A Focaccia Recipe that’s worth the carbs

Panicale, Umbria

One Italian staple which is an easy recipe, fun to make on your own or with kids, and oh so delicious is focaccia. Right out of college I exchanged eating cafeteria food and take-out to living in one of the most delicious countries on the planet.

A crisp & refreshing cocktail for autumn celebrations

Sometimes it's best to keep things simple, especially when we're hosting and there are a million other things demanding our attention. This crisp and refreshing Autumn Apple Cider Mule is the easy cocktail we'll be mixing up throughout the fall season as it's equally suitable for Halloween night and Thanksgiving celebrations. You could even multiply the ingredients and mix up a batch ahead of time. If so, just follow the instructions through step 3 and add the ginger beer and garnishes before serving. Cheers! AUTUMN APPLE CIDER MULE Makes 2 servings[...]

If you’ve ever traveled to Italy or eaten at a really amazing Italian restaurant here in the States, you may wonder “How can a simple plate of pasta with tomato sauce taste so amazing?” There’s a very easy answer - the quality of the ingredients.
