I absolutely love France. I definitely know I will be living in château in the south of France sometime in my life.  IT WILL HAPPEN!

c'est tres délicieux!

Before we go onto our next destination of the week, I just wanted to share some lasting impressions of France, and by lasting impressions I mean food recipes! Something I have always wanted to try is crêpes. I've never had the pleasure of tasting one, even though I've had other French delicacies. 

I found an easy crêpes recipe that is super fast and yummy, because as I have said I am culinarily challenged!!! I topped my crêpes with powered sugar and fruit, but you can add just about anything to crêpes, for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert!

Stayed tuned for tomorrow when we reveal the next stop on our travel journey!

This past week, I have had an amazing time sharing some of my favorite things about Italy. From the music to the beautiful vistas, I am absolutely in love with this country.

Before I reveal our next destination of the week, I want to share some more Italian treats to bring into your everyday life. And what better way to do that then by sharing food recipes!!!

One of my FAVORITE Italian desserts is a biscotti. Biscotti, more correctly known as Biscotti di Prato, is a twice baked "cake" from the Italian city of Prato. Because many traditional Italian desserts shy away from using oil and butter, this treat can be stored for long periods of time without going bad. In fact, that was the original thought behind the treat.

Today, I made an authentic biscotti recipe (well, as authentic as possible!) I am what they call "culinarily challenged" and even I found this recipe easy and totally do-able.

I also decided to double up on my posts and do a cute little D.I.Y. project to fit my Italian theme. You can not have a biscotti without dipping it in a nice cappuccino or espresso. So I decided to make my own variation of a tea-bag, and I made home-made Instant Coffee bags to make with my biscotti!

Let me tell you, it was EXTRAORDINARY! I love Italy. I'm totally in love with the language and culture, and it's been great "exploring" the country this week.

Stay tuned for our next Destination of the Week!
