When Ash suggested we meet in my new neighborhood for a much needed happy hour catch-up sesh, I jumped at the chance to try Terroir.

Somebody brought Funky Chunky into the office the other day. There is a pretzel version with pecans, a popcorn version with almonds (I may have the nuts backwards), and…

One restaurant that Lindsay and I both had on our list was Northern Spy Food Co. For a menu full of local and seasonal ingredients, you would think the prices would be steep, but everything is about $15. Everyone has been saying they have a killer brunch; and if everyone is saying it, it must…

I was planning on taking something out of the freezer for dinner one night last week, but after seeing this recipe show up on my blog roll, I took a new approach. Everyone keeps talking about how Summer is ending! Summer is ending! First of all, let’s live in the present, shall we? Stop worrying…
