Recently, I staycationed in Charlotte’s SouthPark neighborhood with my friend’s German Shepard, Petra. I took advantage of my temporary home near some of Charlotte’s best restaurants! I think part of the reason I struggled with writing for a while and ultimately took a blogging hiatus is that I felt writing full posts about one restaurant to be a …

Soak up the last bits of summer with basil pesto. This recipe is so easy to make with bright ingredients like fresh basil, toasted pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan-Reggiano and lemon juice. This post is an ode to our basil plant that we’ve managed to keep alive all summer long. I come from a …
As a self-proclaimed carbohydrate queen, I’ve told you about the trials and tribulations of attempted Paleo diets before. I love a toasted bagel with lox and cream cheese, a big slice of pizza, and have been known to demolish a whole baguette in one sitting (with a variety of cheeses of course). So while it …

I’m currently suffering from writer’s block. The struggle is real. I’m not sure what’s triggered my funky mood lately. Maybe it’s the weather. Maybe it’s because work has been busy and I’m drained when I’m stuck in court for 6 hours a day. Maybe it’s because I’ve been getting up at 5:30 am 4 days …
Ok Charlotte, I know we’re all in a little bit of a depressed funk because the Panthers didn’t win the Super Bowl, but the good news is we have cheddar biscuits from Sunflour Baking Company so that makes us winners in our hearts and in our stomachs. In honor of the Panthers’ tremendous season I thought …
Hi! So I inadvertently had a blog hiatus for practically the entire month of January. Which was essentially the opposite of what I wanted to do (a 2016 goal was to get on a more regular blog schedule). Woops. Well, I’m still here and even if it means taking a little bit of time to settle in …
