I picked up this Aloe Vera Dessert drink at the Oriental Supermarket – the stuff is great! It is very sweet and light – with chunks of aloe plant in it. It is a little too sweet to drink the whole thing

Chocolate Souffle
I decided to try and make a souffle one night – and it really wasn\’t as hard as a friend of mine made it seem. Actually, it was pretty easy! I think the hard part is the presentation since it falls
Dux at the Peabody Hotel, Orlando
We didn\’t have dinner plans for my birthday, and at the last minute we decided to get dressed and go out. We called Dux over at the Peabody hotel on I drive and they were still open. There was a terrible
Blue Duck Tavern, Washington DC
After a day of exploring DC by foot, we got in the car and talked about where to eat. We didn\’t want to lose an hour and a half driving back to Annapolis to change into dress clothes, so we picked a
Potato Valley, Annapolis
Since I clearly love food and trying new food, I need to start a food blog!
We found a place in Annapolis called Potato Valley and they have the BEST baked potatoes! Look at these things! It is like
Two Buck Chuck
I\’d heard about this “two buck chuck” wine from Trader Joe\’s but since we didn\’t have one in Florida I\’ve never seen it or tried it. We went to Trader Joe\’s while in DC and bought the Trader Joe\’s
Philly Cheesesteaks in Philadelphia
As we headed out of Philly, we realized we had not eaten a cheesesteak! So we stopped and got one for breakfast. I\’m glad we tried it, but it really isn\’t all that. I don\’t know what the big hoopla
Cafe Ole, Philadelphia
As we headed out on the town to tour Philadelphia, we stopped at a local place called Cafe Ole. Since it was a weekday, people were mainly ordering pre-made stuff from the counter and coffee. But we
Matyson, Philadelphia
Since we were going to DC, we decided to drive up to see some friends in Philly for a day. I did some research on restaurants and one that came up as being great was Matyson. It offered a tasting menu
I love food!
We were working on our taxes and I had a whole envelope full of WPPI Vegas receipts. I started to read them out loud to Chris and I realized I LOVE food! I would read “Okada – oh man do you remember
Easy Buttercream Icing
I made a cake on Friday – I was looking for a fun project and I decided a mini-wedding cake would be fun. I say mini. But it was still really big. It was 2 layers, a 6 inch and an 8 inch. I wanted
The best Bento box ever
I was searching on Flickr and came across this Bento Box a girl in Toronto made – it is over the top!

Plain yogurt
I love plain yogurt! But it seems like everyone around me likes the fruity sugary kind. They don\’t sell plain vegan yogurt at Publix so I have to buy it at Whole Foods. My new favorite is Wildwood
Roy’s, take two
It is awesome that we live so close to “restaurant row” on Sand Lake Road. We have tons of restaurants to choose from if we go out – Timpano, Samba Room, Season\’s 52, Cedar\’s, Roy\’s, Bonefish, Amura,
The Perfect S’more
Chris and I were at Publix the other night and we were picking up a few things including firewood so we could sit out back with our new fire pit that Chris\’ parents bought us for Christmas. As Chris
My Birthday Cake
I ordered my birthday cake today! I am really excited about it – it isn\’t your usual cake. I ordered it from BabyCakes in New York City and it is going to be gluten free and vegan! I decided on vanilla
Metromint water
I was at Whole Foods and I spotted this mint flavored water called Metromint. Being a mint freak, I had to try it. It is actually really good! Just a light hint of mint taste to it.
Here is what
Solid Gold – Barking at the Moon
We like to try new dog foods and the boys have always liked Solid Gold. We bought a new kind they had and then we noticed it was gluten free! How funny that they are making people food AND dog food without
Sake – Dreamy Clouds
We were at Okada in March and we did two flights of Sake. Of the six we tried, we have only been able to find two of them locally. One was Takasago “Divine Droplets” and we are saving that for something
Santa Monica, CA
Since I couldn\’t be on vacation the whole time I was in LA, I at least found a lovely spot to work. Since I\’ve been dragging my feet on buying a WiFi card, I had to find an Apple store to hang out near.
