Ready steady go!

I have been thinking to start my own blog since decades, but since I have to many hobbies and passions I wasn't sure what my blog was going to be about . Well, I finally decided it will be a food blog.  I am VERY addicted to food ( I love cooking and eating, but no, I am not fat :)). I realized the thing I enjoy the most and I can do better is spend time in the kitchen and create! My mom always involved me while she was cooking. She tought me how to cook savory plates with the most HEALTHY ingredients and the LOWEST calories possible. I learned from her to cook from scratch,  to chose the best and  most natural ingredients.

I remember when I was younger somethimes I was annoyed by this; because trust me, we NEVER bought industrial cakes, ready to go food or any kind of processed food. I remember somethimes wanting to buy at the grocery stores some chocalate cakes, or cookies, and when I asked her if we could get them my mom always replied: " Sure, we can have a chocolate cake. We can bake one together today!" ---->  which meant we were not going to buy a ready one, of course. I soon realized how lucky I was to have a mom that tough me how to chose the right things to eat and how to cook from scratch whatever thing I wanted that was in the grocery store shelves.

You hear always more ofter how industrial foods are packed with unhealthy and bad ingredients. I hear more sotries of people affected by deseases! These can vary from obesity to cancers and I am always more convinced that there is ALWAYS a prevention. You are what you eat.

There are many many things you cannot prevent, many deseases you cannot do anything about, so let's try to do what we can control from the outside! Let's be the masters of what we eat!
With this, I am not saying that you have to ban everything you like from your diet,NO! You just need to cook the right food the right way! And trust me, I am getting always more expert about the subject !


I have to admit I lately spent a lot of time reading all the properties of fruits and veggies as well as how to avoid trans fat( that are apperently hided in foods you will never think of!) and many more things as when and how to assume carboidrats as rice, or many more things about proteins, meats and fish!


Omg, so, how do I start a food blog? there are too many things I would like to start with. I will begin telling you something more about me and my life.


Surprisingly I am not a mom, or an adult woman, I am just a teenager! As I said I am really good at cooking and I love it.
I know you are surprised, you don't see very often 17
years old girl that starts a food blog.I just graduated from high school and of course the next step is start to study medicine in college. Medicine and nutrition it's always been my passion. I always wanted to become a doctor and finally I have the chance to start classes related to what I love to learn about! (even if, of course, I already took many medicine related classes during high school, and proudly I got the honors award as best student in the school).

You aready know that I am young, but I am going to give you somemore hints. First of all something that fully describes me:  the title of my blog, ITALY and USA. Yes, exactly! I am Italian, I have been living in italy for 16 years, most of my life. I moved to the USA only two years ago. Now I see myself as half american and half Italian. 
I speak Italian a lot better that how I speak english, so please don't judge me if my grammar is terrible. I am still learning the new language!

I have four amazing sisters and fantastic parents, family is everything to me. My family is the reason why I am always more interest in healthy cooking, I really want the best for me and them and I love to suggest them what to eat and cook!

Soooo, summary of this huge introduction about my blog and myself?
