A Classic Recipe to Start the Year Right



January always feels like comfort food season in our home, and nothing says comfort quite like Melanzane alla Parmigiana. This layered eggplant dish is rich, satisfying, and brimming with Italian flavor.

Maria swears it tastes better the next day (if there’s any left!), and it’s always a crowd-pleaser at family gatherings. If you’d like to try making it, we’ve got an easy-to-follow recipe to help you out: 👉 Get the Recipe for Melanzane alla Parmigiana

Uncover the Secrets of Venice



We recently visited Venice again, and it’s always magical, even for someone like me who’s been there countless times. William loved spotting hidden lions carved into the city’s walls, and Maria spent hours exploring the quieter corners away from the crowds.

What’s Your Favorite Gelato Flavor?



Every gelato shop has its own personality, but the flavors say a lot about Italian culture too! Did you know pistachio and hazelnut (nocciola) are two of the most popular flavors in Italy? My personal favorite is stracciatella, and William always opts for a double scoop of fragola (strawberry).
