I never thought I would find octopus in a fast casual restaurant. If I knew this was a possibility, I would have stopped by Eons sooner. Instead, I kept ordering from GRK. It was a little further away, but I knew what I was getting and I knew I liked it. I’m still a fan,…

I arrived in Savannah yesterday so I’m a happy girl. Work is crazy so it has been stressful getting everything done in order to leave on vacation, but I can see the marsh from my bedroom window so I can’t really complain. I can’t wait for the manfriend to arrive tomorrow so I can take…

Sometimes I think there’s a place you’ve just got to know about and my Public Service Announcements (PSAs) will give you the full skinny. The truffles at Stick With Me Sweets are perfect little domes with a gorgeous bit of color brushed across the top. When you see them lined up next to each other,…

Typically, when pasta is the main meal, it’s a Wintertime thing. You don’t mind eating hearty bolognese or dense alfredo when you’re in an oversized sweater by the fireplace. But it is totally possible to create a pasta entree that won’t make you afraid to put on a bikini afterwards. The key is to use…
