handsonmama Risotto Tartufo from Moreieta near Vicenza, Italia. It is my favorite dish - period. I've tried to recreate it or have it elsewhere and no one comes close. It's risotto with black truffle shavings. Oh so good!

handsonmama I did not take part, but thought it was quite entertaining. FUn to see the guys reactions! I think it was a great idea! Saw one that sparked a good debate. Someone wrote "nude" - did that mean a nude-colored bra or that they simply weren't wearing one? :)

It goes without saying that I am a person who likes to indulge in candy quite often. I doubt I am the only person. Far from it in fact. I like a wide variety of candy. However, much like everyone, I have a favorite. Three...

handsonmama I'm a health nut whose favorite secret indulgence once was Hostess Cupcakes. But now my guilty pleasure is a few squares of Lindt 70% cocoa Intense Dark bar. MMMMMM - just snacking on some now!

handsonmama My 2.5 year old is on the VERY low end of weight for his age and height. We have to give him Pediasure or something similar to what you mention when he's not eating well. It gives him an extra 250 calories. We get the chocolate kind and tell him it's chocolate...

handsonmama In the last 2.5 years since I became a mother I have worked part-time away from home, part-time from home and most recently unemployed. I certainly enjoy being a stay-at-home mom. I would love to be able to continue that, however, we also need the money. My...

handsonmama So difficult to narrow it to just one, but I think I would go with Life of Pi by Yann Martel. So beautifully written that I couldn't stop thinking that it must be real - even though I knew it was not.

handsonmama Depends on whether it's a dry cough, but this might work either way. My favorite natural remedy is taking my kids in the bathroom with me while I take a nice steamy shower. Usually does the trick. Sometimes we have had to resort to a bedside humidifier and a...

handsonmama You're not the only person. My husband loves ice cream even in the dead of winter. I think he's crazy. I prefer warm things when I'm cold, but do love ice cream enough to have it when I'm sitting by the fireplace!

Why is it so common at many fast food restaurants to ask "for here or to go?" but at coffee shops this is not standard yet? I lived in Italy for three years and there is no such thing as a "to go cup" or a "doggie bag." This is...

handsonmama Yeah, to me a cappuccino is not worth the money if it's not in ceramic. My favorite thing about Italy was the local customs and the "slow food" mentality. It certainly speaks to the strong customs of Italy that the capitalistic chains haven't taken over yet...

handsonmama My mom was 25 and I was her first. I love that she was able to be a very active parent. I had my first at 29 and hope that I can do the same for my children!
