Oh' The Joys Of Christmas...

Christmas Magic

I thought I would share some random photos from the Christmas holiday. We spent the day of Christmas Eve in Caltigrone, Italy. We had a nice stroll through the town and did a little last minute shopping in the pottery stores.

Very neat!

So pretty!

Goodies in the stockings.



Lana enjoyed herself unwrapping the gifts!

Yes, I made those… Rosemary stems with mozzarella cheese and sundried tomatoes with Italian herbs and seasonings.

Fashion Friday-'Tis The Season For....

UGG!

The chill of autumn and winter brings the need for warm and coziness provided by UGG! I’ve had this handbag for quite a few years and I still love it! Like most of their products, it’s made out of grade-A sheepskin which is dense and soft and the inside is lined with an ever so soft fleece. I actually love all that UGG has to offer…their boots, handbags, slippers, and gloves!! ♫♪ Tis the season to be jolly, ♪♫ Fa la la la la ♪♪,♫ la la la la.♫♪

Travel Tuesday- Foods Galore

Our Favorite Foods of Germany

I sparked this idea after I created our Thanksgiving menu and have since been preparing our Christmas menu. The holidays are such a creative way to explore new foods as well as prepare favorites such as, pecan pie, turkey, and stuffing that are always a staple for the holidays. I’ve been meaning to share this post for quite some time, but instead I have been enjoying my break from college and hanging around the house…

You may or may not share these same food ethos. But, I thought I would provide you with a general idea of some of our experiences that our taste buds have thoroughly enjoyed! I plan on posting other foods prepared from various regions of Europe we have visited and tasted as well.

Bon Appetite!

A true Chocolate German Cake.

Fish swathed in a crispy Lowenbrau Bier batter.

An overflowing plate of crackling roast pork belly, char-grilled kassler, chicken schnitzel and sausages (Yes, that is egg on top).

This twelve ounce well marbled rib-eye steak was seasoned with crushed peppercorns and seared to perfection.

Sauerkraut.

Salzstangen (hot soft German pretzel).

Oh, the choices!!

THE BEST chocolate croissant EVER!
