“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.”– Ralph Waldo EmersonJanuary 2025Happy New Year!!!
|
In case anyone was wondering what my New Year’s Resolution will be, the quote above sums it up perfectly. Each year I normally write a list of things that I would like to accomplish and at the end of the year I review it. Sometimes I keep my goals, othertimes they get postponed. What I get the most pleasure out of is journaling about the pleasant surprises that life throws our way, because it makes me realize that in my haste to make certain things happen, sometimes there are even better ones in store. I wonder what making the decision to believe that each day will be the best day in life can lead to… Stay tuned and be sure to follow my blog and social media channels this month for my latest recipes and tips. Wishing you all the happiest of holidays and all the best in the year to come!January Promotions on amyriolo.com

Award-willing single estate olive oil from my ancestral homeland of Calabria, Italy. Made exclusively from Carolea olives, this oil has an extremely low (.2%) acidity rate, and a high level (584) of strong, health-boosting anti-oxidants called polyphenols. |
|
|
|
|
|
Maccheroni pugliesi is made from 100% Senatore Cappelli grains which contain trace elements such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, and zinc as well as B vitamins and E that are not found in industrially manufactured pasta. |

This product is a winner of the 2019 SOFI Gold award for best pasta sauce, and I consider it to be the perfect pantry staple. At the heart of this DOP Sun-dried Red Pesto are five ingredients: peeled sun-dried tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil from Anfosso, fresh Ligurian DOP basil, Grana Padano cheese, and pine nuts. |
|
|
|
|
|
This unique balsamic condiment from the centuries old Acetaia Castelli is made from 65% concentrated white grape must and 35% of white wine vinegar. It’s a young product quickly aged in virgin barrels to create the perfect balance of golden color and naturally sweet taste. It has a low acidity of only 5% which lends a slightly sweet flavor to any dish. |

Due to popular demand, Indigo Gazelle Tours’ Alex Safos and I will be offering Private Cuisine and Culture Tours to Morocco and Greece in 2025. Unlike other tours organized around a certain date with different people, these tours are PRIVATE, meaning that we organize tours for groups of 6-10 travelers; family members, co-workers, travel buddies, and friends who are interested in creating unique experiences in the places that we love so much. Most often our groups are made up of those celebrating a special milestone, life event, birthday, or anniversary. Our one-of-a-kind experiences also make the perfect holiday gift to share with those you love most! |
