messy kitchen, yummy food
I’ll just say it – I’ve been in a cooking rut. For dinner, Ryan has been the more adventurous cook while I’ve stuck to old favorites like beginner chicken dinner, baked salmon, and pad thai. I’ve barely been baking either. This winter I’ve applied my creative energies to knitting and have been letting my cookbooks…
Is nearly a month into January too late to say happy New Year? Since it’s the first time I’m posting in 2018, I’m deciding it’s not. So… Happy New Year! I know January is usually a time where people are hitting the gym, going sugar free, and working to get healthy after eating all the…
I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted, but I couldn’t let the end of the year go by without one more recipe. This time of year we often have tons of cooking going on – cookies, roasts, lots of big family meals. But sometimes, I’m lazy. Sometimes, I’m cold and I’m tired and I…

Two Tourist Tuesdays in a row?! I know, it’s crazy. But I can’t help myself. A few weeks ago I got to go to Infinity Mirrors with some friends from work and it was awesome. I had to share it before it leaves the Hirshhorn on May 14th. So get excited my friend, this is a…
Get ready friends, because this is a big Tourist Tuesday. A lot has happened since last week, and if you don’t remember you can catch up with Part 1 of Back in the DMV. When last I left you, I had been to my friend Mala’s bridal shower and I had spent the day hanging…
