Happy New Year! We made it! Through all of 2018, through the holidays, through the ups and the downs and the in-betweens of last year. We did it. I’m so proud of us.

The first of the year is a time to look back and reflect on the last year. It’s a time to think about our successes, as well as our failures; to find ways to continue our success, and find ways to work through our failures. But most importantly, it’s a time to look forward. As cliché as it sounds, the new year really is clean slate. It’s fresh. It’s the good things we bring along with us and the not-so-great things we leave behind. The New Year is full of dreams, goals and opportunities. (more…)

Food is a universal language. I’ve realized through my blogging journey that so many countries within close proximity have similar foods. Most notably, Mediterranean food has so many similarities. Take, for example grape leaves. Everyone seems to have a version of grape leaves (each by a different name) The Greeks, the Turks, and the Arabs each make their own version of stuffed grape leaves with rice and meat, or vegetables. Sometimes they’re served cold and other times hot. Despite language differences, we can agree that grape leaves, in whatever shape or form, are delicious. We don’t even need to speak the same language. Food is a universal language. (more…)

If you’re interested in seeing what I’m up to, follow along on my Instagram story. I’m always sharing photos and videos of my goodies. Currently, I’m waiting my Pink Pickled Turnips to set. Only about a week and a half or so left before they’re ready to be devoured. (more…)

I love planning things. I almost think that in another life, I should have become an event planner. The only downside is that I don’t like to deal with rude people, and you never know what kind of clients you’ll get. I’m obsessed with planning anything and everything from my outfits, to dinner parties, to weekend trips, to big vacations and beyond. I’m a little biased, but I think I have some pretty good ideas.

Writer’s block. You’d think being a Communications Specialist would mean that words come easy to me all the time. Yes, I can express myself so much better through writing—because there’s that added benefit of proofing and editing your work—But some days I hit a serious writer’s block. It’s the worst. Namely when I’m trying to post my latest and greatest new recipe and nothing comes to mind. Nothing. (more…)
