Will and I have been on the healthy eating track as of late, but to make tonight’s Greek salad with roasted shrimp (mmmm!) a little more special (it is a Saturday night, after all), I decided I’d make my own croutons with the leftover rosemary bread in the cabinet. And [...]
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 [...]

Like some of the best discoveries in life, it was completely accidental. I’d heard [...]
Confession time: So, I have a new lunch ritual… Well, when I’m not in the middle of 1,353 deadlines anyway, which was basically the case all this week. But when my work day isn’t quite so insane, I make my salad, pour myself a glass of green tea sweetened a [...]
I intentionally ended yesterday’s blog post with an ellipsis because I knew I had so much to say about Rome and didn’t want anyone’s eyes popping out of his/her head while I was yammering on and on and on… Truth be told, I left for this trip longing for inspiration. [...]
Maybe it’s my insane love of pasta, Parmesan and the perfect slice of crusty bread rubbed with garlic and topped with fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil and the sweetest of tomatoes or all those repeat viewings of Roman Holiday, The Talented Mr. Ripley and Under the Tuscan Sun [...]
I left most of the picture taking to Will on our recent European adventure, but I couldn’t resist taking a shot of this particular basket of bread in Paris. No herbs, no cheese, they just served it with lots of unsalted butter (European, of course, which means more butterfat). And [...]
