Every year, right around Halloween, I know that it's the inevitable time of the year where I start gaining weight. It starts with the Halloween candy then leads into Thanksgiving with all the pie and carb-filled dishes. By the time Thanksgiving is over, it's cold and I just want to eat comfort food all the way through (and most of the time, past) Christmas and New Years. Time to pull out the sweatpants and baggy T-shirts, right? Wrong. This year, I am committed to not feeling sluggish and not ...
The Best California Wine Clubs
This past April, Ian and I spent time in Calistoga (Sonoma County, San Francisco, and Carmel by-the-Sea, as well) and we had the time of our lives. We already knew a bit about wine, but we learned so, so much while we were in California wine country and had a lot of fun doing so. We joined a few wine clubs while we were there and since we have been back in Atlanta, we have received about 1-2 shipments (or more) from each club, so I wanted to give you all some of the details on what I think are ...
The Best Fall Buddha Bowl Recipe
Fall is here - yippee! We are just days away from Halloween and the weather is trending cooler (which I love). To me, there is nothing that screams fall more than fall recipes.

I love Buddha bowls because ...

Fall is finally here!! We are gearing up for the best months to come and I could not be more excited! Of course, I love May because of my birthday (and the pollen starts to decrease, ha!), but I just love cold weather so much and I love the holidays even more. A few of you requested to see more "life posts" and "behind the scenes" from me, so I wanted to start it off with a post where I am just talking about random exciting fall (and winter) things. Here are a few things that I am excited ...
The Best Seafood in New Orleans at GW Fins
A few weeks ago, we visited New Orleans to celebrate Ian's birthday. This was my second time visiting the area, but Ian's first, so while he had to experience Bourbon Street, I also knew that I wanted to make it really special, so naturally, we had to try the best seafood in New Orleans. As always, I did my research by searching Instagram, blogs, TripAdvisor, Facebook, etc. and I found that everyone said the same thing: GW Fins has the best seafood in New Orleans. So, we made a reservation ...
Atlanta Dining Guide: Best Restaurants For Business Dining
Over the past couple of years, I have visited places such as Florence, New Orleans, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Sonoma County, and so many other places around the world and I have written many articles on the best places to eat in those cities. As I was reminiscing on my culinary adventures, I realized that I have never written a full dining guide on my home, the peach state, and I decided that I needed to change that. In this Atlanta Dining Guide, we will focus on the best restaurants in Atlanta ...
