Another amazing day in the beautiful Val d'Orcia. Today, we started off at a pasta factory that prides itself on using ancient grains that are grown organically and then turned into pasta using nothing more than the ground grains and water.

Heading to the Farmers Market~~Time to make the Weekly Menu
Happy Sunday, Everyone. We got home last night, and I immediately fell into bed and started snoring.
That's not entirely true....I did have to give some loving to my babies first.
Leftover Kabob Fajitas #SundayFunday
This delicious meal starts with leftover kabobs. You can use chicken, beef, or a combination of both. Slice up the leftover meat and vegetables, place in a crockpot with a package of fajita seasoning and some water, and enjoy your day. When you are ready to eat, heat up some tortillas, and dinner is served.
Italy-Day 11, Dairy Farm and Pienza
We were up bright and early to head to Pienza. It was a beautiful morning for a drive through Val d'Orcia valley. The fog hung like a cloud over the valley, below the mountains.

Italy Day 10 - Spoleto and Truffle Hunting
Day 10 started off quietly. We got to sleep in a bit. After a leisurely breakfast, we walked into town, passing the Roman Theater that still hosts performances to this day.

Chunky Monkey Muffins #MuffinMonday
Named after a specialty drink from a nearby restaurant, these delicious muffins are chock-full of banana, chocolate, and coconut. As an added bonus, I also used up some of the zucchini that is taking up space on my counter.
It's Muffin Monday.......

Beer and Garlic Marinated Chicken Breasts #SundayFunday
It is still grilling season here in Michigan, but not to worry if it's not available where you are, because this delicious chicken can also be made in the oven.
