Ciao Bella!
Merry Christmas to me! Best thing ever happened today, my dad surprised us with a cooking class in Tuscany. We learned how to make some great authentic italian cuisine. They even provided us with a special cookbook! Hopfeully I remember all the little tricks to make the recipes. We got to make raviolis from scratch by using a hand crank pasta maker to roll out the pasta, a ravioli stamp which gives the grooves and shape of the raviolis, and make the filling with portabella mushrooms and an amazing cream sauce.
Keep it saucy,

For those of you eager to try to make raviolis here is a Step by Step process!

Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving home with their families! I know I definitely did. If your like me then you are probably still so full and are rolling around in order to get from place to place. One of the perks of living in New York is that walking is a great form of exercise. Now that the holiday’s are over I am dreading going back to classes and it’s only a few more weeks until finals! Hopefully I am able to focus long enough to study for my finals because while I was at home my parents surprised me by saying we were taking a trip to Italy over Christmas break! I am so excited because I have always wanted to go there. I probably should get a gym membership and start working out now with all the eating I’ll be doing there.

Ciao Bella!
Yay this week is Thanksgiving and I finally get to go home to see my family! Thanksgiving is a big deal at our house. We prepare food many days in advance and always have a ton of food which makes for great leftovers. Every Thanksgiving is different, we switch off from doing a traditional meal which would be your typical turkey and sides, or we do our family’s version of traditional which is a huge italian spread of amazing dishes. Italians are known for having multiple courses throughout the day so there is never a moment when you aren’t eating. I found this pretty funny article that would perfectly describe what to expect when dining with an italian family. Maybe I should pass it along to John...he’s coming home with me for Thanksgiving! Apparently Thanksgiving isn’t a huge deal in his family so I thought I would show him my version of Thanksgiving. I hope he brings a big appetite!

Do you ever have one of those days where you would sacrifice skipping all of your classes just so you don’t have to get out of bed? Yup, today is one of those days! I used the typical excuse, “I’m sick and can’t make it to class today.” Instead I am choosing to stay in bed to watch one of my favorite cooking shows. No it’s not Paula Dean, way too much butter for me. I’m watching Everyday Italian with chef Giada De Laurentiis! She makes amazingly delicious food and it always looks very well presented to where you just want to reach through the television and grab the food!

Im sitting in class browsing on my laptop all of these amazing dishes on Pinterest. Pinterest is so addicting and has all of these great recipes. I probably should be paying attention to my professor because these notes will probably be on our next test, but how can I focus when all this delicious food is staring me in the face! I mean look at this! Doesn't it look delicious?!
