Eating My Way Through Torino (Vegetarian Travel)

by 4 Comments

My last Italy recap post! And this one is all about the lovely, little northern Italian city, Torino.

You may be familiar with Torino for some of the same reasons I was: it hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics, and there’s some sort of Shroud of Turin there. It’s also known for its automotive history, as Torino is the headquarters for FIAT, Lancia, and Alfa Romeo.

Being in Torino was the true reason I was in Italy, as I had to be there at a conference for work. So even though my days in Torino were filled with many work-related things, I still saw a good bit of the city and ate…a lot of really great pizza.

A Day Trip to Modena & Maranello

by 5 Comments

I hope you like red!

I’m still pinching myself over the fact that I actually got to visit Maranello.

I don’t talk about this a lot, but I love Formula One (F1). I went to a few races when I was in high school, and my team has always been (and will always be) Ferrari.

Maranello is a small town in northern Italy and the home for Ferrari and the Scuderia Ferrari team. And you’re aware of that fact from the moment you get there. There are prancing horses, bright red road cars, and nods to the manufacturer everywhere. It’s kinda like Disney Land but for F1 fans.

Eating My Way Through Milano (Vegan + Vegetarian Travel)

by 1 Comment

It has been a while since we’ve done a good ol’ travel post here on the blog.

Like most folks, I haven’t been doing a ton of travel these past few years (for obvious reasons). But I’m starting to visit new-to-me places again, and I feel completely and totally energized and inspired.

I recently spent a little over a week in Milano, Modena & Maranello, and Torino in northern Italy, and honestly…I think it was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on.

How to Brew Better Coffee at Home (If It’s Tasting Sour or Bitter)

by 2 Comments

A few years ago, I published this post detailing how I “got into coffee” (aka started to understand the subtleties of coffee) as a complete beginner.

From the moment I started drinking coffee, I thought it needed to be loaded with sugar or milk or just downright bitter, and that simply isn’t the case.

Coffee can be fruity, juicy, chocolatey, rich, creamy, and most importantly balanced! And when you have a cup of coffee like that? Wow. Nothing better.

For being a morning (and afternoon… and maybe even evening) staple, coffee is a very nuanced drink. There are a lot of elements that impact the flavor you extract from the beans themselves, and that’s what we’re chatting about today!

My Favorite Books of the Year

by Leave a Comment

Let’s talk about one of my favorite things: books!

This is one of my favorite posts to publish every year because it gives me a good excuse to go back and remember all of my favorite reads from the year.

I read 55 books in 2022. I hit my goal (35) and managed to read just over “one book per week of the year,” which is kinda fun!

Reading gave me a lot this year. It quieted my brain when it needed to calm down, it brought me to different cities and countries filled with characters from different backgrounds, and it helped me facilitate some of my favorite moments of the past year –– aka me sitting on the couch with a book and my cat (Maya!) curled up beside me.

The list you see below are the best of the best (in my opinion) from the gaggle of books I finished this year!
