Ever feel like you need to get something off your chest? Sometimes I’ve just gotta talk it out. That’s why I’ve decided to do a monthly feature called “Thoughts On…” At the beginning of the month, I’ll provide a prompt to stimulate discussion. The point is to get us to put our thoughts out there…

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.

The Dish: The scene in the beginning – where Andy painfully recounts his “crazy” weekend spent making an egg salad sandwich with all the “accoutrements” – kills me. I think it sets the tone for the whole film. You know this movie is going to make you laugh and push you into that awkward zone.…

Usually the task of choosing a restaurant while we’re on vacation is left in my hands since I’m so obsessed. But on our recent Vegas trip, Mark and Allison were the ones to discover and suggest Julian Serrano for our big night out with Greg and Susan. I think Mark was drawn to the restaurant…

Since this past weekend was sandwiched between two power-packed weekends (Vegas the weekend prior, DC the weekend after), I wanted to lay low. I also hear there’s a blizzard a-brewin’ so I wanted to do a bunch of cooking in case I find myself stuck in my apartment. I knew one batch of muffins would…
