I was a big fan of Mission Chinese so Chef Danny Bowien’s second NYC restaurant, Mission Cantina, has been bookmarked for a while. The cuisine is different, but you’ve still got that easygoing Cali vibe. Lots of backwards hats and “yea, man”s. We started with the sunflower seed guacamole and I recommend you do the…

The plan for our last family dinner in Vegas was sushi. I had been craving it and Allison will never deny it so the deal was done. Except the restaurant couldn’t accommodate us during the time slot we wanted and we didn’t have any wiggle room since Allison had a red eye flight to catch.…

Part of the fun of enjoying a meal is dressing for it. The right outfit sets the mood. I think the food just tastes better when I’m dressed appropriately for the occation. My ensemble for a night out with the girls is very different from the one I would wear to a Sunday boozy brunch. Here,…

Because I ate this while watching the mid-season premiere of one of my favorite shows, I’m going to call this meal “How to Get Away with Nachos.” They’re not just called that because I ate them while watching Viola Davis SLAY as Annalise Keating. They’re also called that because this recipe is your way to eat…

It’s three ingredients and all you have to do is mash/stir them together with a spoon. These three simple ingredients I speak of? Goat cheese, Greek yogurt, and dill. This dip works because goat cheese and Greek yogurt both have that tang but the yogurt gives it the smooth consistency you need in a dip and makes…

Alcohol can really mess with your sleep. Just because you pass out easily when you’ve been drinking doesn’t mean you’re getting a good night’s rest. There are some people running around right now who think it’s ok to not vaccinate their children. Though the argument (which I don’t support) that vaccinations cause autism may not…

Someone is dead. We know the death occurred at a school trivia night (of all places) and that the names of three women – Madeline, Celeste, and Jane – are on everyone’s lips. We immediately rewind to Kindergarten orientation day when the three women form a bond over champagne that is quickly tested when Jane’s…
