It’s officially three weeks until Johann and I welcome our baby boy into this world. I often get asked the question, “are you ready?” I’m not sure if you can ever be ready for any life change because there is so much unknown – but we are incredibly excited to finally meet this energetic little guy that has been dancing in belly.

When we were traveling through Tuscany, Italy, we had the opportunity to get a tour of the region from an Italian friend ours who knew the area like the back of his hand. Not only did we get to see some beautiful places, like these amazing hot springs, but Rafaele also showed us how to make some simple Italian dishes that tasted better than anything we’ve ever had in a restaurant.
On one of the nights, he served us sliced fresh apricots with this creamy cheese and a basil leaf. The most simple, yet delicious little bite! I knew I had to recreate it once I got home.
