Even though my toes are frozen inside of my socks as I sit here, just saying the word...Tuscany...makes me feel all warm and toasty inside. The landscape, the sun, attitude, the food. Sigh. It's been my "main destination" for as many years as I can remember. I want to stroll through the vineyards, plucking fat, sweet grapes from the vine. I want to press the nectar from fresh olives. I want to tear off a hunk of a Tuscan boule and eat it with some locally made cheese and salami. And I definitely want to find myself a pig with the snout of a truffle detective!

Tuscany...to me...is all of this and so much more. Giant sunflowers, bowing their heavy heads. Rice and gelato and beets and mushrooms and chickens and lemons and fragrant herbs and a colorful veggies galore! So what do you say? Wanna cook up a Tuscan inspired meal and set a gorgeous Tuscan-scaped table amidst the vineyards? I'll be the one with a bottle of vino in one hand and a bottle of olive oil in the other...drunk on sunshine and happiness.

I dream of a trip to Tuscany also. Maybe one day, when the kids are older. Until then I'll have to visit it in my kitchen.
Yes please! Me too! I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go!
I'm in! Let's all meet up. ;-)
Heather, your post makes me want to go there even more than I did before.
Made a version of Tessa's Scaloppine alla Pizzaiola...Chicken alla Pizzaiola. It was delicious as was her Simple Tomato Sauce. Can't wait to make it again. And to see what other dishes are cooked this week!
First time submission! Can't wait to read others' selections!
My Fusilli con Cavolfiore is up! Easy and delicious.
Just posted my Pane co' Santi...Saint's Bread!
Post is up.
I second the idea of an IHCC excursion to Tuscany. ;)
Tessa's risotto with artichokes and sausage was one of my favorites yet. Really delicious.
Whew! Just squeaked in under the wire - I've linked up Cappuccino Fredo meets Coffee Granita.
Ciao xo
Sneaking in under the wire with Tuscan Zuppa di Ceci (Chickpea Soup). This one was really good--one of my favorite Tessa soups so far. ;-)
