I have been a long time fan of Pillsbury refrigerated doughs. Why not? They’re the next best thing to freshly baked goodies sans the hard work.

One of the tours that I booked prior to our Italian holiday was a Venetian Food Tour. Knowing how a “foodie” my husband is, I knew he will surely love the idea that we are joining this tour. Not exactly a cheap tour as we paid $120 each.
