Holy Cannoli! The Adventures of the Sweet Couple

Logan and I traveled to Milan this weekend, a mini weekend gateway! It was really nice for just the both of us to travel the two of us. On our trip, we had a lot of delicious food and experiences. I wanted to share a bit of our journey through photos below!  First stop: L'ov Milano  This was a small little restaurant/cafe' with excellent food, staff, and atmosphere.  Pasta cabonara: No it was not really the way Chef taught us in class, but it was absolutely delicious. Seasoned to perfection, al dente pasta, and an egg "sauce" like no other.   Logan & I shared a ceasar salad... no this was not like any other ceasar salad that I have ever had, but it was very tasty. There was chicken, apple, and dill on both radicchio and lettuce. The dressing was a creamy dill, which had a very fresh and fragrant taste.   This was a "flourless chocolate torta," but really it should be named best dessert in Italy. The bottom was more of a cookie cr...

We had a very busy weekend because not only did we go to FICO, we also went to Pisa and Florence!  Pisa is a very beautiful city, but there is not much to do in it. If I was to suggest the way to see Pisa to someone, it would be to stay in Florence and take a train for 1 hour to Pisa. It is definitely a place that you want to see, mainly because of the Leaning Tower, but it would not be a place that I would want to spend too much time in.  We also went to Florence, which is absolutely breathtaking. The Duomo is the largest that we have seen and it is so detailed and colorful. Pictures do not do it justice!  Also in Florence, there are a lot of pastry shops! I was definitely in my glory because every time we turned a corner, there was another one. It was hard to resist the temptation, but I did it! From torrone to chocolates to cupcakes and everything in between, there is something for everyone's sweet tooth. We went to one bakery and it was so...

This weekend, we flew to Bologna and were lucky enough to visit FICO Eataly World! This food amusement park opened just a few months ago in November. From one end to the other, it is about a mile of restaurants, attractions, animals, and of course, a lot of food samples. This was every foodie's dream - surrounded by food for a day! We stayed for about eight hours, yes eight, and made sure to see everything from the attractions to dining at the restaurants and everything in between! This is a must-see for anyone traveling to Bologna!    When you get to the entrance, you are immediately taken back by the size of this place! It is enormous, with the entrance on one end and the exit on the other. From the moment we stepped in, I knew it was going to be a long, but exciting time. One of my favorite parts was all of the information areas that explained things like why FICO world or about the different regions and where the food is coming from. This is definitely a s...

This weekend we were able to travel around Puglia and I wanted to share with you the places that we went! I split this blog post from the Michelin star one, but everything was done in the same weekend. That experience was one that stood alone, therefore that is why it is not included in this, but once you read this one, move to that one!! For each post, I will tell you a fun fact about the history of the city. Ostuni  This city is known as "the white city" because a lot of the city is made out of limestone. It is absolutely gorgeous, built on hills, standing high above the water.  Ostuni has been inhabited since the Stone Age, originally established by the Messapii, but was then destroyed in the Punic Wars.   We dined at a restaurant that looked like it was built into a cave. The food was a prefix menu with a taste of Ostuni in each course. This restaurant focused on locality, something I absolutely love. I got both fish options because we were ri...
