Do you have any guilty pleasures television shows? I don’t watch nearly as much tv as I used to but there are one or two shows that I’m embarrassed to admit I love. I guess it’s time for me to come clean (well, at least about one). [Read more...]

Every Christmas (with the exception of last year) Jeff and I travel to Tucson, Arizona for the holidays. Most of his immediate family lives there and over the past 6 1/2 years I have really grown to love Tucson like it’s my second home. Spending time there in December means I can slip back into my Spring/Fall wardrobe and enjoy used bookstores, funky coffee shops, family time and copious amounts of authentic Mexican food.
It was in Tucson that I first tried horchata. [Read more...]

You may have heard me chatting about Eat Write Retreat in a post or two. It’s a food blogger conference being held in Philadelphia at the end of this month. It was the very first blogger conference I attended and I am really excited to be going back. They’ve set a very high standard for what to expect at such an event and I hold every other conference up to that standard.
Attendees who registered early this year were automatically entered into an Amazing Apps Culinary Challenge. We were randomly assigned with an ingredient from one of the event sponsors.

We’re giving away a KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer in Ice. Isn’t it a gorgeous color? [Read more...]

Earlier I was chatting with Kim, another food blogger, and we discussed how we were both at a conference last year but never actually met. She wondered how that could have happened but it made a lot of sense to me. I’m pretty confortable writing about my life here and chatting with others on social media. I have wonderful friends and am a fairly social person in my day to day life. But I’m also extremely shy in certain social situations. In a room full of strangers I’ll often become introverted and stick with the people I know. I really hope it never comes across as being snobby. I just find engaging with people I don’t know well to be somewhat draining after awhile. I never fully relax. [Read more...]
