Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to volunteer with one of the contestants of the “Next Food Network Star” with the Junior League of Washington’s Kids in the Kitchen event! My ovaries were working overtime with all of the images of cute kids in their aprons and chef hats getting psyched to learn about my [...]
I can’t believe I am writing this entry but I feel like God has given me a bunch of signs that I need to start eating clean and start taking care of my health. – The #1 factor is the untimely death of my dog Lewy from advanced cardiovascular disease. Lewy was only seven (59 [...]
[1] Kat, Jessica, Sarah and I had brunch at the cutest European cafe Kafe Leopold [2] Besides marrying Rob, the one wedding thing I am most excited about is crafting! Kat, Jessica and I attended the Wedding Workshop at Paper Source and learned how to heat emboss envelopes, place cards, and treat boxes. [3] Mountainside [...]
Rob and I had so much fun at the DC Social Media Week event at Barcode sponsored by Rosetta Stone. At the event, attendees participated in a live tweet off to vote on which countries they wanted to “visit”. In a two hour span I was able to eat food, drink libations, and listen to [...]
For Valentine’s Day, Rob and I had a heart shaped pizza at our favorite pizzeria — Famous Luigi’s. The restaurant’s claim to fame is that they are the oldest restaurant in the city.

See below for my recap: A sold-out crowd of humans and their canine companions gathered at the Ronald Reagan Trade Center last Wednesday to attend the 11th annual Sugar and Champagne event benefitting the Washington Humane [...]
I love Super Bowl food! I even have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to small, bite sized, crowd-pleasing snacks. This year we went to our friend Carlo’s house to celebrate this all-American holiday so we decided to go with something simple and easy portable — pretzel bites and queso. I usually do most of the [...]
The last time I was quoted in the newspaper, I was being interviewed by the Centre View (Centreville’s finest publication) for being a part of a test group of kids who were trying out new healthy lunch options for Fairfax County Public Schools. Remember those awesome teriyaki chicken nugget lunches? You can thank me for [...]
As I mentioned earlier, I am temporarily working at my company’s DC branch while they are rebuilding my office. The first thing on my “To-Do” list of being an urban worker was to eat lunch at a food truck like all of the fun, hip city people do on television. Thanks to some Twitter research, [...]
Feeling a bit saucy, Rob and I decided to go to a salsa bar for our random Thursday night date. From the mild tomatillo to the hot-and-spicy chiltomate, these condiments did not disappoint! To cool ourselves from the muy caliente salsa, we helped ourselves to their open bar featuring old-fashioned cane sugar soda from Boylans. [...]
