Penne al Salmone Affumicato (Smoked Salmon Pasta)

 

One of the things I love about visiting my family in Italy is getting to enjoy all the wonderful seafood that is available since they live right on the Italian Riviera.  A few years back on one of my previous trips to Italy, one of my aunts made this dish for me and it quickly became one of my favorites.  It is so simple to make and tastes amazing! 

Pumpkin Spice Latte Cheesecake

It's hard to believe that I am already half way through my first semester of Pharmacy school!  It's amazing how fast times flies.  It seems like just a few weeks ago I moved to Oregon and it was nice and sunny, but fall is here and the rain is already starting.  Between the cold weather and my need for caffeine, I've had a few pumpkin spice lattes already this month, which inspired me to try making another pumpkin spice latte cheesecake after my not so perfect attempt last year (lets just say that when making a cheesecake, you need to make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature).  I found this yummy recipe last year on one of my favorite blogs called Sprinkle Bakes.
