We apparently had Italian food on the brain this past weekend if these pictures are any proof. We made a quick trip to Memphis on Friday and stopped at The Olive Garden on our way home to have a late lunch. And then I fell in love with this.
It’s Olive Garden’s bruschetta. And the recipe must be mine.
On Saturday night we went to the Italian Festival here in our small town. We arrived that evening, so we missed out on the great food, but we did get to check out the amazing booths each participating family sets up and I was most impressed with this one:
And the noodle art was just as cute as could be.
And I? Am so not Italian. But I should have been.
Oh. My. Goodness. I hate that I wasn’t born italian, but lucky me always had a BFF growing up who’s parents/grandparents were actual immigrants… so I got to get a lot of that old world stuff. Ummmm. I’m starving just thinking about it.
*Drool*
How I love Olive Garden. Is it considered authentic?
hey, i added your button to my blog list. where’s mine? “said in a slightly whiny voice to mimic my niece who asked where’s mine when I didn’t hand her a rose on our wedding day” Only Steve’s mom and my mom got a rose:)
hope you are having a good week!

Ah, the aroma!
Priceless.
I totally should have been Italian…..and even though I married into an Italian family, they don’t cook so much anymore….it’s sad!
Yuuuuuuuuummmmmmmm!!!!
I LOVE Italian food! 🙂
When you read what passed for “Italian” that we had Saturday night, you’ll laugh!
We went to the Italian festival last year but missed it this year. In retrospect, missing it was a mistake. 🙂
Yum!
Happy St Patrick’s Day – LOVE italian food 🙂
Well, I am Italian, and that looks like a pretty darn good weekend!
That looks yummy. We are going Friday.
