The Elusive Blogger Returns...

I can't tell you how many times that I've sat down at the computer, started a post, and gotten distracted...first by our non-stop life in Italy, then by relocating to the States, and now by our sweet new baby girl, Charlotte, who graced us with her presence 5 weeks early (a mere 2 weeks after moving into our new home in Atlanta).  There is busy, and then there is BUSY.

That said, this mama hasn't stopped cooking.  Okay, I took a week off when my amazing Mom came down to help us with the baby, but once week 2 of our tiny tot's life hit, I was back in cooking action.  Has it been all gourmet meals?  No way.  But it has been a lot of simple soups, easy crock pot dinners, and yes, Italian food...because frankly, a girl can't leave a country like that and abandon those amazing pastas, sauces and meats.

Starting next week, I'll be sharing some of the amazing recipes that I learned during our amazing year in Italy, as well as some recipes that I've come up with that suit those of you like me that are maybe a little sleep deprived, but don't want to sacrifice the quality of their meals!
