Ina may have convinced us to visit Paris, like, yesterday.

This is my neighborhood, Garten shares with Hoda Kotb, Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker and Craig Melvin.

First up, potato pancakes are a must for Gartens picnic spread.

The smell of it is just incredible, she exclaimsand we wish we could smell it through the screen.

More grabs: fresh tomatoes and soft cheese galore for savory bites.

Garten left theTodayshow hosts with some parting advice: Slow down and enjoy life when you could.

Well cheers a glass of prosecco to that!
