Recently, I was invited by the Bertolli team to be part of their new 'Today' Cooking School series on MSNBC.

In this new cooking series, we met the Bertolli team, where we were given an opportunity to shoot this cooking segment along with other influential bloggers such as Jen Luby from Second City Soiree and Paula Jones from Bellalimento. There is nothing better than being able to be yourself and be part of a great project. Not only was I lucky enough to participate, but my sister, Maria was also a master in the kitchen in this segment.

The soups really were delicious and as an Italian American, who grew up with my mom's cooking, the soup was pretty authentic. So, I hope you love the series, watch it once or a million times, I love it! I'm so excited! Thank you to the Bertolli Team!

The Economic Crisis Trickles Down to Italy.

Its no surprise with the intense economic crisis hitting home here in the United States, the European Markets are now getting a taste of the crisis. Just today, in Italy, Premier Silvio Berlusconi has called an emergency meeting to discuss pro-active measures to help protect the Italian markets. I'm not a financial guru, so its best if you refer to today's USA Today article on this topic. We are not alone.
