Obviously growing up in DC I never got to experience happy hours (I mean, duh, I was like 12), but now that I’m living here and working, happy hours have become my jam. While there are many fantastic places for after-work drinks, the best kind in DC are happy hours until 8. Extended happy hours […]

Over the course of this week I’ve been writing gift guides to help you all in your gift buying endeavors this holiday season. I’ve talked about gifts for the traveler and the coffee lover, and today I’m going to focus on the chef! (Stay tuned this weekend for the last installment in this holiday gift […]
Holiday Gift Guide: The Coffee Lover
This weekend I wrote the first post in this holiday gift guide series about the perfect gifts for the traveler, but today I’m going to focus on a gift guide for the coffee lover. I love coffee. Some may call it an addiction, but I call it true love. As a matter of fact I’m drinking coffee as […]
Butternut Squash Pasta With Walnuts
Its been a while since I shared a recipe, but since we moved back from Australia and we’re trying to figure out where we’re actually going to live we’ve been staying with my parents and I haven’t been too adventurous in the kitchen. I have been making dinner though, you know to earn my keep, […]
Mall-Like Soft Pretzels
I’ve always been a sucker for those delicious heart attack-inducing, buttery soft pretzels from the mall.

This made the whole experience pretty glum and I […]
Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Wrapped in Bacon

This is a delicious dinner recipe that incorporates a whole lot of bacon, so how could I possibly resist. It was super easy […]
Banana Bread
Guys, I know it’s been so long and I apologize. Things have just been really crazy and for a little while I got down in the dumps for no real reason and wasn’t really in the mood to blog. I had all these ideas I wanted to write about but instead I chose to watch […]
One Pan Garlic Lemon Chicken
I can feel spring in the air here in Australia now (very exciting!) and I need to savor it while it lasts since in a couple of months I’ll be moving back to the northern hemisphere and will be met with months more of cold weather. So tonight I was feeling something a little light […]
Black Magic Cake
I’m all about the baked goods the past couple of days if you can’t tell. But I love to eat and I love to eat bad food. And even better if I make it myself! I’m big on cookies, but there’s nothing more satisfying than cake. One of my biggest pet peeves are dry cakes […]
