Do you have a list of states/countries you’d love to see? I recently told my husband we should start putting together a list just in case one of them slips our mind some day. I think it would be a way to make our adventures together more official, and it would be fun crossing places […]

Have you ever combined a handful of your favorite foods and put them in a bowl? No… I’m not talking putting pizza, fries and pasta in a bowl and eating it up, I’m talking about mixing your favorite protein with some of your go-to sides (dips, salads, etc.).

Yes, chocolate covered potato chips are totally a thing! I have my best friend to thank for introducing me to them. She’s been obsessed […]

When I was pregnant with our daughter I craved peanut butter all the time. Towards the end of my pregnancy I ended each night with a bowl of Whole Foods brand peanut butter ball cereal with milk (if you have yet to try it, go buy it!). Funny enough, every night before I had the […]

Brunch is the bomb dot com. I love that you can go savory or sweet, or both, and that it’s a meal that’s devoured later than breakfast (a total plus in this not-so-much-of-a-morning-person’s book). Brunch possibilities seem to be endless nowadays with different restaurants stirring up unique and trendy dishes that combine the flavors of […]

How many boxes of Girl Scout Cookies did you order this year? My heart practically skipped a beat when I saw our neighbor’s daughter approaching our door with green and purple boxes.We tried to contain ourselves and only bought four (two boxes of Thin Mints for my husband and two boxes of Samoas for me).
