Weekend Favorites: Top 3 Restaurant Edition
The husband and I are visiting friends this weekend. Going out of town means lots of eating out at new places. Unfortunately this time it doesn’t mean lots of fabulous food.

From grilled antipasto to polenta sticks to mouth-watery pizza…
Italian tapas in a beautiful city with great company. What more could a girl ask for? {Besides leftovers!}
