Since June, food has been in the forefront of my thoughts. First, there was the trip to Italy in the second half of June where my mom, my sister and I savored the wonderful delights of Northern Italian cuisine–my clothes still don’t quite fit as they should… Many of the foods, and the ways in which they were prepared, reminded… (more…)

Footprint Friday: Bellisima Green Challenge–The Future of Food
Have you had an opportunity to see “The Future of Food” yet? This was not a movie that made it to your local theater, but it continues to impact those of us who get an opportunity to view it.

Tasty Thursday–Bellisima Cucina: Kale, Mushroom and Tomato Saute with Polenta
Now that I’m home from Italy, I’ve been feeling inspired to look for new dishes with an Italian flair.
