Tonight I made gluten-free supplì for the very first time — and not just any supplì… filante. That perfect moment when you break one open and the mozzarella stretches like it’s straight from a little trattoria in Rome.

Golden, crisp on the outside. Creamy, savoury rice on the inside. And that dreamy cheese pull that makes you pause just to admire it.

I held my breath serving them, wondering if they would live up to the memory in my heart… and then my daughter ate them all. Every single one.

There is nothing more gratifying than bringing a little bit of Italia into our kitchen — especially when it’s gluten-free and still tastes like tradition. 🇮🇹✨

Tonight felt like Italy. And that stretch? Bellissima.

There’s something about simple ingredients that feels like a quiet luxury. Especially on cold wintery nights and piles of laundry on the go.

Tonight it was fresh figs. Robiola di capra, soft and impossibly creamy. Bread pressed until golden, the kitchen filling with that warm, toasty scent that feels like comfort. An upscale grilled cheese sandwhich 🥰

I didn’t rush it.
I didn’t scroll while it cooked.
I just stood there and listened to the sizzle.

Sweet. Tangy. Crisp. Melted.

It’s funny how something so uncomplicated can feel so elevated — how a few thoughtful ingredients can turn a tired simple meal into a delicious ritual.

Perhaps this should be part of my promise too.
To slow down.
To savor.
To choose quality.
To make even a sandwich feel intentional.

Simple food.
Full presence.
A little Italian romance in the middle of an ordinary night. 🇮🇹✨

The following is always true to follow but here is a gentle reminder for this Holiday season. 🎄🕎

I know that especially take it to heart with my daughter because when she gives she truly gives from her heart ❤️

🌟✨ When a child hands you a gift, even if it’s just a simple rock, remember: it holds a world of meaning. 💖✨
🪨💝 Every little gift they give is a treasure picked from their heart. It’s a reflection of their love, trust, and pride—pure and precious! So, let’s approach these moments with gratitude and enthusiasm. 🙏🏽🥰
📜 Here’s how to show that appreciation:
1️⃣ **Say Thank You** - Let them know their gesture matters. A heartfelt “thank you” can light up their world! 🌈✨

2️⃣ **Value the Thought** - Remember, this might be their only offering at the moment, so treat it like a true gem! 💎💕
3️⃣ **Cherish the Gift** - Find a special spot for their little treasure. Whether it’s a painted rock or a beautiful shell, display it proudly to celebrate their thoughtfulness. 🏠🌟
4️⃣ **Recognize the Symbol** - Each gift is a message of love. Accept it gracefully to show you treasure their feelings. ❤️💌
Let’s make every moment count and honor the beautiful bond we share with our little ones! What small gifts have brought you joy recently? Share below! 👇🏽💬

Thanksgiving is over…is it too early to start thinking about Christmas…No!!! Did you cut up to many lemons or have some leftover cranberries that didn’t make it into the pot well let’s get creative. I took a mini muffin pan and threw some cranberries and cut my leftover lemon wedges into triangles into each cup. I also had a few sprigs of leftover herbs so I also them. Boiled some water and filled each cup. Placed it in the freezer and once they were solid I put them all into a ziplock bag. Now I use boiling water because it makes clear ice cubes and you get to see all the beautiful colours. These are great for Christmas entertaining or for anytime really. Perfect for a glass of sparkling water or a gin and tonic. Your guests of all ages will appreciate and enjoy them. 🥰

Books have always been my weakness 🥰 they have helped heal me, taught me to dream, see parts of the world, discover new ideas and remember some past ones.

These books represent a few of these things and I can’t wait to dive into them! I only regret not buying a couple other books that my heart desires!!! All these marvels come from a charming book store in Conegliano called libreria Canova.

Grazie a .con !

Today you would’ve been 100 and yet that still would not have been enough time with you. You were my Nonna, my mother, my protector, and my friend. I am proud to be near you with my daughter on your birthday. My heart still aches but I carry your memory with me everyday.
Ti voglio bene

a restaurant rich in history as well as a part of mine is a great stop to add to your itinerary if visiting the Prosecco region. This kitchen has been visited by some of the most famous Italians and yet still stays humble serving some of the best traditional plates with a twist of modernism. We enjoyed some lamb chops and a seafood pasta made in house. Dessert stole the show with a green apple sorbetto topped with some calvados.
Next stop on this day was to a artisanal market in Cison di Valmarino.

A nice morning break. Delicious creamy macchiato espresso with a gluten free lemon cake. All this in a sweet bakery called in Mareno di Piave, in the veneto region. They have some of best pastries around. I appreciate the fact that they have a few gluten free choices. It’s always a must for me!!!!

Had a delicious dinner date .cocinalatina ! First time and will not be the last! So many gluten free options. We ordered the chicken and rice empanadas, tacos pastor, and tacos don birria. All of the dishes had so much flavour but we did end up ordering another tacos Don birria because enjoyed them so much! Next time I will leave room to try the dessert!!!! .

Comfort food at it’s finest. Rustic oxtail ragù on pasta. Simmered for 5 hours on low. Anyone else has been craving something warm and robust these days with the cooler rainy day?
Paired nicely with a glass of Baron De Ley Maturana 2018.

Decided to go for Brunch this year on Easter Sunday and to be honest did not feel like having a celebratory meal on Easter Monday after Pope Francisco’s passing. I had already purchased a leg of lamb and had it marinating so Tuesday a slow cooked this beauty with some potatoes. All though we didn’t do our traditional Easter Sunday we still followed through on our tradition a few days later.

Sharing these traditions with my daughter is important however showing her that it can be done differently is just as important. Life throws us curve balls and sometimes we need to try and roll with them. The best way my girl learns is by observing so slowly we make changes and I know she is always watching.
