Palm Springs

So the world has totally turned upside down since the last time I wrote. This blog will continue to be my happy place as we navigate through these crazy times, so I don’t want to dwell on anything negative here, except to mention the following.

Bite Me

In some ways, it feels like just yesterday that Lydia and I were frolicking through Manhattan at Christmastime. It’s actually been five years though, which means it was time for us to go back! Based on recommendations from my friend Nicole, a running list on my Notes app, and inspiration from Deb‘s Instagram stories, these […]

Brentwood Country Mart

The last time I went to LA it was 2005. Food blogs didn’t exist, and I didn’t even have a digital camera. I don’t really remember much about what Kristine and I ate on that trip, with the exception of multiple trips to Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf for Ice Blendeds. This time around, I […]

Drake on Cake

Way back in 2011, Joy the Baker and Tracy Shutterbean hosted a retreat in Palm Springs called Homefries U. It was named after their podcast that I listened to every week. This was before I had an iPhone, so when I say I listened to it, I mean I would drag my laptop to my […]

Chicago at Night

This past July, I confirmed something I’ve suspected was true for a long time: Chicago is the perfect place for a long weekend trip.

I flew down to Atlanta for the May long weekend to meet up with my friend Danielle, and support her dream of seeing her favourite musician perform in his hometown.

This post is WAY overdue, but I’ve recently had a few friends and co-workers ask me for New York bakery and restaurant recommendations, so it’s time to get this recap going! First a little background. My friend Lydia and I take a trip to New York City every five years. Our first trip was in […]
