This weekend was such a blast. An anniversary celebration and a trip to the lake all in one! Since Friday was our seven year, Matt and I celebrated with a big bottle of Kasteel Rouge after work. This is the sweet cherry coke beer we discovered in Atlanta. It’s more like drinking a pink champagne than a beer, but it’s soo good! Then we got dressed up and walked to Revolution for dinner. This was our fourth time – we…

I’m home after meeting the amazin Mazen and visiting his mom and dad in Charlottesville! Matt, my mom, and I drove up on Friday evening. We ate sandwiches in the car, but of course we brought a cake from our favorite Durham bakery to celebrate Mazen’s birthday! I think it got a little beat up on the car ride, but it still tasted fabulous. Matt is actually better with newborns than I am…he’s so calm and patient:) On Saturday, we…
A very happy birthday to Mazen, who was born early this AM! He’s such a cute bundle, and I look at him and can’t believe he’s my relative! A birthday today was meant to be because when I was driving home from work I saw that the brand new Cupcake Bar in Durham was open. Matt and I set out on a jog with $5 in my shoe and a plan to end our run with cake. We celebrated Mazen’s…
EVERYTHING in Denver was delicious, thanks to recommendations from readers and friends. To those of you who recommended Snooze and Tag: I love you.

Blackened fish & celery root remoulade sandwich and root beer braised beef short rib – from Lou’s Food Bar. Taco sushi (ahi tuna, sushi rice, guac, and…
Well, we’ve been eating for 4 days and I’ve got lots to share with you. A big draw for us to vacation in Colorado was all the beer! I enjoyed a summer wheat beer from Odell and an amber from the Alaskan Brewing Co., while enjoying great view of the cute Yampa River. Happy hours seem to be big here and you can easily get a pint for $2! We stayed in a studio room at the Trailhead Lodge, which…
The summer is sizzlin’ down, so Matt’s company had an end-of-year celebration for the interns. Only most people were out of town, so a few of us had to eat all the food!! The dinner was hosted by the Horseradish Grill in Buckhead, where every single thing I tasted was fabulous. Appetizers were fried green tomatoes with pecans, goat cheese, and remoulade as well as NC style pulled pork on a cornmeal pancake with slaw and bbq sauce. Knowing that…
Guys, my weekend was absolutely packed!! Matt and I are trying to explore as much as possible, as we only have 3 free weekends left in Atlanta (we’re traveling a lot in July for various events). I’m exhausted, but so so content:) I’m gonna give you the quick version of the weekend recap: Prickly pear margaritas and seafood paella at La Fonda Hiking to the top of Stone Mountain Tastes of beer at the Tap in Midtown Delicious shrimp, fish,…
We ended our beach trip with one last champagne celebration and our tradition of beach donuts on Tuesday morning! And now I’m back and home, finishing up my second-to-last week of work and frantically packing for our ten-week trip to Atlanta (I’m driving Matt down Friday and then returning to finish the school year). Between our trip to Boston, our engagement, the family beach trip, the end of the school year, packing and moving to Atlanta, trying to figure out…
Whew. These past few days have been go-go-go. Yesterday, we drove to Winston Salem to celebrate Matt’s little sister’s graduation from Wake Forest. Seeing all the students in adorable sun dresses sure made me want to be a college student and got me excited for the summer season. Congrats to the lovely graduate, Chelsea! Lucky for me, I also got to see one of my college friends graduate from law school. Congrats to Katie too:) After the ceremony, we all…
