Spicy homemade falafel in a taco boat with cucumber tomato salad, shredded lettuce, feta, and tzatziki.

A burrito filled with mac and cheese instead of rice, and topped with carnitas, salsa, and sour cream.

Three types of lamb, lots of fresh veggies, and dried chiles, make this a deep rich and hearty chili.

This minestrone is the type of hearty throw-everything-from-the-fridge-in soup that I love this time of year.

It was a unanimous decision amongst my family that a feast we ate in Florence was the highlight of our recent trip to Italy. We sat down at a nice table in the corner of a crowded restaurant and my sister immediately charmed the waiter with her fluency in the language she was able to pick up during her semester there. She told him we were ready to eat and drink whatever they were willing to bring, and I think they took it as a challenge. We were then brought course after course of amazing food, and enough wine for easily double the amount of people. When we got home, we wanted to share the experience of the feast with other relatives and loved ones who weren’t as lucky to be there with us that night. There won’t be recipes here like a normal blog post, I just wanted to share scenes from that beautiful day with you all.
