Great news, ya’ll! Chef Jaime drank the super model Kool-Aid (which tastes a lot like vino)!! She’s on board with cheesy, carb-laden dishes, just like they teach you in super model school. Thank goodness – it was getting lonely over here, just me and Chrissy in the kitchen every weekend. Here’s the first leg of Chef…

The Super Model Projet: Pot Pie Soup
After the awful Margarita chicken experience, I am happy to report that Chrissy Teigan more than redeemed herself with her Pot Pie Soup with Crust Crackers. I am SO glad to know that this is how super models get their bodies, because I could eat this every single day and be very satisfied. Recipe at…
Restaurant Review: Gocciolina
Oh, Research Triangle restaurants. Few and far between end up wowing and Gocciolina in Durham was set up for just that. While I wish it would have delivered, I’m also grateful not to have a new favourite spot in the middle on a lonely strip mall in a part of Durham that I’ve never seen….
Little Loves: Foodie Edition
Tasty souvineers from travels near and far. Neighbors who bake you cookies when you’re sick. Mini Stroopwafelss just because they’re the size of a dollar coin. Oreo-mint martinis. Need I say more?
Hills of Jalisco
One more time for the people in the back – it was my third Mexican jaunt this fall and I was beginning to get nervous the airport folks would think I was a drug mule. Thankfully, Mexico let me back in the beautiful country. A 24 hour layover in Mexico to keep my airline status…If I…
S.O.P.A.
Palm Springs. Land of breath taking landscapes, gaggles of gay guys, and some fairly stuck of bachelorette parties. A lot of them. Very glad to check that off the bucket list, but not an experience that I need to quickly repeat. Well, unless it’s for a stay and a meal or two at the restaurant,…
Almond Butter Olympics
Great news! I’m eating all the almond butter so you don’t have to! These little Justin’s packets have been on massive sale lately so I bought them all as a trial for the $12.99 commitment that I’m considering for a full jar. The first specimen was… Justin’s Vanilla Almond Butter…. Taste: 10, OMG! Tongue is…
I’m Baaaaaackkkk
Hi guys! Was the hiatus long enough for you to miss me? I have so much to fill you in on… From the worst breakup of my life, to trips I never shared, and new recipe wins and losses vetted by Chrissy Tiegan herself. Also, I’ve made two moves! I cannot begin to describe how…
Bull City is Not BS
Last night via an exceptional Hotwire find on a dreadfully rainy Monday night, I was able to test drive the new 21c Museum hotel in Durham. Architectural Digest called it one of the best new hotels in the world this year. And let me just say, holy shit; this place is great. This was a true…
Talde & The Confidante, Miami
A few weeks ago I decided that I needed to take my high strung, anxious ass and spend some quality time with the girlfriends who I’ve been texting incessantly. Miami or bust! I was to stay with a friend last night, but a strange chain of events led me to seek shelter on the beach…
Cabo, Part Tres and a Night at Edith’s
Day three! On the final day, my bestie decides to make a Mexican appearance. For 24 hours. Yet, delays did what they do and she only was in Cabo for 18 hours. Crazy, crazy lady. While I missed my friend the last few days, I was in this great zen state- gorgeous destination, reading, writing,…
Cabo, Part Dos & an Evening at The Sunset da Mona Lisa
Hey, aren’t you curious as to what I did on the rest of my trip to Cabo? I forgot to tell you! It’s really exciting stuff! So the second day kind of sucked because of this arch was blocking my view.   Jokes. It kind of sucked becuase I had to work all moring, but at…
