Happy Birthday Ciao Chow Bambina!
One year of recipes… One year of writing…
One year of heartfelt stories told from the comforts of our kitchen table.
What a difference a year makes…
Ciao Chow Bambina has been there to watch our kids blossom. From high school to college, from east coast to west… Lauren, Chelsea and Nicholas inspire, motivate, and surprise us every day.
Ciao Chow Bambina has been there to shine a light on our empty nest…on our friendship that grows deeper, in our home that gives new meaning to the word quiet.
Ciao Chow Bambina has been there to share stories of old friends and new; and to resurrect sweet memories of days gone by.
I’d like to make a toast (!) with the drink that started it all…
There’s a quote I shared with a good friend, recently, that sums up my experience with Ciao Chow…
“When is the last time you did something you’ve never done before?”
Ciao Chow Bambina has opened the door to new learning and wonderful experiences that I could not have imagined…and I’m excited to say that it’s just the beginning…
Thank you for being part of my adventure.
Saluté!
