It’s part three of my European Recap! So far I’ve covered London, Paris, Lucerne, Munich, Venice, Florence, Pisa, Rome and Pompeii. Now I take you to the highlight of my trip- Greece! I’ve been dreaming of Greece ever since the words Santorini drifted through the air one summer in college. I’m not sure how the…
I’m back from Florida and a little sad. Even though I only left the beaches of Greece less than a month ago, I realized I’ve missed the ocean. Living in a landlocked state during the summer makes me crave Los Angeles and the beach. I spent a large portion of last summer hanging out at…
I hope everyone had an amazing 4th of July! I’m sad to leave Florida today. I’ve been enjoying the ocean breeze, salt water and sand. I truly miss living by the beach. When I was little I dreamed about living near the beach, but never actually thought it would happen. Now that I’m back in…
Happy July 4th! I’m celebrating in the Florida keys. I hope everyone has a safe but very fun holiday! I love the Fourth because I am a huge fan of fireworks. I made a 4th of July menu complete with entree, side dishes and of course dessert! So fire up those grills and get cooking….
For me the Fourth of July isn’t the same without cobbler. Summer is the season of berries, which is the best time of year in my opinion. I love berries especially cherries and blueberries! I bought a huge bag of cherries on sale and knew I wanted to make a cobbler. I called up…
The countdown to the Fourth is on! I leave for Florida tomorrow bright and early. I haven’t been to Florida in more than 10 years. I still remember my family vacation to Sarasota with its powder white sand beaches and amazing sunsets. This time I will be visiting the Atlantic seaboard then jaunting down to…
It’s Meaty Monday once again! I hope it makes your Monday a little less painful. I spent the weekend cooking up some recipe for the Fourth of July. The Fourth is one of my favorite holidays. I love fireworks. My love stems back to my childhood when my cul-de-sac used to buy a huge thing…
Round two of my Europe recap. Last week I covered London, Paris, Switzerland and Munich. You can catch up here if you missed it! This week I take you to Austria, Venice, Florence, Pisa, Rome and Pompeii. To break up the tour a bit, we stayed two nights in a quaint town in Austria. While…
In Europe drinking instant coffee isn’t as crime against humanity. From Paris through Italy and Greece, you couldn’t find a cafe that didn’t offer a frappe. At first I thought it was simply a frappacino until I finally came across a description. I was shocked to find out it was a blended instant coffee drink….
Did you know I write over on The Eighty Twenty? I am absolutely in love with this site and adore the other women contributing. I’m sure you’ve heard of the 80/20 rule when it comes to food, but The Eighty Twenty applies this to everything. Life is about balance. There is a time for work…
I’m still getting back into my daily routine. It has taken me longer than I expected to get off of vacation brain. I guess being gone more than a month does that to you. I’m already planning my Fourth of July menu! I love cooking for holidays. I get so excited and start my planning…
Today I’m sharing photos and more about my Europe trip! I’ve been officially planning this trip since last May, but I’ve been dreaming about this trip for as long as I could remember. When I was in college I wanted to study abroad so bad, but unfortunately I couldn’t find a program that offered the…
