Today is inauguration day back in the US. FINALLY. Today is inauguration day back in the US. FINALLY.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was a bit at a loss of what to say today.

Complete with a little free library and the most gorgeous dogs! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While there, definitely get something with polenta - a staple of the area, they had some of the best polenta I've tasted. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Full disclosure: this gorgeous spot will be covered in at least a foot of snow right now.

Tonight: ordering takeout (virtually nonexistent pre-covid for Italy) and drinking wine grown 10 feet from our room. . This style getaway is an introvert’s DREAM.

January healthy, but make it DELISH!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know the beginning of the year is usually a reset for folks. I'm in that boat too. But one thing I'm learning about Italian food is that healthy is definite SOOOOO differently than in the States! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For one thing, Italians eat pasta and dairy pretty much daily. The main difference: Italians believe it in eating real food. No chemicals, preservatives, or weird processed food.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And you know what? I feel better eating this way! I'm not depriving myself from delicious local, real food, but still choosing better about what goes into my body. I love this attitude. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All of that to say: this kale pasta with sausage is delicious and chock full of real local seasonal ingredients! It's also a great comfort food without loading up on creaminess. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Grab the link in bio today!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #eatingfortheinstagram #instafood #homemade #kitchn #epicurious #nytimescooking #feastgram #amateurcook #homecooking #simplefood #teaspooncooks #f52 #f52gram #easydinners⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #marthastewart #smittenkitchen #ontheplate #mealplanning #whatsfordinnertonight #easydinner ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #teaspoonrecipe #healthyItalian⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #eatItalian #Italianrecipe #Italianrecipes #homemadeItalian ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #eatmorepasta #pastatime
I miss this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's oka I miss this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's okay to own the fact that we miss this. I miss the giddy feeling that comes with exploring a foreign city. I miss climbing the tower, wandering the museum, exploring the historic district, trying the local food. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The only way we're going to make it through is by acknowledging the hard parts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think travel restrictions are 100% valid and I'm not combating them. But I also think there's room for us to respect the rules and still be sad about them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Room to be honest: what do you miss? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And then, what are you doing to cope? Honestly, I think these questions need to be joined. I'm making tons of lists of what to do when we can travel, what countries and cities and foods I want to try. And I'm throwing myself into Italian to speak like a local! . . . . . . #folktraveler #afarmedia #huffposttravel #tripadvisorpic #traveldreamseekers #nowdiscovering #girlsdreamtravel #girlaroundtheworld #passportcollective #romania #romania🇷🇴 #bucharest #beautifulromania #ig_romania #travelerinbucharest #travelerinRomania #exploreromania #discoverRomania #seekadventure #packyourbags #likealocal #womenwhotravelsolo #femalesolotraveler #travelsolo #roamingwomen #girlvsglobe #travelinladies #explorerbabes #roamingwomen #wanderwomen
