Tastes of Spain & Italy







As my mom always reminds me I am not a "foodie", meaning I am not a big eater, but that all changed when I went to Spain & Italy. I literally ate my way through these wonderful countries. Everything was delicious! I loved all the pizzas,pastas,croissants,apple crumbles,salads,risottos and most of all the GOFRES (aka waffles in spanish)!

Here are a few of my favorite meals! Enjoy!

I am not a big fan of dessert crepes, but I love savory crepes. They are so tasty and filling! This one in particular I got in Spain, called the Milano included tomatoes, mozzarella, salami and arugula! Delish!  
By far the best sangria that I've ever had! The crisp chunks of Granny Smith apples was the cherry on top! So yummy that I will definitely be recreating this drink at home!
                               
Who goes to Rome and eats chinese food? My friend and I had a craving for chinese food while abroad and decided to seek out a place that would satisfy us. This was one of the best chinese food dishes I have ever had the pleasure of eating.                       
The whole reason that I went to Spain was for paella and that is exactly what I got! So much yummy seafood!
                 
Tapas with creamy spinach dip and goat cheese!
                 
Tortellini with meat bolognese. This was my first meal and Florence after hours of travel and it did not disappoint. 
                 
Caesar salads are by far one of my top 3 favorite foods! Surprisingly, it was hard to find them in Spain & Italy, but the one I found was to die for! The flavors were rich, complex and delicate all at the same time. I wish I could have taken this home with me!                     
Nutella and waffles is a wonderful combination that has captivated my heart and I always indulge in while I am abroad.

Hope you enjoy these delicious images! Toodles!
