<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This week was a bit of a struggle...Brian had to work all through the weekend so neither of us really had a break. Finally yesterday he had a day off and I got to get out of the house and he got to spend quality time with Hazel. It was a win win. But during the week we did have a small break from the rain so Hazel and I took a walk, I baked a cake and got to try out a new lunch place. So even though I was beyond exhausted we still had a good time.</span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This week has gone by so fast surprisingly. Every January when Brian is working so many hours the month can tend to drag on but now I have a new time consuming distraction :) </span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hey I'm back! I am thinking 1 post a week seems about the speed at which I will be writing. If I commit to more than I will feel my over commitment looming over my head and then I will feel guilty because I am only posting once a week. So... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For the very first time EVER I tried to make sunny side up eggs and they actually turned out. I was always intimidated because it's too easy to mess up (or so I heard). But there is a show called America's Test Kitchen that I love and I used their method. It's pretty easy actually and great for making multiple eggs at once. Here's what you do...</span></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Put 2 eggs in a small cup (if you are making more than place other 2 eggs in another small cup) Season with salt and pepper. Set aside</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Heat pan on low for 5 minutes</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Once it hits 5 minutes crank up the heat to medium high</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pour the eggs in the pan</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Cover the pan for 2 minutes (no peeking!) </span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Take the pan off the heat still covered anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on how runny you like the yolk. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tada! It's ready! See? Easy peasy. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used the eggs for tacos</span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Most of you already know I had Hazel back in July. That's nearly<br />six months ago already! I love looking back and seeing how much she has changed. Currently...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">-laughing all the time</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">-rolling over any chance she gets</span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello again!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's been a VERY long time since I have posted. Way before I was even pregnant. I have decided to start blogging again because I was reminiscing the other night going over past blog entries and remembering how much fun I had doing it. Only this time another little person will be included...miss Hazel. I will still be sharing delicious recipes, adventures and day to day activities that I find amusing. I hope this time I will remain consistent in posting! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Are you ready for the indulgence of all indulgences in the pasta world? Yep, it's carbonara and good Lord it's good! I sort of put off making this dish only because it's worthy of clogging the ol' arteries but after several requests for it I decided to make this little treat. It really is super easy and this recipe came pretty dang close to the carbonara we had in Rome. The only thing I would change is to not add any extra salt since the pancetta has plenty. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Ingredients:</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1lb pancetta, diced into 1" cubes</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">sea salt and freshly ground pepper</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">6 eggs, at room temperature</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1/2 cup heavy cream, at room temperature</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1lb dried pasta, I used spaghetti </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">4 tbsp chopped fresh parsley leaves</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Directions:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Heat a large saute pan, until hot. Add pancetta and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Season with black pepper and remove from pan from heat.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and cream together. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in parmesan, reserving 2 tbsp for garnish. Or just grate extra for garnish like I did. Set aside.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Heat a pot of water and cook pasta until al dente. Drain pasta in a colander. Do not rinse the pasta with water; you want to retain the natural starches so that the sauce will stick.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">While the pasta is still hot, return it back to the pot. Add the pancetta and mix well. Add the egg and cream mixture and coat the pasta completely. It's important to work quickly while the pasta is still warm so that the cream mixture will cook, but not curdle. Add the remaining parmesan and parsley leaves to garnish. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Ready to serve! </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I made this dish for a small dinner party so I didn't have time to take pictures so here's the picture from Giada </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Recently I have seen a few different posts on pinterest and other blogs about making your own doughnuts. My whole pregnancy I have really craved a dang doughnut but have successfully dodged them up until this point. These recipes are baked rather than fried and have a few substitutes that make them a little healthier. Here are 2 different recipes that caught my eye. I think my doughnut hiatus is over! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Here's a dish to put you in the mood for summer! I needed that yesterday and this meal really hit the spot. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Ingredients:</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">4 bone in pork chops</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 tbsp (or less if desired) salt</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 tbsp sugar</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 tbsp ground coriander</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">4 ears corn, remove kernels </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 limes, zested and juiced</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1/4 cup cilantro, chopped</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 pint sweet tomatoes, diced</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 jalapeno, minced</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">3 scallions, chopped</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 clove garlic, minced</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 tbsp olive oil</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Directions:</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Combine the sugar, salt and coriander. Rub each of the pork chops on both sides with the mixture, and refrigerate overnight. I didn't buy them ahead of time so I just seasoned and waiting 30 minutes and then cooked them. If you do it this way, I would add less salt. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Preheat oven to 350 degrees F</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In a large bowl for the salad, add the lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, tomatoes, scallions and garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat with olive oil. Once hot add the corn and jalapeno. I cooked for about 5 minutes. Toss in the salad bowl and mix everything together. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Add a little more olive oil to the pan and add the pork chops. Brown both sides. Once browned, throw in the oven for about 5 minutes or until completely cooked inside. I had my trusty meat thermometer to help me. You can cook the pork chops solely on the cook top if you want...I just decided to finish them off in the oven. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The original recipe calls for a bbq but I had to improvise seeing as how we are still pretty rainy here. </span></li>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Anyone else always on the hunt for easy and filling breakfast ideas? I have the luxury of eating whenever I'm hungry, and trust me it's a lot these days, but Brian always eats in the car on the way to work or at his desk at work. So it's nice for him to have something in his stomach to fuel him for a few hours. I know I make a lot of things from The Chew but seriously, they make so many good things! Enter: the ham and cheese danish. This one is as easy as layering and assembling but feels a little extra fancy because it's in a puff pastry. Side note, I made these Monday night and refrigerated them overnight to serve each morning...trust me, you want to reheat. It's not that great cold. Lesson learned. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Ingredients:</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 sheet puff pastry</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 onion, thinly sliced</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 tbsp olive oil</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">salt and freshly ground black pepper</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1/4 cup gruyere, shredded</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">4 slices cooked ham, you can use deli meat</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 egg</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1/4 cup creme fraiche</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">chives, finely chopped for garnish</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Directions:</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Preheat oven to 400 degrees F</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In a medium saute pan over medium low heat, add 2 tbsp olive oil. Add sliced onions and cook until onions turn golden brown and release their natural sugar, about 30 minutes. Add a bit of water to the pan as necessary if brown bits begin to form on the bottom. Not too much though! Season with salt and pepper. Allow onions to cool.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">To form the danish, on one half of the pastry, place half of the caramelized onions, half of the cheese and half of the ham, leaving a 1" border around the edges. Repeat with remaining ingredients, seasoning each layer. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In a small bowl, beat 1 egg. Brush the 1" border with the beaten egg and then carefully fold the pastry over the ingredients, like you are closing a book. Crimp the edges all around the border to seal and transfer the pastry to a parchment lined sheet pan. Brush the entire pastry with the beaten egg. Using a sharp knife, cut a few slices on top of the pastry. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Top the danish with creme fraiche and chopped chives. </span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I know I said last week that we are trying to eat better...well yesterday we decided to cheat and have something wonderfully indulgent. I made oven-fried chicken with cornbread and broccoli slaw. It hit the spot! I also made smoothies which I guess are slightly healthier however it still is quite a bit of sugar. After being married to Brian if there is 1 skill I have acquired it's definitely nutrition knowledge. (Do put that good knowledge to use? Of course not!) "Sugar is sugar" he would say, doesn't matter what the source is. On the plus side, this smoothie has no added sugar. Hooray! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Oven-Fried Chicken</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Ingredients:</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">8 pieces of chicken (thighs, drumsticks, breasts, whatever you prefer)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 quart buttermilk</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 cups all purpose flour</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 tbsp kosher salt</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 tbsp freshly ground pepper</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">vegetable oil or shortening</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Directions:</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Take the chicken out of the buttermilk and coat each piece thoroughly with the flour mixture. Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed stockpot (I used my dutch oven) to a depth of 1 inch and heat to 360 degrees F on a thermometer. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Working in batches, carefully place several pieces of chicken in the oil and fry for about 3 minutes on each side until the coating is a light golden brown (it will continue to cook in the oven). Don't crowd the pieces. Remove the chicken from the oil and place each piece on a metal baking rack set on a sheet pan. Allow the oil to return to 360 degrees before frying the next batch. When all the chicken is fried, bake for 30-40 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink inside. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Truth be told I am obsessed with Safeway's broccoli slaw and boxed cornbread. YUM </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Anyone else have a go to food when sick? Mine is a family soup recipe that I make myself usually in the midst of the sickness storm but even in the middle of feeling like death, the ritual of making the soup and then being able to eat it somehow helps. Maybe it's just mental. Whatever works right?? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This week Brian and I decided to start eating a bit healthier. Not that we really eat that much junk food but I definitely tend to indulge a bit more than usual when it comes to cooking dinner. Anyways, I mention the sicky part because this soup could easily become a new "sick soup." It's got loads of garlic, jalapeno and lemon, etc...all wonderful for you when sick. And it's delicious and filling. A win in my book! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Ingredients:</span></b></div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 1/2 cups farro (rinsed)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 heads garlic</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">extra virgin olive oil</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">salt</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">6 cups chicken broth</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 yellow onion, diced</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 medium carrots, sliced into coins</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 jalapeno, sliced</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 cups leftover shredded chicken</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 lemon, juiced</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Directions:</span></b></div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Cook farro according to package instructions and set aside</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut garlic bulbs crosswise to remove the tops and expose the cloves. Place the bulbs on a large piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil and salt. Gather the edges of aluminum and press together to completely encapsulate the garlic like a little tent. Bake for 30 minutes. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Remove garlic from oven and carefully open up the package. Garlic cloves should be soft and golden. Squeeze out the softened cloves from the bulb, discarding the skins. Blend garlic into the broth using an immersion blender or traditional blender. Set aside. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Heat a large dutch oven over medium with a few tablespoons of olive oil. Saute the onions and carrots, seasoning with salt, until soft and translucent. Add sliced jalapenos and cook for 2 minutes or until soft. Stir in ginger and cook until fragrant. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Stir in the garlic chicken broth and parsley. Add cooked farro, shredded chicken and lemon. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary and serve warm. </span></li>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I made this Greek stew Monday night which is a healthier version of beef stifado. Both recipes were made on The Chew (I love them!) and so I thought it's probably better I go with the healthier version considering I don't want to gain all my baby weight in one night. Honestly, I couldn't have even told you it was "healthy" because it was super hearty and full of flavor. Definitely keeping this recipe on hand. </span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Next, add the garlic, tomato paste, oregano, allspice, and nutmeg. Stir to combine and toast everything for 30 seconds. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Next, add the wine, tomato puree, stock and bay leaves. Add the potatoes and cooked mushrooms. Bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Remove from the heat. Garnish with parsley and a dollop of yogurt. </span></li>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Sunday morning I woke up before Brian (never happens) and decided that making him pancakes would be a nice surprise. So I put my jacket on, headed to the store to get a couple missing ingredients and even got a couple boxes of girl scout cookies on my way out. I was off to a good start! After seeing this recipe I thought that these have to be amazing based on the title alone. And they were!! Delicious! It makes eating pancakes just a little more special.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It's been a few months since I have posted and I figured I would start back up again eventually...it just took a darn good recipe to do the trick. Tonight I made pasta puttanesca for the first time. It was incredibly easy and very tasty. </span>Give it a whirl!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Ingredients</b>:</span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta and cook accordingly</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">While the water is heating up, heat the oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Add the parsley, olives, capers, anchovy paste, oregano and red peppers. Saute for about 2 minutes</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I don't condone violence in any way but when I saw this video I literally laughed out loud several times because I watched it like 10x in a row. We have all been there...we patiently wait for a parking spot even with our blinkers on and some jerk swoops right in a steals it. It gets my blood boiling just thinking of it. I better watch this video again.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">During our stay in Florence we signed ourselves up for a "wine tour." Just an fyi, it's not really a wine tour, it's a bus tour that takes you to 3 small towns and 1 wine tasting at the very end. Regardless it was fun and relaxing. We were mixed in with a tour bus full of tourists from everywhere and our tour guide gave the whole thing in 3 languages. She was a riot! There were at least a handful to times that we all giggled at her because she was extremely loud, theatrical and just a real character. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">After staying in Rome for about 4 days we had planned to rent a car and drive to a winery in Chianti for one night before hitting up Florence. I will just add that I will NEVER rent a car again in Italy unless I absolutely need to. Actually, now that we know where to get the car and where to drop it off maybe I will do it again. The amount of time we spent trying to locate the rental car place in Rome, wait in the line to get the car and find the rental drop off in Florence must have equaled at least 4.5 hours. Exhausting. The actual driving part however was great...being able to go where we please, make stops, etc. I drove because the car was manual and actually found driving through downtown Rome and Florence was pretty easy. Brian said he was really nervous probably because he wasn't the one in control. But if it weren't for his excellent navigating skills we would probably still be stuck in Rome trying to exit a dang roundabout.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The winery was one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed at and also one of the most relaxing. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. One funny bit was after unloading the car in their "loading/unloading parking" I had to move the car to the lot below. The guy telling me where to go literally had to chase me down and correct me like 3x because I kept thinking I was going the right way but obviously wasn't. I'm sure he thought I wasn't fit for driving but to my defense this long skinny driveway down to the lot was not easy to spot! Even though Rome was my favorite city Tuscany is without a doubt breathtaking and will always hold a special place in my heart. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Well here I am trying to figure out how to choose only a few pictures out of the 1 million that I have taken. Impossible. So I will have to break them up into sections. It's a lot of pictures but not all...I'll spare you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> It has been 1 week since we have been back and I am STILL super jet lagged. I am going to sleep around 9 and have this lingering nausea and upset stomach. Don't worry, I looked it up and it's common :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Anyways, let's start with Roma. Rome was my favorite city! Last time I went to Rome it was only for a weekend and absolutely loved it so I knew it would be even better coming back. It had the best food, the Romans were the most friendly and the city is absolutely beautiful with all the hustle and bustle. I just about died with love seeing the Roman women riding their adorable bicycles to work dressed to the nine weaving through cars, some even chatting on their cell phone and/or smoking their cigarettes. In fact, Italy is trying to pass a new law that bicycle riders would no longer be able to talk on their mobiles or smoke while riding because it's "dangerous." haha! In my opinion, you can't take that away from Italians...you just can't! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It was my first go at it and well..it turned out pretty dang good! Once again I referred to my Giada book. So far she hasn't disappointed! And I'm so glad it didn't disappoint because lasagna is a lot of work!! Especially if you don't already have all your sauces pre-made which unfortunately for me I didn't. So all the prep time before cooking took about 3 1/2 hours. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 tbsp vegetable oil</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">15 dry lasagna noodles, I used the whole package from Barilla</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 lb beef ground beef</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 lb ground pork (the recipe doesn't call for pork but I had to use it up)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 tsp pepper, plus more to taste</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 1/2 cups béchamel sauce (recipe below)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 1/2 cups marinara sauce (recipe below)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1 1/2 lbs whole-milk ricotta cheese</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">3 large eggs</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 tbsp butter</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> <b>Béchamel Sauce:</b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">5 tbsp butter</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1/2 cup all purpose flour</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">4 cups warm whole milk</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1/2 tsp salt, plus more to taste</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">pinch of freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">pinch of ground nutmeg, plus more to taste</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In a 2 qt. saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the warm milk, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming. Simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thick, smooth, and creamy, about 10 minutes (do not allow the sauce to boil). Remove from the heat and stir 1/2 tsp of salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. (The sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead. Cool, then cover and refrigerate.) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Marinara Sauce</b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 small onions, finely chopped</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 garlic cloves, finely chopped</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 celery stalks, finely chopped</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1/2 tsp sea salt, plus more to taste</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 32 ounce cans crushed tomatoes (san marzano is the best!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 dried bay leaves</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> </b>In a large pot, heat the oil over a medium high flame. Add the onions and garlic and saute until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the celery, carrots and 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and bay leaves, and simmer until the sauce thickens, about an hour. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. (This sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, then cover and refrigerate.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Ok! On to the fun part!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the vegetable oil to help prevent the noodles from sticking. Cook the lasagna until almost al dente, about 6 minutes (this will prevent the noodles from becoming mushy in the lasagna). Drain, then rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking and help remove any excess starch. Cover lightly with a damp towel to prevent the pasta from drying out. Set aside.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over a medium high flame. Add the meat and 1/2 tsp of each salt and pepper and saute until the meat is fully cooked, breaking up any large clumps. Remove from heat, drain any excess fat and let cool completely. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In a medium bowl, mix the béchamel and marinara sauces to blend. Season the sauce with more salt and pepper to taste.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In another medium bowl, mix the ricotta, eggs, and 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper to blend. Set aside. Spread the butter over a 13x9 inch baking dish. Spoon 1/3 of the béchamel-marinara sauce over the bottom of the dish. Arrange 5 lasagna noodles atop the sauce, overlapping slightly and covering the bottom of the dish completely. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly on top of the noodles. Arrange 5 more lasagna noodles, then top with the ground beef. Spoon more of the béchamel-marinara sauce over it then sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat until finished. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top. (This lasagna can be made 1 day ahead. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Uncover before baking). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Bake lasagna until heated through and the top is bubbling, about 45 minutes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> This last picture I just had to share because I found it so funny/cute. This is Brian zealously picking berries hoping that I would make him a berry pie. Well, I caved and made him one. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This weekend was filled with relaxing, eating, cooking and enjoying the sunshine. We went into Seattle, ate lunch at a favorite spot then walked to find some coffee. The coffee spot just happened to be a few blocks away from a tiny little opening to lake union. We sat, people watched, drank our coffee and watched the blue angels fly above. I couldn't have asked for a more relaxing afternoon. I also spent about 3 hours preparing a lasagna for Sunday...but I'll write about that in a separate post. </span></div>

Unfortunately it was the only week this whole summer that we have had thunderstorms. Go figure. All well, we kept busy doing inside stuff and I made him fettuccini alfredo. Brian had actually been requesting it for some time and I kept procrastinating but since we had a special guest I thought it was the perfect time. Before now I had never made alfredo sauce and didn't know how much work I had to put in. I couldn't believe it was so easy! For this recipe I relied on my Giada book. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">18 ounces fettuccini</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 1/2 cups heavy cream</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1/2 cup fresh lemon juice</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">12 tbsp butter (I used less)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2 cups grated parmesan </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">pinch ground nutmeg</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">salt & pepper</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Directions:</b></span><br />
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Stir 2 cups of the cream and the lemon juice in a heavy large
skillet to blend. Add the butter and cook over medium heat just until
the butter melts, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Remove from
the heat.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Add the sauce to the pasta. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cream, and
Parmesan to the cream sauce. Add the nutmeg,
salt, and pepper. Toss the pasta mixture over low heat until the
sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.</span></li>
</ul>
