Ok, I have a confession. I had big plans to share my second round of Charlotte favorite this week (you can read my first round of picks here), but life got in the way. Things like working, eating, sleeping, making deadlines (looking at you Charlotte Visitors’ Guide) and maybe a little TV watching (but mostly …

Pork carnitas are flavorful, versatile, and super easy. Put a few ingredients in your crockpot and come back six to eight hours later for tender meat that you can use in anything from tacos, to enchiladas, to nachos, to burrito bowls and more! I’m a member of the North Carolina Pork Council Blogging Network and …
Last week AJ took us on tour of Charlotte through beer (thanks AJ for telling us where we could grab some good food and cold brews). This week, Kaitlin has us traveling all over the world, without having to leave Mecklenburg County (albeit, a brief jump over the border to South Carolina to a must visit …
Here’s more collaborative dining guide action, this week with AJ’s picks and official blogging debut (while there may have been some bullying, no one was physically harmed in the making of this post. Once I explained that he could drink beer and write at the same time, the process was pretty painless and he just cranked …
Fall is knocking on our door. While everyone is all about pumpkin spice lattes, boots, apple picking and changing leaves, I am definitely soaking up the last few moments of summer (though I’m thrilled that pumpkin beer is back and may have started drinking it on the reg). With temperatures still in the 90s, I’m not ready for …
Almost three years ago, I moved to Charlotte. I didn’t really know anyone (aside from a few folks at work from my 10 week internship the summer before) and I didn’t really know anything (I told people when I accepted an internship at the Public Defender’s Office in the summer of 2011 I was moving …
The blog is back. Hi! How’ve you been? Life’s been busy, so I’ll catch you up really quick. Summer was spent running around the Mecklenburg County Courthouse a lot with an intern, ripping up all of the carpet in our townhouse and putting in new floors, spending 8 days in Colorado in nature, drinking beer, …
Hi, I’m Chrissie! (I’m on the left if you had issues figuring that out). I introduced myself to you two years ago when I wrote my first post on Off the Eaten Path. At the time, I was new to the Queen City, had lived in Plaza Midwood for less than six months, and needed …
(See what I did there. Changed the recipe series name from “supper” to “sipper.” Aren’t I clever?”) Who’s got the hooch, baby? Does anyone else remember Everything’s 1998 hit? I was 11 and in the 5th grade (or maybe 6th grade) and rocked out to that song on the daily. There’s a connection between this …
We’ve slammed the pedal to the metal in Charlotte and are speeding right into Spring (fingers crossed with no looking back). We started sleeping with the windows open and waking up to the sounds of birds chirping. We’ve enjoyed sunny afternoons spent sipping beer on patios under Carolina blue skies. Everything is in bloom and …
