Nina grew up speaking and eating Italian in the Chicagoland area. She moved to San Francisco for two years and, knowing she was always meant to be a writer, finally decided to share some of that writing with the world through blogging. There you will find her chronicling her adventures and misadventures (and isn't there such loveliness in mistakes and learning and growing?).

I have found, living most of my life in the Chicagoland area and especially because I was spoiled for the last two… Continue reading Turkey Chili.
