One of the perks of being a food blogger is you get to try new things that you may not ordinarily try. For free. While I was in Europe, I received a Tasting Box by Foodzie… It had all kinds of goodies including: Dried Pineapple from Peeled Snacks – Brooklyn, NY Traditional Alfajores from Sabores del Sur – San Francisco, CA Lemon Poppyseed & Almond Biscotti from Biscotti Bari – Petaluma, CA Pure Southern Iced Tea from Pluff Iced Tea – Bluffton, SC Assorted Fresh Herb Sea Salts from Woody’s Gourmet – Campbell, CA… Read more >

I’m sorry (but I’m not sorry) that I’ve been MIA this week. Playing catch-up after being on vacay is a never-ending process. When I haven’t been working or sleeping, I’ve been spending every single extra second with Kyle. Absence does make the heart grow fonder, FYI. I also stopped taking photos of my food for a while because my camera couldn’t keep up with my appetite. I’ve been doing quite a number on the fridge/pantry (it’s as if I arrived home from Europe and immediately felt the need to ravage our kitchen and make up… Read more >

There are one million reasons my mom deserves a party. The most obvious one is that today is her birthday, but the most important one is that she deserves it. She had the grueling task of raising three kids who didn’t say no to a single activity. I love you mom. I will never be able to thank you enough for the years that you devoted to raising us. Beyond being my girl scout leader, class volunteer, and team mom; the hours you clocked as my personal chauffer, paper editor, lunch packer, and cheerleader are… Read more >

My flight(s) home were a disaster, but I’m here now! 🙂 I’ve actually been back for a couple of days, but I’m still trying to readjust to the time change. I was sad to leave vacation mode, but if I’m being perfectly honest, I was very ready to return home. I plan on doing more detailed posts (most likely in flashback fashion) about my trip and being vegan while traveling through Spain and France, but for now, I’m going to soak up everything I missed while I was away. Shockingly (or not shockingly, depending on… Read more >

The art of packing food is my specialty. Much like making my daily work eats (tutorials here), packing food for traveling is a bit of a craft. Some may find it easier to buy meals at the airport rather than go through the hassle of taking extra baggage through security. Personally, I’m not one of those people. I don’t care if it adds 25 pounds of dead weight that I have to schlep by plane, train, and automobile, for me it’s SO worth the energy. The cost to benefit analysis probably differs depending on your… Read more >
