Sooooo I finally figured out how to use Instagram Stories *insert enthusiastic yay here* anddddd kinda obsessed, and kinda not. its super distracting it’s really super distracting i don’t get anything done because its incredibly distracting did i mention it is distracting? Also it makes me not having a life more publicly known and definitely […]

I first would like to point out how i’m basically an oxymoron writing this post. Currently stuffing my face with cheddar, honey mustard & bacon toast on a buttery brioche bun (if you follow me on snapchat you will have gotten a little sneaky peak of what this goodness actually looked like) while attempting to […]

Pinch me, please. Okay, that’s enough cyber pinching. But yes, I still am dreaming about this event I was invited to be apart of by Alive Magazine for a dinner on the orchard at Eckerts Farm in Illinois and I still can’t get over the beauty, mood and the food from that evening.

Since temperatures outside are mostly tolerable these days (of course when dressed appropriately) I’ve decided to dust off the ol’ grill top and start smoking mah meat. Well, not all of my meat, but this particular hunk of hog (pork butt).  Plus, I don’t know about you, but I am quite the fan of hair smelling […]
