Happy December friends! Hope the holiday season is off to a wonderful start for you all.
It's been quite awhile since my last post - life has been incredibly busy! Ricky and I spent about 2 weeks in Australia in early November where we ate amazing food in Sydney, explor...

I succumb to “click-bait” SO easily. One of my favorite guilty pleasures is to peruse the front page of www.dailymail.co.uk (feel free to hardcore judge me here, I already judge myself…). Honestly, it’s just so entertaining to see the headlines that these online public...

Whoa! An entire month without a recipe or blog post? I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that, really, I cannot believe I let a month slip by without sharing a new recipe.

Guys. Guess what? I'm finally one week away from completing an 8 week health and wellness challenge (Whole Life Challenge)! It's been a whirlwind, and I haven't been perfect (read: deep dish pizza in Chicago), but it's definitely been worth it. I've noticed a lot of ch...

A few months back I complained about the weather while sharing with you a cooling and delicious recipe for popsicles. It was February and 85° and I was pissed. I wasn't ready to trade in my oversized sweaters for bathing suits and sundresses. Now, here we are, after se...
