I’m not quite sure how it happened so fast, but we’re now only nine days (!!!) from chowing down on turkey celebrating Thanksgiving. Considering how all the stores transitioned to all things Christmas weeks ago (yes, I actually heard “Silver Bells” while shopping the day after Halloween—absolute craziness), I think [...]
There’s nothing better than when two of your favorite foods come together and make something even tastier. Case in point: this homemade pumpkin granola. In what won’t be a surprise to anyone who knows me well, I’m a pretty ardent pumpkin enthusiast. Whether it’s in a pie, scone, latte, ravoli, [...]
I'm embarrassed to say that I got this for Christmas and (gasp!) finally got around to flipping it open this past week. Better late than never, right? Yes, I'm one of those people—the kind who practically devours cookbooks like good fiction. Like most things, I admittedly jumped on the Smitten [...]
When I was a kid, there was nothing better than a banana split or a peanut buster parfait from good ol’ Dairy Queen. What can I say? I was a girl with simple tastes. So imagine my surprise when I ordered a banana split to share with the hubby in [...]
Was downloading the pics off my phone from my recent visit to Colorado Springs, and I came across this little gem that my sister took. Oh yeah, the croissants, the flaky, buttery naughtiness that totally made our whole day. Pure heaven, I tell ya. There’s this cute little bistro in [...]

I can’t believe it’s already been two weeks (!!!) since we returned from our whirlwind week in NYC, but alas, it has, and I haven’t even (gasp!) downloaded our vacation pictures from my phone. But even though I’m way behind on the downloading, that doesn’t mean I can’t write about [...]
While Rome is just one of many cities I have Travelocity track the fares for, I know that short of winning the lotto, a trip back to Italy probably isn’t in the cards anytime soon. But when doing a little research for Will and I’s upcoming pilgrimage to NYC, I [...]
It’s fitting that I’ll be spending the last two days of March on an airplane because that’s exactly the kind of month it’s been. Eventful. Not that I’m complaining, mind you, I like eventful. As we speak, I’m (finally) updating my blog from my hotel room in Beverly Hills. I’m [...]
You know it’s been a good day when you come home and your hair still smells like melted butter. Yes, I think even the Queen of Butter herself, Paula Deen, would’ve been a little jealous of me today because every single dish I cooked in my “Fast French” cooking class [...]
