
And the warmth of old friends that somehow always feels like home.

I mostly stayed on track with my meal plan…
but refusing a few Italian culinary adventures would have been simply disrespectful. 😂

Now, one last stop in Turin, a little Paris moment and home on Wednesday.

A summer of love, family, friendship, a few tears, lots of laughter, sunshine and definitely good food.

**Not the easiest summer.
But one I’ll remember. 🤍

Ciao Italia… until next time. 🇮🇹**

Who said being on a diet means giving up delicious food? 🤔

Definitely not me! 😏

This high-protein gluten-free pitta is packed with cottage cheese, spinach and boiled egg. It’s creamy, filling, nutritious… and only 361 calories! 💪🥙

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring, it can actually be seriously delicious. ✨

Have you ever reached a point where nothing seems to bring you joy anymore
For weeks, that’s exactly how I felt.

Since losing my mum, I’ve been living with a mix of emotions that are impossible to fully explain: sadness, anger, numbness, and a sense of moving through life on autopilot.

Work, responsibilities, daily routines… I kept going, but the spark was gone.

Then I made a decision: to commit to something just for me.

I started a new training and nutrition programme with , and for the first time in a while, I’m feeling a little motivated again.

What surprises me most is that it’s not just about fitness or food. It’s about rediscovering the pleasure in small things: tending my garden, preparing meals, taking care of myself, and creating healthy habits that make me feel better both physically and mentally.

And yes, the woman who loves oil and butter flavours is now learning to enjoy balanced meals with little more herbs and spices and less fat! 🌿😅 A challenge I never thought I’d embrace, but one I’m actually starting to enjoy.

A huge thank you to for his guidance, patience, and constant support.

And an even bigger thank you to my husband who somehow manages to support all my ideas 😂including completely transforming our diet! ❤️

Grief doesn’t disappear. But sometimes healing starts with the smallest steps.

Have you ever found comfort or motivation in an unexpected place during a difficult time? I’d love to hear from you. 👇

Credo che il tempo sia una di quelle cose che diamo troppo spesso per scontate.
Dovremmo imparare a tenercelo stretto, a non sottovalutarlo, a donarlo per ciò che è davvero: la cosa più preziosa che abbiamo.

Perché il tempo non torna indietro. Non puoi cambiarlo, né modificarlo. Puoi solo accettare, se ci riesci, che sia finito… oppure rimproverarti di non averlo vissuto con abbastanza cura.

Questo è uno degli addii più difficili della mia vita. Ancora oggi faccio fatica a credere che sia reale. È un dolore sordo, costante, presente… che non mi lascia nemmeno per un istante.

Cerco conforto nei ricordi, ma dentro di me vorrei solo poter riavvolgere il nastro e avere ancora un po’ di tempo

Buon viaggio, mamma.
L’unica certezza è che, qualche volta, magari nei sogni, sentirò ancora il tocco della tua mano. ❤️

On this International Women’s Day, I celebrate the women who uplift other women.
The ones who know that strength is not competition.
That another woman’s light does not dim their own.

In the past two years, I’ve been lucky enough to meet beautiful souls and build new friendships that remind me what true support looks like.
And for that, I feel deeply grateful.

But sisterhood also means something else.
It means dignity.
It means boundaries.
It means knowing that another woman’s life, love, and family are not places to wander into looking for crumbs.

Because a woman who knows her worth doesn’t live off pieces of someone else’s life.

And today is also a reminder to the men in our lives:
respect women not just today, but every single day.

Because respect, loyalty, and integrity should never be seasonal.

Happy International Women’s Day
to the women who choose kindness, strength, and respect … always. ✨

There’s something about slow-cooking beef shin ragù in the winter that feels like a warm hug. ❄️🍲
It’s comfort food at its finest — rich, slow-simmered, and full of those nostalgic flavours that always take me back to childhood Sundays in the kitchen. ❤️

This time I paired it with pillowy gnocchi (highly recommend 👌), but honestly… it’s delicious with any pasta shape — or even on its own with a thick slice of good sourdough to soak up every last drop. 🤤

Slow food, simple joy, big memories. ✨
