When in Wisconsin, it's your moral imperative to eat all the cheese. In fact, I'm pretty sure they'll kick you out if you don't. Or if you cheer for any football team other than the Packers (whew, I'm safe there). And really is there anything more sinfully delicious than fried [...]
Yes, I know what you're thinking... C'mon Christa, this is a food blog, we don't want to hear you waxing poetic about a bowl of oatmeal. Pizza? Definitely. Tacos? Oh yeah. But this is oatmeal, how life-changing could it actually be? No amount of slivered almonds, no amount of fruit [...]
The best thing about lunch at Modern Market is that eating healthier is never a drag. Everything, including my favorite Thai chicken salad that's pictured here, is super flavorful with unexpected little touches. There's toasted coconut for texture, curried sweet potato, crunchy cucumber and maybe the best part of all, [...]
Well, this was a first. I've never waited for more than three hours for a table anywhere (on a Wednesday mid-morning no less), but since Krista and I made the trek to Waco, we decided to see it through. If anything, it's a tribute to just how much people absolutely [...]
For some people it's the Hollywood sign. For others it's a big celebrity sighting, a studio tour or a hike through Griffith Park. But for me, playing the tourist in Los Angeles isn't complete without breakfast at Joan's on Third. Now I know what you're thinking, you can get a [...]
When boarding a last-minute flight to Rome simply isn’t possible, the next best thing is enjoying a cozy dinner that reminds you of eating in an Eternal City trattoria — a place where the pasta, pizze al taglio, even the fried Castletravano olives, are all right on point. And that’s exactly [...]
Ok, so it wasn't technically my first lobster roll. I'd tried a cold lobster roll once in NYC, and let's just say, that mayo-drenched plop of lobster salad on top of an equally unremarkable hot dog bun made me wonder what all the fuss was about. Surely there was more [...]
This is one happy girl right here. It's sunny, I'm in Bryant Park in one of my all-time favorite cities, and I'm enjoying incredible Speculoos ice cream. Now I'm not usually a fan of having my picture taken, let alone when I'm eating of all things, but this definitely captures [...]
Two weeks ago, I was sitting on the beach and getting my first sunburn in ages with these girls. While it’s no secret that I LOVE California, I’d never made it down to San Diego. But now that I have? Yeah, I’m a big fan. Then again it’s hard to [...]
Ever go to a place so stunning, so positively otherworldly, that you can’t even believe you’re there? That’s precisely how I felt 11 years ago when Will and I drove up the Pacific Coast Highway from Los Angeles to San Francisco for our honeymoon. And during last year’s anniversary celebration [...]
