Mangia! Mangia!

I returned early yesterday morning from a weeklong vacation in Italy, and one thing I learned while there is that Italians definitely know how to eat. Luckily for me, pasta, pizza and sandwiches–all Italian staples–are among my top five favorite foods. While I thoroughly enjoyed our carb-overload, I’m equally happy to be back in the States where fruit snacks, cuties (clementines) and peanut butter are my staples.

Pasta arrabiatta-simply delicious

Wine I actually liked, to go along with said pasta.

Pistachio gelato, one delectable treat.

Somehow coffee just tastes better in Italy.
