  • I never saw baby peacocks in my life...up until today 😍😍 They were born beginning of June and they are super human friendly. They stroll around in the grass during the day and they sleep protected in the coop at night as the local fox is hunting in the dark. You can totally see that the back feathers are starting to grow 😍 #italianholiday #farmlife #babypeacock
  • Dinner last night: sweet peas and leek soup + zucchini and fresh herbs frittata + tomatoes. Everything fresh from the garden, eggs from the farmer. #organicfood #kidsfood #toddlerfood #healthyfood #eatyourgreens #eatyourveggies
  • How to transform plain yogurt in a fancy snack? Place some fresh cut fruit in a bowl (peaches apricots and banana for us). Drizzle a teaspoon of local honey or maple syrup on top. Mix and store in the fridge for one hour or so. The fruit will release its juices and get tender. Simply top a nice cup of plain yogurt with the fruit mix and serve. If you want to add more nutrients you can top also with some granola or shaved almonds or chia seeds or coconut flakes. My kids do not like many toppings so I kept it simple 😉 #healthysnack #kidsfood #toddlerfood #healthyfood #organicfood #summersnack #merenda
  • There is something definitely magic in reindeers. I’m not surprised Santa picked them as assistants 😉 Today I learned that they lose their horns every year, and they slowly grow back, every year longer with age. #dontloosethemagic #reindeers #italianholiday #magicmoments
  • Wild Thyme. I’ve rarely seen it. Tender leaves and more intense flavor and scent than the nursery one 😍 #newfoodfinds #freshherbs #thyme #organicfood
  • Fresh pasta. Few basic fresh ingredients: flour, eggs, water, salt. #organicfood #italianrecipes #pasta #freshpasta
  • Full tantrum in St.Marco’s square with bleeding nose due to excessive finger nasal exploration 😆🤦🏼‍♀️ Let’s be real: traveling with kids can be intense. Beautiful but requires definitely planning, strategy and tons of patience. Venice is one of the most beautiful cities in the entire world, so many fascinating things for the kids but after 5 hours of walking (with breaks of course 😉) a tantrum is kind of acceptable if not expected 😬 My suggestions? - plan ahead. For today I found a lovey mom blog post “1 day in Venice with kids, not touristic walking tour” and I loved it. We avoided the crowds with lots of fun. - tons of breaks. Even 2 minutes sitting in the shade and looking at the gondolas can make the difference - find something that appeals to the kids too. We stopped in a local playground for 10”, the kids were so thrilled and we relaxed too - water water water. It’s even more important than food. An insulated water bottle or in my case potable water fountains. I let the kids play with water (there is no drought here!!) and get soaked (90F today) - light snacks and meals. Today I had banana and apricots with me. Sometimes tantrums are simply a sign of hunger. If you are visiting a city finding a nice place where to eat requires a bit of time and a quick light snack for the kids gives you more time to look 🤗 - keep calm and be patient 😜 Remind yourself that you are doing it to create memories and even if the kids are very young, I think you will still create flavors of memories, positive feelings. Btw, the tantrum lasted 3 minutes and a chocolate ice cream solved everything and gave me back the big smile of the last pic. What are your traveling with kids strategies??

  • Italian Street Food: rice arancini filled with Bolognese sauce + sweet peas + mozzarella. Freshly made from scratch daily 😍😍 #streetfood #italianrecipe #arancini #italianfood
  • Cabbage and Carrot Salad. While we are strolling around Italy I love trying new dishes and get inspired for new recipes. Last night my auntie prepared this lovely cabbage and carrot salad. I had three portions, the kids tasted it, too much Dijon mustard for them (aka too spicy). I’m sharing with you as I think that with few changes in the dressing this would be an awesome way to introduce kids to salads 😉 Why I think it’s kids friendly: - the background flavor of the salad is sweet - the veggies are finely grated so they are crunchy and soft at the same time What’s inside? Purple and white cabbage + carrots + raisins + shaved almonds. I was also considering adding few tablespoons of chickpeas to add proteins and make it a complete meal. How to prepare: Finely grate the veggies Soak the raisins in warm water for 20” Prepare the dressing: 3 Tbsp vegan mayo + 1 tsp Dijon mustard (I would start with 1/2 tsp, taste it and add more up until 1 tsp) + pinch of salt. Combine all the ingredients and add the shaved almonds (2 Tbsp) You can even prepare the salad the day before, it’s even better!! #salads #kidsfood #saladforkids #toddlerfood #organicfood #eatyourgreens #eatyourveggies
  • There is something fascinating about snails, we spent a good 30min looking at them gliding up leaves...and touching them just to see them squeezing inside the shell and than shyly stretching out. No need of toys here 😆😆 #momslife #lifewithkids #snails #snailshell
  • One of my favorite sandwich place in Milano 😍 And they have a kids menu’ too, Italian style 🙌🏼🙌🏼 For mom: prosciutto di Parma with Brie, arugula, tomatoes and a drizzle of truffle olive oil on a Multigrain freshly baked bread. For the kids: Organic Praga prosciutto with baked potatoes and fresh fruit salad. #kidsfood #italianfood #panini #healthylunch #enjoyinghometown #healthyfood
  • I like to “reinvent” leftovers using them as an ingredient for another recipe. You don’t waste and at the same time you are eating something different from the previous meal 😜 Last night I overestimated the broccoli quantity and I found myself with a big bowl full of steamed broccoli dressed with olive oil/salt/garlic today for lunch. What to do? I used them for a tagliatelle pasta simply adding some fresh tomatoes. I also grated some pecorino Romano cheese on top for a nice kick of flavor. The tagliatelle pasta was fresh; being in italy it is easy to find them at the grocery store. Look at the color!! You can totally see that they used eggs to make them 😉 Ingredients: 500gr egg tagliatelle 2 cups steamed broccoli 1 handful sweet tomatoes 3 cloves garlic Extra virgin olive oil 4 Tbsp grated pecorino cheese Add the olive oil and garlic in a pan. Heat 30 sec and add the steamed broccoli chopped in bite size pieces. Chop the tomatoes too and add them to the pan. Cook for 4 min. Cook the pasta (it should take less than 4 min if it’s fresh) and reserve 1/2 cup of the boiling water. Drain the pasta. Combine the tagliatelle with the broccoli sauce, add the pasta boiling water to thin it and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix well and serve with an handful of grated pecorino cheese on top! Enjoy!!! #tagliatelle #pasta #kidsfood #toddlerfood #leftovers #eatyourgreens #eatyourveggies
