The smart thing to do when you’re in two major weddings that are two weeks apart would be to take the weekend in the middle to relax. But that wouldn’t be fun, would it? Instead I went to DC to spend some time with my bestie and had a fabulous time. Now it’s a mad…

I’m much prefer pie over cake, and I don’t discriminate when it comes to meat vs. sweet, which is why I was thrilled to discover Dangerously Delicious on a night out in DC this weekend. It’s open until 3:30 AM, making it the perfect place to fuel up late night before going dancing at Rock…

I’ve started noticing restaurants using kale instead of lettuce for salads. I had assumed kale was too tough to eat raw but it doesn’t just work, it’s freakin awesome. It’s not all watery like other lettuce types (yea you, iceberg). It’s thick so you’ll be crunching all over the place (which I think makes you…

The other day I really wanted some cheesy bread. It was crave central. I wasn’t in the mood to do anything serious because that would take time and effort, which would only postpone cheesy bread eating time.

Like the circus itself, the writing of The Night Circus is mystical and enchanting, filled with ornate scenes of ice gardens and paper forests that can only come from the most romantic and whimsical of imaginations. If this is what runs through author Erin Morgenstern’s mind on a regular basis, I would love to take a…

It’s finally arrived: my three weeks of crazy begins tomorrow with Steph’s wedding weekend. Did I get everything done with my apartment before leaving town? Of course not. Does that stress me out? Yes, yes it does. Instead of freaking, I just keep telling myself it will all get done on the week nights between…

Since my pear/sunbutter/granola snack worked out so well, I tested out another variation for breakfast the other day. This time, I smeared sunbutter on a rice cake (made with brown rice because a regular rice cake just didn’t seem healthy enough) and topped with blueberries. The creaminess of the sunbutter and juiciness of the berries…

Lindsay and I had planned an evening in to drink wine and watch Modern Family (she needed to catch up on last season’s finale before this week’s season premiere). I knew there wouldn’t be much time to cook a full dinner, but we didn’t want to settle for takeout and Linds needed to use up…
