Fill up with a second helping of ... us!

Caviar Contessa here and ready to announce that College Contessas are back in the saddle and ready to ride off and cook (more like ride off and eat--let's not kid ourselves here.)

Though resolutions are not really our thang--and this is just slightly past the post-holiday calorie counting craze of three weeks ago--the gals and I are thoroughly, absolutely, COMPLETELY excited for picking up this new year with a bang and some "exotic" quinoa dishes.

This year we're thinking big, y'all. Stinky (but incredible) cheeses. Field trips to little gourmet shops. Ambitious recipe plans. Party planning tips. Farm dreams. A possible vlog component. Foodie internships at Athens Food Tours this semester. And living vicariously through our very own Cafe Contessa living in Italy this semester (check out her blog--masoninitaly.blogspot.com--she's fabulous, y'all!)

We're going to be doing more than watching our idol the Barefoot and dreaming of the good life--this year, we going to taste it, and we hope that you come back for second helpings too!

We've already been cooking it up this month, too. Be on the lookout for a flourless chocolate torte that will leave you in a delightful and delectable cocoa coma, and a sun-dried tomato and pesto risotto that we sent Miss Cafe Contessa across the pond on--and when those have been devoured, there will always be another course.

Peace, love, blessings, and fancy life dreams,
The Caviar Contessa
