Gotta love date night! Or in the case of this weekend, date day! Tyler has planned some really thoughtful dates recently, like our getaway tiny house cabin weekend, and I’ve been doing weight watchers so I was trying to think of something less food-centric, so we went to see a show at the Kennedy Center: How to Succeed in Business Without Even Trying. It was entertaining, an all-too-relatable musical about climbing the corporate ladder. Still it left me wanting much more in the way of strong or even useful female characters and the lack of consequence in the whole thing…

A beautiful homemade pizza topped with salty prosciutto, soft and melty burrata, and a crisp arugula. Highly recommend my homemade rosemary red pepper pizza crust, but I promise this pizza is good on any dough!

Spice up your weeknight pizza by making your own green pizza! Thin crust pizza with a pesto sauce topped with broccoli, artichokes, and feta for a healthy but delicious green pizza! – – I’m a huge fan of pizza! Melty cheese on carbs? I was sold at cheese! Now throw some healthy and tasty veggies and some of that good ‘ol cheese and you’ve got yourself a pretty tasty meal! It does take some work, but I think it is really worth it in the end. This pizza is light and flavorful and even has veggies so I feel half…

Here I am in the great Midwest, writing from St. Louis, MO! This is a much needed trip, just to get away from the crazies in my life right now. Wedding planning, house hunting, house buying, and still trying to go to work and live a normal life besides. So it’s nice to get away for a few days. We’ve only been here one full day so far, but we’ve packed it in! We started off the day wandering around Forest Park, while my parents were attending to some logistical stuff, and my sister and I found some pretty…

Potomac Point Winery is down south of NoVA, rather than west like a lot of other wineries we frequent. We were actually looking at it as a possible wedding venue, though jury’s out if it’ll make the cut! It’s a gorgeous property, and not too bad to find. We’ll kick off the review with brunch: the food was delicious! Tyler and I were both starving after our wedding venue tour, so that probably added a few points in their favor. But the food we had was delicious! I went with a grilled chicken, pesto, and sweet pepper flatbread. It was…

Here’s another brunch spot for you to try out: Piola! The one we go to is the location in Arlington (an easy walk from the Rosslyn metro stop, FYI). I’ve heard that there’s one in D.C. but have yet to try that location. The only difference I’ve heard about is that the one in D.C. is bottomless brunch where as the Arlington location, because of VA liquor laws cannot technically do “bottomless”. But Piola, and a lot of other restaurants, get around this by allowing you to add endless drinks from a select menu for $1 ea. Which in some cases I actually…

I just got back from Chicago and wanted to share all the culinary highlights! It was a great trip, although my face was having none of the back of forth of humid weather and super dry AC. But other than that it was a good trip! Packed full, but not too full of you know what I mean, so that you actually get to enjoy relaxing away from work for a little while. Sometimes I feel like all my vacations nowadays just revolve around food. Just fill in the spaces to get to the next meal. Not that I’m complaining,…

This recipe is exactly what it sounds like! Pizza dip (though I will say, a little bit more of a white pizza), surrounded by soft and chewy garlic knots! Definitely turn up the garlic on those garlic knots too. Sometimes if I’m feeling extra-garlicky I will add a few pinches of garlic powder and a few pinches of onion powder to the butter mix. My only concern about this recipe is that it’s not quite enough to share with a large party of people. I wanted to make it for a hangout we’re doing this weekend with around 20 people, but with only…

Just look at these pictures! Tell me that’s not making you want some pizza. This is the perfect recipe to use up some of that leftover pulled pork from the previous recipe I posted. And it’s pretty delicious, if I do say so myself. Now I definitely recommend a pre-made dough, whether that be from a box, or just the frozen or refrigerated dough from the grocery. You can always make your own, but it does make the whole process a lot easier. So here’s the assembly process! Roll out the pizza dough and pre-bake for a few minutes. First goes on…
