Welcome to my blog. This is a place where I’ll write a little bit about my world. I love learning and talking about food and health. I’ll use this blog as an outlet for that. I hope that you’ll find it interesting enough to read! Feel free to e-mail me at aboutlia@gmail.com.
Some facts about me:
I grew up in Albany, New York.
I am 21-years-old and a senior at New York University. In May, I’ll be graduating with a B.A. in Politics with a minor in Social & Public Policy and a certificate in Political Economy.
I started this blog as a way to keep my health on track and document fun recipes and events. I have been reading food/healthy living blogs for months now and finally got inspired to just make one of my own. I love food and love to talk about food even more. Just like a lot of the other food bloggers out there, I try to balance my love for food with being fit and healthy.
After graduation this spring, one of my goals is to “learn” to run. I am not at all an athlete and almost never work out besides a little yoga. I plan to document my journey on the blog!
Both of my parents are Italian and my favorite food in the world is Italian food.
I studied abroad in Florence, Italy in fall 2008 and it was the best time of my life.
I love to cook and experiment with recipes but I hate baking and using measurements. All the recipes you see on the blog will use estimates of ingredients.
I am writing a senior thesis on the politics of recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) labeling and regulation.
I have been in a long-distance relationship with my boyfriend, Kevin, who lives in Boston, for almost three years now. I will be making the move there after graduation!
I work part-time as a legal assistant for a solo practitioner attorney (I was pre-law up until this fall before ultimately deciding it wasn’t for me).
My favorite thing to do is try new restaurants. I look forward to posting lots of restaurant reviews on the blog.
When I have down time, or am procrastinating, I am almost always watching television! I am a TV addict. I am constantly watching the Food Network (I love Giada and The Barefoot Contessa). My other favorite shows right now: Law & Order SVU, The Office, How I Met Your Mother, any trashy reality TV like Jersey Shore, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, etc.
I am obsessed with J. Crew and Anthropologie in a bad way.
