Love your videos! Me and my husband watched all your episodes! And because of you, guys, we decided to retire in Italy. Not only Italy, we fall in love with Umbria. Because of you we visited Umbria in November. Spent 5 weeks there. Felt in love even more and now we are looking for apartment or house for ourselves there. Thank you! Thank you for all inspiration sent! Happy New Year! Hope will be your neighbor soon 😁

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

How exciting!! Umbria is beautiful and so easy to fall in love with. It's what happened to us. We were travelling through and never left! Please stay in touch, we would love to meet you! Happy New Year🎊🎉🎊

You can drizzle balsamic vinegar on your tomatoes ten mins after they have softened during roasting process too. Tastes sooo good!

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

Oh,this sounds delicious!

I love watching your videos, I’ve been watching the progress of your home and I just love your kitchen. I love tomatoes so that was nice to see you make some tomato soup, I’ve made a tomato soup before, but I start with a Sofrito. Thank you for sharing. And yes, it would be great. If you share some of your little trips to the markets, I’d love to see the Italian little antique markets or any kind of a market vegetable market. Even if it’s a short video, I’d be nice to see the area around where you guys live, to see how long it takes you to get to places and what’s around you what’s in your area like restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, etc.!!❤ oh, and I love your Christmas tree and don’t worry about putting it up early, I’ve already put up mine because I take care of my 97-year-old father and I never know when I’m gonna have time so I did it this week😊

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! We will definitely be a bit better about sharing whats going on around here. I think I will video the Christmas markets next...stay tuned!

Your kitchen is so beautiful! 😍. How special to have fresh olive oil from your own trees! 😮. I’m jealous. 😉 Is that baking sheet adjustable? I’ve never seen one like that before. 😮 My favorite soup to make on yucky days used to be potato soup with homemade bread. Yum! Now that we’re traveling I don’t do much cooking anymore. We lived in Iowa for several years. Each year I would pick all the tomatoes, including the green ones, before the first frost. Then I would make green tomato bread. Oh my! It is delicious. It’s a quick, sweet bread. I would love to see a market video and the video from the Switzerland Christmas markets! Your tree is gorgeous! I love the memories you shared of all your ornaments. How precious. It will be an unusual Thanksgiving this year, as we are currently in Campeche, Mexico, on the Gulf. Love the paintings! 😍😍😍 Your soup looked delicious! I swear I could smell it through the video. 😉 Happy Thanksgiving from Mexico. 🦃

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

Yes, that cookie sheet is adjustable! I love it! I'm leaving tomorrow to start my Christmas market adventures! Stay tuned and thank you so much for watching!

[@Where_in_the_world_are_we_now]

@@ouritaliandestiny7955 wow! I’ve never seen an adjustable cookie sheet. That is so cool! I’m so looking forward to seeing your Christmas market videos! We are hoping to visit a couple of them when we finally make it to Europe in a couple of years. 😁. Safe travels and have a wonderful time!

[@jaymekeiffer5083]

We would Love to see any videos of your experiences! I started rewatching your videos on Umbria that I had watched over a year ago!! Makes me smile seeing the area you all have chosen for your Italian Destiny!

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

Aww, thank you so much! We keep trying to work on new content, so thank you for your input.

[@marianaramirez3374]

[@JayandTanyaTravel]

Thanks Debbie for the video. We're cooking Thanksgiving dinner at our house today and I wish I had included tomato soup! Happy holidays!

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

That would have been great!

Yes, I love your videos. Please show the local market and Christmas markets as well.

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

I'm leaving for Northern Italy and Switzerland tomorrow and I will be filming the Christmas markets as well as in the Dolomites on another trip! Stay tuned😁

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

So good to see you! Watched your Christmas market video which KZbin kindly decided to notify me! Tomato soup my favorite I can imagine even better with Italian tomatoes & home grown olive oil! ~Cara ❤

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

So glad you enjoyed the videos! Hope you guys had a very Merry Christmas and wishing you a Happy New Year 🎊🎉

[@evabloecher]

It was so nice to see you both again. Robert and I love tomato soup during the winter. I grow tomatoes in my poly tunnel and I also get a lot every year. We like the soup the way you make it. I will add though fresh basil and I also use a bit of sugar. The sugar rounds off the soup nicely. Actually I bought a (I dont know if you call it that in Italy) fruit mill in Italy a few years ago so sometimes I use it and that way we get a very, very velvety soup but I also use my blender sometimes. Yes please show us "your" markets - all kinds of markets. I really miss the kind of markets you have in Italy. All the best to you both and have a nice trip.

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

Oh shoot, basil would have been great in the soup and I never even thought about sugar! Definitely going to video the Christmas markets so stay tuned!

[@leladavis2126]

Would love to see video of local market. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your husband. All markets would be great! Safe travels.

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving as well Lela. I'm leaving tomorrow for my first weekend of Christmas markets, stay tuned!

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Yes make more videos would love to see more vlogs of daily life, markets etc. Merry Christmas to you both ~Cara 🎄

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

We're on it! Buon Natale 🎄

[@mikejoy2048]

That setting on your oven is probably for convection cooking. The fan circulates the hot air and cooks the food a bit quicker. You will probably notice that things are done sooner than the recipe states. You can compensate by either cooking the recipe item for less time than called for or by lowering the temperature of the oven a bit. I have read that you can lower the temp by 25% or decrease the cooking time by 25%.

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

Whoa! Interesting, thanks Michael 😃

[@talesfromtuscany]

Ciao cara! So lovely to see you again! I love yummy soups and make loads. I make a lot of zucchini/broccoli and potato soups, or minestrone, or tomato as well. I LOVE soups! I hope we get to see you again next year...was so great catching up again this year ...big baci to you and Stijn. 🥰🤗😘

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

Stijn is also a big soup fan! I definitely need to make more. Hope to see you again soon as well!

[@talesfromtuscany]

AHHH well then I know what to cook for Stijn when I see him again! :D Let's catch up next year for sure 🥰🤗@@ouritaliandestiny7955

[@lyngordon7282]

Thumbs up on some videos in the marketplaces! Thank you for sharing your soup making :)

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

Will do! Thank you for watching 💞🇮🇪

[@donamarinas6274]

Looove your videos 😊 More content please on your travels

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

Thank you so much! We will definitely try harder to share more.

[@DailyShelter]

Loved your recipe ✨ Greetings from Botswana 👋

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

So glad you liked it!

[@brianfilkowski]

A lovely minestrone.

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

Oh yes!

[@Brancato8]

Thank you so much it looks simple to make and you both have a great chemistry. Where did you come from in the states? Have you done a video on your life’s journey?

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

It really was simple! We came from Reno Nevada but Stijn is born and raised Belgian. Yes, we have many videos on our travels since we left the States and several on buying a house and living in Italy. Hope you check them out💞🇮🇹

[@jamuherbal]

Video good beautiful my friend good afternoon my friend 👍👍👍👍 12:24

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

Grazie mille 💞

[@jacobsoto7228]

I am surprised to see your videos!

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

Hope you are enjoying them!

[@brianfilkowski]

Looking good! How goes the drivers license project?

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

Haven't had to really deal with it yet. I exchanged mine for a Belgian one which is acceptable to Italy for a bit and Stijn has had a Belgian one since he was 18 years old so he's good too. But I think we will have some issues in about a year since we are official residents now.

[@indiadraghi1172]

Si mercatini di Natale e come trascorri le giornate in Italia e poi vorrei sapere se ti sei pentita di aver scelto di vivere in Italia?

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

No regrets at all, we love it here! Stay turned for the Christmas markets!

[@indiadraghi1172]

Ok allora aspettiamo i tuoi video sui mercatini di Natale e anche se ti va come trascorrerete la vigilia e il Natale

[@brianfilkowski]

Ragù

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

We made a goose ragù last year, it was delicious 😋
