what i eat in a week as an italian living in canada :)

although i wish i could be eating my nonna’s food every day of the year, this is what i actually eat on an everyday basis 😅
when i lived in italy i never had to cook for myself because my parents own two restaurants and i would just go eat there, so i'm still really new at cooking and i cook random things based on what i feel like eating.
i also wanted to mention that my eating habits are not great (as you might have noticed) but this is just what works for my current lifestyle. i eat at really weird times sometimes because my sleep schedule is really messed up and I woke up at 12/1pm most days when i’m not working. also i usually only have a coffee for breakfast because I don’t feel like eating anything for the first few hours after I wake up, and i sometimes skip meals because I simply don’t feel like cooking twice in a day lol. i'm hoping to start eating healthier but atm this is my reality 🥲
[about me]
Hi my name is Rosie, I'm 26 and my life is a bit confusing so i'm writing this lol.
To make it easy:
- I was born in Northern Italy, in the region of Veneto
- My whole family still lives there (mom, dad and my little sister Marty)
- I moved to Toronto, Canada, at 19 all alone to ✨find myself✨ (spoiler: it didn't work, i got more lost if anything)
So, I live half my life in Italy and half my life in Canada.
Also, my mom is from Moldova (country in Eastern Europe) and my dad is from Calabria (region in Southern Italy) and both my grandmas still live there. So you’ll occasionally see me going there as well.
I hope this clears things up a bit.. or maybe makes them more confusing lol.
I don’t know, i tried 😄

That's so refreshing to see someone eating normally, sick and tired of seeing that damn avocado on toast and just salads for lunch 😂 please post more!!

[@MistyLaShay]

Not the avocado toast slander 😭😂

[@laraozer6745]

i love avocado toast i eat it everyday :( so easy too

[@mvpgale]

avocado toast w an overeasy egg chihuahua cheese & cholula🤤

[@moonlitskylight5740]

@@laraozer6745 It is good but avocado isn't the most flavourful so for some it might get boring. That and dealing with ripeness got tiring real fast for me, haha.

Right like I’m not eating freakin avocados with toast and I eat salads when I feel like it

[@JT-Chgo]

I see your Nonna has taught you more than a thing or two in cucina. Brava. Learn all you can from her while you’re able.

[@Nikki_the_G]

I was going to say the same thing, the girl is an inspiration in the kitchen like her Nonna!

[@raggedyhaggity250]

i loved seeing that too!! i was worried she'd eat less like she did in italy or not cooking but im so happy you can't take italy out of her😍 i love seeing her eat so well and eat such hearty and healthy foods too. nonna must be very proud of her

How refreshing to see a more relatable way of eating, with variety and balance. You are doing a great job with your videos! :)

[@bobfryfish]

I agree. I see some videos of people showing what they eat and it's literally protein bars and salads all day. Wtf wants to live like that, lol. To me healthy eating is about balance: getting carbs, fat and protein in through a diverse diet and treating yourself a little.

there is genuinely something between you, the canada's touch of nostalgia, your bunnies and just how coziness surrounds you and how the simplicity extracts it all. even if you are mostly alone in your videos, shows a human basic daily activities but in the most astonishing way, kudos to your way of making me feel this kind of calmness. it's like a therapy. there's no enough and exact words i can use to define the solace swirling through the whole video. te quiero tanto.

I love how Italians eat and celebrate food!!! Healthy eating is eating whatever your heart desires!!

[@Kaastengels]

I love when your bunny is trying to "help" you stocking the fridge 😭❤

[@sarahr3747]

Your diet is balanced and demonstrates a healthy respect for food and eating! You can eat carbs and desserts because you eat mostly whole foods and everything in moderation. I think our problem in America is that we got fat on processed junk and fast food and then we want to do extreme things to lose weight - like dropping food groups. Thanks for showing us how to get this right ❤️

[@blessgodess5146]

It’s the processed foods and not enough eating home cooked meals. Everything in the microwave or fast food!! This is good example of health everything in balance. Sorry not sorry I love carbs sweets veggies meat it’s having a good relationship with food!!

[@shalenah]

exactly!!! bxc of conditioning people would rather eat processed keto congolomerates instead of a balanced whole foods diet. i don't eat meat (not including seafood except on occasion) but it really bothers me "healthy" is seen as no carbs or even vegan and not through the lens of whole nutrient dense foods

[@riccardoscalisi8942]

As an Italian who has been in the US the thing that shocked me the most is that Americans drink soft drinks at every meal and it means tons of sugar and sugar it's very unhealthy. We drink water while eating.

[@shaybae95]

Exactly and people forget that your body isn’t like everyone else’s find what works for you. Most of the time it’s trial and error but many Americans lack patience hence the crazy weight loss fads.

[@LDTube-pz9fq]

@@riccardoscalisi8942 but as an italian you must admit we italians as not that different from USA nowadays. Everywhere I see overweight and obese people expecially kids and nutritionists are getting rich in Italy and there are so many fad trends like keto (there are even keto bars and restaurants) We're not that different, we eat so much processed food today in Italy, we eat so many calories outside, fast foods and pizzerias are full (and a pizza is 1000 calories) Also a lot of italian kids drink coca with every meal.

[@himadri9168]

just make this channel about food gurll. I am not lying when I say that I can watch this daily like I don't even care if you repeat the dishes this was just so satisfying to watch ( I immediately found a positive change in my mood ) and also this just motivates me to eat healthy

[@m.p1120]

ugh i miss being able to eat like this. recently i’ve been going through a lot with intestinal issues and my dietary restrictions have really been limiting what i can eat. i’m from sicily and i love traditional food which usually entails a lot of dairy, but i’m highly lactose intolerant (lactaid doesn’t work for me)and i can’t eat high fat/ high salt meats like italian sausages or most types of pork and like bacon and such without throwing up. it makes me so sad to not be able to eat most traditional food anymore that i used to as a kid but looking back it makes sense why i would always feel ill and overfull after eating those foods. i also can’t drink alcohol because of intestinal issues. i just miss being able to eat whatever i want without feeling sick or throwing up. like i can barley stomach parmesan cheese anymore and it makes me so sad to just eat plain spaghetti with sauce. i have to be so hyper vigilant of what’s in my food, and some days i just deal with the consequences, but those days i usually regret it.

[@m.p1120]

granted a lot of traditional food doesn’t have dairy or high fat/ salt meats or alcohol so i can still eat a lot of traditional food, but i do miss a lot of things like cannolis, a baba, sausages, creamy pasta sauces, etc.

[@aliceinwonderland4773]

I'm sicilian too and i'm intolerant to istamine and animal proteine so i vomit meat and fish, but sometimes i eat their in small quantities, i Hope to gain some weigh but Is seems impossible for me, i eat only veggie and carboidrate and no fries food, we have to eat whats our body ask Is the best for us

You need to look into local farmers markets. Also look up if you have a local veggie co op, or if there is any CSA share. Veggies and fruits at winter ans spring are bad because it is not a season for them.
