I’m sure you’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t enjoy a good snack. While Cuties, Snoopy fruit snacks and Pepperidge Farm flavor blasted goldfish are some of my favorites, there is a new snack on the block that’s just as delicious.

VitaTop muffin tops from the Vitalicious brand. With only 100 calories, a variety of flavors (deep chocolate is the best), plus vitamins, minerals and fiber, this is my new go-to snack. Vitalicious also makes VitaBrownies, VitaCakes and VitaSandwiches, all of which I’m dying to try.

Simply keep frozen until ready to eat.

What’s your go-to snack?

Yum. I swear.

This morning I walked a dog whose owners live in a wonderfully modern home with a view of this from their kitchen. Jealous much?

As I stood looking out the window with their goofy dog, I wondered what it would take to get a view like that of my own. I know this particular couple works like crazy, but they’ve managed to build a wonderful home with an even lovelier dog.

Views of my own I can only hope to wake up to someday. It’s funny how water can have such a calming and peaceful effect.

Usually pasta is one of my all-time favorite foods. I can eat it hot, I can eat it cold. I can eat noodles with just butter, noodles with spinach, garlic and shrimp, and spaghetti and meatballs. I could eat at the fanciest Italian restaurant or be happy with Noodles & Company or Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. I really don’t discriminate.

Recently, I turned to the Buitoni brand (thanks to my mom) and I made their spinach cheese tortellini with vodka sauce. Not only was the tortellini done in minutes, but for a store-bought brand they were absolutely delicious. Now I’m dying to try their tomato herb Parmesan sauce, all natural pesto with basil and chicken and prosciutto tortelloni.

Cook.

Mix.

Serve.

I’m preparing to leave for Rome and Florence for a week. I take off this afternoon around 2pm. See you all in a week! Ciao!
