Being home this past week in Oregon has been absolutely lovely. Between spending lots of time with my newly retired parents, catching up on my own wedding planning, and taking part in fun wedding activities with my beautiful friend Jade (she got married yesterday!),...

Last weekend I hosted a dinner party for some friends at my new abode as a part of McCormick’s Dinner Party Chain. McCormick, the wonderful company most of my spice cabinet comes from, is giving away the chance to host your dream dinner party...

I’m hosting a big dinner party this weekend as a part of the McCormick Dinner Party Chain, and have been prepping my apartment non-stop all week. I know it seems kind of ridiculous that I am still unpacking after a month and a half,...

I am going home in about two weeks to visit my family and friends for the first time since Christmas, and just thinking about it made me start craving my parents’ home cooked Greek food again. I’ve already put in a  Pastichio request to...

The weather has been really nice these past few days, warm in the upper 70’s with a cool breeze, very spring-y. For some reason when the weather starts to turn warm again I always find myself craving berries, and I’d been wanting to make...

Right now Jeremy and I are at the Palm Desert Food & Wine Festival taking in the amazing desert scenery and the delicious food, (and wine too of course!) On top of the fun of the festival, which I’ll talk more about next week,...

It is that time of year again, the one where we finally get to bust out our barbeques after (ideally) keeping them tucked out of water damage’s way over the winter. Huzzah! I will be the first to admit, I’m not very experienced with...

A little over a week ago Jeremy was out of town for work and I was left with the apartment all to myself. What is a young lady to do under these circumstances, you ask? Why, throw a Downton Abby-themed view-a-thon for herself and...
