Hi everyone! My name is Lori Murphy and I have been blogging at Josie + Nina for about a year. My site is named in honor of my two Italian grandmas and it’s where I feature modern food with a touch of Italian old school cool. Growing up, I moved all over the country so I have a love of regional foods but always add a hit of Italian flavor and style 
.
I live in the Chicago 'burbs and am excited to get to know all of you!
Welcome Lori! I just had lasagna last night and was thinking how I need to up my Italian cooking/eating game. 
Glad you’re here.
Lori! So good to see you over here! Mmmm, Italian cooking. I’m hungry!
I didn’t know you lived in Chicago. We’re practically neighbors!
Thanks Bethany! Ooo lasagna is one of my favs! I hope to have a post this fall
Hey Megan! So happy to be here - you have built a great community! Where are you? I didn’t know you were nearby?
Well, close-ish. I’m in Minneapolis!
We have lots of family in Minneapolis! My husband’s brother and sister and their families live there. Love your cities!!
