This one’s for all my gluten free vegetarian friends out there. Or just people who like delicious things. I recently bought some interesting looking pasta made from black beans at Trader Joe’s. The problem was, I decided I wanted to incorporate it into my supper very last minute and didn’t really have any ingredients to make…

If you live near Sandfly and are looking for a legit breakfast, Loc’s is where it’s at. Honestly, I would eat there even if it wasn’t in my own neighborhood because I would say it might be the best diner in Savannah. Obviously, you could get the waffles and my 20-month-old nephew, Brooks, will certainly…

My weekend at home was suuuuper quick (arrived at midnight on Thursday night, left at 7 AM on Sunday morning) but it was still wonderful to be home and be surrounded by family for my nephew’s bris. I didn’t mind leaving, because I’ll be going back a week from tomorrow! Now I can just focus…

And now I present to you one of the easiest salads ever. Drain and rinse a can of chickpeas. Gently toss with store-bought pesto, crumbled feta, julienned radishes, and quinoa. I bought the pesto with quinoa from Trader Joe’s, which means I took the extra easy way out; however, you can very easily cook up…

I can not handle how talented Marina Keegan is. At age 22 she is an INCREDIBLE writer. That’s why it is devastating to learn that at age 22, just five days after graduating magna cum laude from Yale, Keegan died in a car crash. It’s so cheesy to call someone a bright star, but that’s…

The spicy rigatoni at Carbone is one of those bucket list restaurant dishes. It’s the cheapest thing on the menu, but it is probably the most instagrammed item they have. That said, it’s still $26 and there’s not even any meat in it. But I’ve found a loophole: the rigatoni fra diavolo at Parm. You…

“Sweet & Sour” is my version of that dinner table game where every guest says what the best and worst parts of the day were. As we head into the weekend, I think it’s important to get the bad stuff off your chest and remember the positives as a silver lining and energizing factor. When…
