My Year

So 2011 is coming to a close and I feel like it's been the happiest year of my life to date. I graduated college, got married to my best friend, traveled around Italy, got an awesome job cooking vegetarian food at an incredible food co-op, and started this blog. So many other wonderful things happened this year and I can only look forward to the many more experiences that life will throw at me. I figured that I would post a few of my favorite photos from this year for you to enjoy. Have a happy new year.

 

From flowers and a wedding, to gelato at the Trevi Fountain, this summer was by far my most exciting of my life.

I was inspired by the architecture and colors of Rome....

...and fell in love with the simple way of living and eating.

 

I was left breathless by the beauty in Amalfi...

 

...and found peace in the mountains of Campania.

And my heart will forever hold a place for a dear little town called Calitri.

I know this year will bring many more beautiful things of its own, including lots of wonderful food to share on this site. I am beyond excited. But is it strange that I'm just a bit sad to see 2011 slip away? I guess that is how life goes.
