Five Years of Blogging Bender {Giveaway}

March 16, 2013

Five years. Five years since I was a college junior, secretly reading food blogs instead of doing homework. Five years since I moved into my first apartment and said good riddance to dorm food. Five years since I decided to try whipped banana oatmeal and see what all the fuss was about. Five years since [...]

Red Pepper, Basil and Parmesan Gougère Bites + Ellie Update

March 14, 2013

Inspired by our Parisian book club meeting this past Sunday, I decided that my potluck contribution would be French.

Reading Between The Wines: The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

March 11, 2013

This weekend marked the second meeting of Reading Between the Wines. Our book selection this time around was a lot different than our first pick, but I love variety and jumping from young adult to historical fiction is pretty much my normal reading routine.

The entire experience practically blew by from when we drove to the starting line at 3:00 am Friday morning to [...]

A Different Kind Of Hustle

February 21, 2013

For two years, the end of February meant Hustle Up the Hancock. Bobby and I loved racing up 94 flights of stairs in 2011 and 2012. The reward was an unparalleled view of our favorite big city. Not to mention a pretty medal and the pride of knowing we’d achieved something pretty cool. It was [...]

Wining + Dining: Napa Girl’s Trip Part IV

February 18, 2013

Thanks to the wonder that is Facebook, I’ve now learned that February 18 is National Wine Drinking Day. If you ask me, whoever created this holiday was just looking for an extra excuse to say “cheers,” to which I say…genius. What better day to share the last details of our girl’s trip to Napa?
