After an amazing three week European adventure, my husband and I are back stateside with a few extra pounds and a little jet lag. We had such an amazing trip as we ate and drank our way through Spain, Italy, France and Germany. I knew that all of you would be dying to see what we feasted on while abroad so I did my best to remember to take a few pictures before we dove into our food (it didn't always happen but I tried my hardest). From local markets in each city to amazing pizza, pasta and croque madames - we tried it all! So until I get back into the kitchen this week, I wanted to leave you with some food images that are sure to make your mouth water...happy feasting!

All I can say is YUM! Each picture looks sooooo delicious! I think Europeans definitely know what they're doing! They use fresh ingredients, which I'm sure makes it that much better!

ooh, that curried gnocchi sounds really interesting. i've never had anything like that + since i love both curry + pasta/dumplings, i think i'd love it. maybe i'll try to recreate it at home - thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteMedjool dates are a lusciously sweet and tender variety of dates that have been revered for centuries for their rich flavor and numerous health benefits. These succulent fruits, often referred to as the king of dates, are packed with essential nutrients, including a wide range of vitamins and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, iron, and vitamin B6. Beyond their nutritional value, Medjool dates also offer a natural sweetness that makes them an excellent alternative to refined sugars in cooking and baking.
