Only 2 more days until Thanksgiving! I had all intentions to go to a yoga class tonight but now that I am sitting here blogging, watching E News, I might want to stay in.
Tonight I wanted to whip up something quick and healthy. If you didn't notice, I love Italian food. I was lucky enough to get to study abroad in Italy for six weeks. Since I wasn't able to take any nutrition classes while there, I studied Italian. It is such a beautiful language but, unfortunately, I have forgotten most of what I have learned. I lived in Torino. On the weekends, we would travel to places such as Rome and Venice. I had the best time of my life. Here are a few pics of my trip…

Beautiful views of Tuscany
Siena
I made so many great friends who I still keep in touch with. I hope to post more pics of my trip to share with you, especially my eats. I didn't have a great camera on the trip so a lot of my pictures were given to me from my friends and are not on my computer. Tonight's dinner was a little bit of Italy. It was Molto Bene!!
I had the idea for this recipe from Cooking Light. The dish included grilled veggies (any you have in the fridge) tossed with pasta and goat cheese. I lightly covered mushrooms, red peppers, and grape tomotoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. I did it the fancy way of course, on the George Foreman grill. Can you tell it is just me living by myself yet.
