To celebrate our SmartMom’s Tour of Tuscany, we are sharing our some of our favorite recipes from Real Life SmartMom Erica Eckman of food blog Everything Erica! As a mother, Erica understands that a home-cooked meal isn’t always feasible with little ones running around, but it feels so good when accomplished. Her recipes are easy to make, look like a professional chef prepared them, and please everyone in the family. Enjoy!
Here are some of her easy, family friendly Italian recipes:
