Last week Ryan and I traveled back to Wisconsin to spend the weekend with my family. To be honest, we were traveling home for some very sad reasons, but somehow being together as a family always seems to put a happy spin on things. There is just something about going home that really puts a […]

Scotch-a-Roo’s
I am pretty sure that I say this with just about every recipe that I share with you, but honestly, this is one of my favorite recipes ever. And also a recipe that I would file under “Mom’s most famous.” Although I truly loved everything and anything that my Mom made for us growing up, […]
Bruschetta
One of the most memorable meals that I had during my first stay in Montepulciano (obviously aside from literally everything that I ate), was a simple tomato bruschetta. I had just finished my Italian classes for the day, and I was wandering around town trying to figure out where to stop for lunch. I vaguely […]
Apple Picking
When Ryan and I lived back East, Fall would roll around and I would instantly be excited for the brisk weather, long walks around Boston enjoying all of the colorful trees, freezing our butts off at a pumpkin festival, going to King Richard’s Faire, and of course, the arrival of sweater weather.

Greek Potatoes
Before traveling to Greece, I don’t think that I had any clue that there was such a thing as “Greek Potatoes.” In fact, no, I definitely did not have any idea that I would come home from Greece craving their oh-so-savory Mediterranean style roasted potatoes. To our surprise, most restaurants in Greece tried to serve […]
Boston
There is something about this back to school time of year that really makes me miss Boston. Probably a little bit because it was when Ryan and I would have both just returned to the city for the new school year and were reunited (we both went to college in Boston), partially because Boston is […]
Best-Laid Plans
On Sunday we had a little bit of extra time on our hands, so I suggested to Ryan that we drive up the coast for the afternoon. I thought that it might be nice to enjoy some of the beach towns that we don’t normally visit. (But I was also secretly hoping to get some […]
