Crostata di Frutta (Fruit Tart)


It is hard to believe that one year ago today I started La Mia Dolce Vita in Italia while packing my suitcase to go to Italy!  The time has flown by so fast thanks in part to my busy pharmacy school schedule, but not a day goes by that I don't think about what I am going to cook/ bake next!  During this past year many delicious things have been created in my kitchen and I am so happy that I have had the chance to share my recipes with all of you.  I look forward to sharing many more recipes with you, starting with this beautiful Crostata di Frutta.

Asparagus and Pancetta Risotto

Summer is here and I finally have a short break from school!  Now that I'm back in California and have some free time on my hands I look forward to spending more time in the kitchen.  Since I missed the annual Stockton Asparagus Festival I needed to get my fix of asparagus which is why I decided to make this asparagus risotto.  I tried making this last year and perfected it this year by cooking the asparagus separately and adding it in at the end as opposed to cooking it with the risotto.  Even if you don't like asparagus this risotto by itself with the pancetta is super delicious!

Beer Battered Fish Tacos

There is nothing I love more than the end of the school year (I'm joking of course).  These last couple of weeks have been filled with meetings, making and giving presentations, studying for exams, sitting through trainings to receive my Basic Life Support and Immunization certifications, and not much time for sleep.  Needless to say I am counting down the hours until next week when I will officially be done with my first year of pharmacy school!

With all of the school work I have been doing, I have been perfecting my procrastinating skills.  Since Cinco de Mayo is coming up this weekend, I though I would take a break from studying and share my yummy fish taco recipe with you.
