A few years back, my grandma asked me to go out to dinner with her and a few other members of our family. I remember her telling me about this amazing Italian restaurant called il Giallo Osteria & Bar. We visited, ate our weight in fresh pasta, and I left in a (very) happy food coma. I told myself that I needed to go back to eat more, but time got away from me and I just never got around to it...until now. Located in Sandy Springs, Georgia, il Giallo Osteria & Bar is known for their ...
The Ultimate Guide on The Best Places to Visit In Italy
I love Italy. It's probably the most romantic place I have been and also the best place EVER for food, history, and relaxation. We made a trip the summer before last and I have been aching to go back ever since. Seriously though - Europe is on our minds and I think we are going to plan another European trip in April (woohoo!). Because I am missing it so much, I wanted to write this post on the best places to visit in Italy. If you go to these places, you will seriously have the time of your life ...
How To Feel Your Best Around The Holidays
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 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. Okay, well maybe pumpkins, falling leaves, and apple cider scream 'fall' more, but still - I love a good fall recipe! Ian and I have already been slaving away in the kitchen making pumpkin pie, apple pie, chili, fall paninis (recipe to come!), and of course, the best fall buddha bowl recipe. I love Buddha bowls because ...
Fall Is Finally Here | 6 Things I’m Excited About
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 ...
