Healthy Chicks

Yesterday I went to G’Vanni’s in the North end for a delicious lunch date with The Boy. We had a Buy With Me, so we went all out. I got the Chicken Saltimbocca with gluten free pasta in homemade marinara sauce, which was absolutely delicious. I had never had that dish before, so thought I’d give it a try. It was the perfect meat to cheese ratio, and the prosciutto practically melted in my mouth. Holy Yum. The Boy ordered a Veal Parmesan Panini, along with a Pepperoni pizza for later. Hey, we had to use all $50, after all! You bet I had a few bites of his meal too…

The Boy & I dining. We totally cleared our plates. (Sorry, not yet ready to plaster his pics all over my blog hehe)

Afterward we went to Mike’s Pastry because let’s be serious: how can you go to the North End without stopping by Mike’s Pastry?

The Boy had never been before so he was dazzled by the overwhelming selection.

Seriously, how pretty are these little gems?

But we decided on one of these…

the classic cannoli…

And I of course got one of these…

’cause what’s a trip to the North End without a cappuccino?  Cappuccinos make me happy…very happy. Oh, and hyper.

So I leave you today with one very important Hump Day lesson…

Don’t think about the fat. Don’t think about the calories. Just do. It’s so worth it.

What are your favorite things to splurge on? Do you enjoy Italian dining as much as I do? Share your experiences pretty please!

XoXo,
