Honeymoon
Josh and I had a fabulous time enjoying the Russian River Valley in Sonoma! This is a pretty good map of our area. We technically stayed in Sebastopol, but we were closer to downtown Occidental. As one winery worker put it, all the times are 2 block towns, so small and easy to get around. We drove straight from the San Francisco airport to Whole ( Read more... ) -
New England June 13-16
from Providece, RI to York Beach, ME to Chatham, MA.
Thanks to Josh, my knowledgeable and fun tour guide, for showing me all around a part of the country I have never explored much! I've been to Boston several times, but that's about it. And Darien, CT, where Josh's aunt and uncle live. So, this weekend, we used the wedding of Molly and Andy as an ( Read more... ) -
Michigan (Trip was May 25-28)
So I'm a huge blogger slacker. Though I have a great excuse, because we got engaged at the end of March! To say that I've been a bit distracted is an understatement. :) So I'd like to just document our last two little trips, both for weddings of Josh's friends.
For Memorial Day weekend, we were celebrating Roger and Lindsey. Roger is part of the ( Read more... ) -
Las Vegas!
We returned early this morning (around 1 AM) from my first trip to Vegas, and Josh's 2nd! He last visited 10 years ago, and clearly a lot has changed. Our flight was about 4 hours, and we arrived a little early to the Las Vegas airport... we got our token photo at the Las Vegas sign, and our cab ride was about 15-20 minutes to our hotel, THEhotel ( Read more... ) -

Fall Feast!
Last night, Jennie and CT came over for our annual fall feast!! We planned the menu last week and everything came together pretty easily (very much helped by the fact that I had all day off, so I could make a cake, biscuits, and prep all the veggies. :)
Jennie made pork tenderloin stuffed with brie, sage, and walnuts. It was so delicious!! I roasted ( Read more... ) -

I'll start off by saying I LOVE flying direct. It is ridiculously easy for us to go from Nashville to NYC! We are arrived at LGA around 11 Saturday(about 30 minutes early :) and Peter (Josh's uncle) picked us up at the airport. I love flying into La Guardia and feeling like you're landing the water. The runway is so short! Anyway, we drove home to ( Read more... ) -
Southwest Sweet Potatoes
So today I got thrifty, and decided to use up all my veggies! I had sweet potatoes, some sad bell peppers, and a jalapeno. So I sauteed my onion, garlic, jalapeno, and peppers for a few minutes. I added some salsa for tomato flavor and for some liquid to finish cooking the peppers. Then, I added my peeled, cubed, blanched sweet potatoes (2 ( Read more... ) -
Bartender Bash Breakdown :)
Such a fun event! It was at the gorgeous Union Station hotel, and it was packed. I felt rather underdressed but still fit in as a food nerd. :) Here's the menu of all the drinks ( Read more... ) -
