Golden hour in Metz ✨💛

 

Beautiful Day in Metz, France.

Metz, France.

 

We wanted to go somewhere close by for our 

Anniversary Weekend.

It was time to drive to France again,

Somewhere we never been.

First stop was this small tourist spot called the German Gate.

It was a good spot for pictures.

It was a hot summer day but not bad.

Metz was not crazy busy.

We stopped by the Cathedral,

We have been to a lot but this one was definitely amazing.

These windows was even better in real life.

After walking we decided to stop and pick a Cafe to have a drink.

It was busy in that area but not bad.

Have I mentioned how much I love these Spaghetti Ice cream?

I want to have them all Summer long!

This one is Strawberry flavored.

It was so good!

We went back and walk around to go to the Covered court.

It was an interesting area.

Lots of cheese, meat and also seafood!

We walked more and stopped at few unique places.

Metz is so beautiful.

Definitely worth the visit.

Let me know what you guys think!!

Lovin this German Spritz!

Hubby grilled all the amazing meats outside.

And I cook inside.

Sunday's have becoming like meal prep for us. 

We make all the good food

I have been wanting to make this for a long long time!

I thought Kare Kare would be so hard to make,

I was wrong.

I made this Seafood Salad For side.

Something fresh and creamy.

It's so easy to make.

Made with Mayo, Sour cream, Imitation crab and Cooked Shrimp.

Garnish with fresh dill, 

Of course Season with your preference!

The Ribs came out so perfect.

We are watching 1923 right now 

So good so far. 

Dinner was perfection!!

L'Osteria (Kaiserslautern, Germany)

 

I'm always on a hunt for an amazing

Authentic Italian Pizza.

My friend mentioned about this restaurant

So went to meet up for Dinner!!

The vibes was amazing

I love it!!

It was really hot and probably one of things I don't like living in

Europe is very handful,

But not having AC tops it all off.

So.. 

We seated outside.

Hoping we get lucky and get a breezy time.

Started off with some Negroni.

Cheers!!

We took our time ordering

The food came so quickly.

I was so surprised how big was this Pizza.

And the crust?!

YESS!!!

Perfection!

I ordered some Seafood Pasta.

Hubby shared his Pizza so I got to try!

IT was Legit!

SO good!

Of course,

There's playground!

Definitely one of my favorites of being here.

We ordered Dessert while the Boys play.

This Spaghetti Ice cream didn't taste like Gelato,

But it was still good.

Of course gotta have some Tiramisu!

It was a nice dinner with Friends.

Definitely coming back!!

U-Pick Flowers Germany

 

Have a I mentioned that this is my new favorite thing to do here in Germany?

Well I will keep saying it.  =)

This one is close to the Lavender Fields that we went to.

It's definitely Summer!

I missed seeing this.

Not a big Field of Sunflowers like in Italy

But, It's still pretty!

And I get to have them!!

This field has lots of varieties of flowers!

I picked mostly Sunflowers and some Daffodils.

I loveeee it!!!
