Hello! I’m sorry that it’s been a while. I’m sure you saw that the blog disappeared – I have no idea how I got hacked, but it was not pretty. Almost every file was corrupt, and after hiring one company that couldn’t fix it, I had to spend a small fortune to have the site cleaned from head to toe. Is there seriously someone who sits around and gets pleasure out of this kind of thing? Anyway, it was way…

Hello! We had a fabulous weekend over here! My parents stopped in Dallas for a quick visit on their way back from Cabo. Matt, unfortunately, got stuck working in New York on Thursday and Friday, so it was nice to have some company. Thursday night, we strolled to the local pub and then I made an easy dinner with WF thai shrimp burgers. On Friday, my mom and I enjoyed our favorite pastime – the mall:) Emerson got a bunch…
It was a lovely weekend with some seriously delicious eats. My cold took over my life for quite a long time, and it just felt amazing to feel back to normal this weekend. Friday night, we stopped by to see friends as they put their kids to bed. We had a quick drink, and then left them to enjoy their peace and quiet. On the way home, I stumbled upon some sweet potato gnocchi at Whole Foods – I made…
How’s it going out there? I’m back in the swing of things over here. The initial craziness of work has died down as the kids get into a routine with their teachers. I know I need to appreciate a few relatively quiet weeks before teachers start sending referrals my way. I’m slowly getting back into waking up early to go to the gym. Matt has gone with me a few mornings, and it makes it one million times easier to…
It’s the eve of a long weekend! I just went to a lovely yoga class, and now I’m relaxed and ready for Friday. Other than a dinner reservation, we don’t have much on the agenda. You? I owe yall a blog post from last weekend – Starting with Friday evening, Matt and I walked to our neighborhood bar for a dark n’ stormy. It’s been very dark and stormy for weeks here, so it was nice to get a moment…
I tried a new Mexican restaurant! There are endless options in Dallas, but I love that they are all a little different. El Bolero has a relaxed atmosphere with clean, modern decor. The place was packed, so Matt and I grabbed signature margaritas made with cilantro and lime. Sadly, the margs were really weak and nothing to write home about. Matt later ordered a blackberry, jalapeño, and tequila punch that was awesome though. I settled on a Chilean red with…
I had the pleasure of traveling to Charleston this weekend for my winter break! Matt and I met our good friends from Boston for a short getaway. While we picked Charleston because we thought it’d be warmish (soo cold for the south), we really wanted to go there to eat! Our friends love food as much as we do, so we did a lot of sharing! After lovely drinks on a heated roof deck called Stars, we headed to FIG…
I’ve lived in Dallas long enough now that I’m starting to repeat some of my favorite restaurants from my first year. Yet there are soo many new ones to try! Last weekend, I did a little of both. Matt and I stopped into the hip, new Remedy while we waited for a table across the street. The interior space was bright and clean, with the feel of upscale soda shop. We each ordered a cocktail, and then we couldn’t resist…
