la dolce limone

a food and travel blog for the restless foodie

About

hello! i’m jessica

Marketer, Foodie, & travel Blogger

I’m a marketing maven by day, and a restless foodie and travel blogger by night.

I’ve never met a pasta I didn’t like. I’m happiest when eating or cooking with the people I love. I enjoy sipping on fine Italian wine and sifting through my favorite cookbooks. When I’m not crossing new cities off my travel list, my favorite pastime is cooking up tasty recipes while my beagle Amos laps up all the crumbs that fall on the floor.

I can’t wait to take you on my personal foodie and travel journey. Here you’ll find original recipes and many adaptions of my favorites, along with the latest restaurants and coffee joints I’m musing over. You’ll also find travel tips and inspiration as I reflect on past trips and take you behind the scenes of my upcoming adventures.

Let’s go!

get to know me

Here are a few of my favorite things…

  1. My little beagle boy Amos. He has many nicknames, including Crumb Numb (because he leaves no crumb left behind), Num Num, Numpty Num, Lil boi, and bud.
  2. Italy. Of all my favorite travel destinations, this one takes the cake. It’s where I studied abroad in college and it’s one of the most beautiful countries on earth. Expect lots of Italian recipes and travel roundups on this blog!
  3. I love to dance! If there’s music playing, I’m either dancing or choreographing something in my head. I began dance classes at the age of 3 and taught myself how to “moonwalk” after watching a MJ music video when I was 8 years old.
  4. Coffee! I used to make the terrible hotel room coffee when I was little. My dad would tease me, asking if I accidentally put a dash of coffee in my creamer. 😉 Today, I grind my own beans, I love checking out new coffee shops, and collect interesting mugs on my world travels.

The unofficial dessert of al fresco dinner parties The unofficial dessert of al fresco dinner parties.🍋

Creamy, bright, and citrusy, these classic British lemon possets are the kind of dessert that feels right at home on a table filled with hydrangeas, candlelight, and good company.

Served in fresh lemon shells, these were the perfect ending to a slow summer evening outdoors.

Swipe to the end for the recipe, and save it for your next dinner party. Double the recipe if you're serving a crowd! ✨

happy earth day✨🌊 sometimes I can't believe place happy earth day✨🌊

sometimes I can't believe places like this actually exist on our planet. this was one of the most stunningly peaceful sunsets I've ever experienced - a nearly empty beach on one of Greece's lesser known islands.

🐚 10/10 recommend saving this reel for your future Greek island trip planning.

Easter brunch, but make it effortless.🌷🐣🐰 This ra Easter brunch, but make it effortless.🌷🐣🐰

This raspberry cream cheese french toast bake is the kind of dish that brings everyone to the table a little slower, a little softer, and a whole lot happier. 💛

Fluffy challah soaked overnight, pockets of sweet cream cheese, and bursts of juicy raspberries baked into golden perfection… finished with a dusting of powdered sugar and plenty of maple syrup. It’s cozy, a little indulgent, and completely worth it.

Save this reel for your upcoming brunch.🤍
