Finally getting a fun lil recap up about my recent trip to Japan!
I’ve said this so many times over the past few weeks, but man. Japan is dreamy.

A Foraged Wild Mushroom Dinner at Della Terra
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is truly a great food city. Long gone are the days where we were only known for putting french fries on everything––from sandwiches to salads to pizzas and beyond.
Nowadays, we have so many incredible restaurants doing creative, inventive, mind-blowing things with foods. And one of my all-time favorite restaurants––Della Terra just north of Pittsburgh in a small town called Zelienople (zee-lee-in-oh-pole)––did one of those mind-blowing things this past weekend!
Read MoreEating My Way Through Torino (Vegetarian Travel)
My last Italy recap post! And this one is all about the lovely, little northern Italian city, Torino.
You may be familiar with Torino for some of the same reasons I was: it hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics, and there’s some sort of Shroud of Turin there. It’s also known for its automotive history, as Torino is the headquarters for FIAT, Lancia, and Alfa Romeo.
Being in Torino was the true reason I was in Italy, as I had to be there at a conference for work. So even though my days in Torino were filled with many work-related things, I still saw a good bit of the city and ate…a lot of really great pizza.
Read MoreA Day Trip to Modena & Maranello
I hope you like red!
I’m still pinching myself over the fact that I actually got to visit Maranello.
I don’t talk about this a lot, but I love Formula One (F1). I went to a few races when I was in high school, and my team has always been (and will always be) Ferrari.
Maranello is a small town in northern Italy and the home for Ferrari and the Scuderia Ferrari team. And you’re aware of that fact from the moment you get there. There are prancing horses, bright red road cars, and nods to the manufacturer everywhere. It’s kinda like Disney Land but for F1 fans.
Read MoreEating My Way Through Milano (Vegan + Vegetarian Travel)
It has been a while since we’ve done a good ol’ travel post here on the blog.
Like most folks, I haven’t been doing a ton of travel these past few years (for obvious reasons). But I’m starting to visit new-to-me places again, and I feel completely and totally energized and inspired.
I recently spent a little over a week in Milano, Modena & Maranello, and Torino in northern Italy, and honestly…I think it was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on.
Read MoreEating Our Way Through London (Vegetarian + Vegan in Europe Part 3)
Alrighty! Last stop on our grand European adventure: London!
{Here are the Part 1 and Part 2 recaps of our trip if you’re interested!}
It was actually my second time in London. I went in college (I think I was there for about three days), and we did all the touristy things.
I was especially excited to go to London again because I now have a better appreciation for food. And a better understanding of food! The first time I was in London, pretty sure I just had mac & cheese and sandwiches. Lame-o.
London is so much more than that, so I was beyond thrilled to finish our time in Europe in this exciting and easy-to-navigate city!
As always, here are some jumping points JIC you’re only interested in the eats (I hear ya):
Let’s do London, frens!
Read MoreEating Our Way Through Newcastle (Vegetarian + Vegan in Europe Part 2)
Woo hoo! It’s time for our Part 2 of our European food-a-palooza!
(If you missed Part 1–all about Paris!–check it out here)
And this post might just be my favorite of the three because we’re focusing on Newcastle, England.
Have you heard of it? No? You’re not alone. I was in the same boat!
I was lucky enough to attend a conference in Newcastle (Retain Live, a membership site conference!), so after a little Googlin’, I learned that Newcastle (also known as Newcastle Upon Tyne) is a town 250ish miles north of London. As the name suggests, it’s located on the River Tyne and was a coal and shipping town back in the day.
I wasn’t sure what to expect traveling off the beaten path and going to a less touristy city in England, but man. I have so much to tell you about my experiences there!
Read MoreEating Our Way Through Paris (Vegetarian + Vegan in Europe Part 1)
What a whirlwind these past couple of weeks have been! Mostly because I was in Europe last month!
Man. I haven’t been to Europe since my sophomore year of college. Which was like…more years ago than I care to admit.
But so much has changed since then! And I know that those changes served me well during my most recent trip to Europe.
