best I ever had.

We’ve all had those meals that left us thinking daaaaaang that was good. Or, I could eat that every day for the rest of my life be perfectly content.

Even some of the greatest chefs have experienced this - you know, like the show The Best Thing I Ever Ate.

Girl, I feel you.

While I’ve definitely had some [...]

Over the past five years, I’ve lived in about seven different places.
For the first four months of this year, I was commuting in and out of the city just about every day.
Last weekend I trekked down to Baltimore.
And then this weekend, I’m making two trips (long story) back to Pennsylvania for [...]

on unplugging.

Friends! Loved ones! I skipped out on you for a bit, didn’t I? Sorry I’m not sorry…but we’ll chat about that more in a bit. For now, here’s a little photo recap of life lately.

(Yes, that’s Meg!)

(^recipe on my guest post for Gabriela!^)

So, those may just seem like regular old photos to [...]

a new twist on pizza.

Growing up, one of my favorite meals was something called…

I considered Pita Pizza to be thee ultimate treat of a meal. I actually thought that everyone ate it…kind of like how I thought everyone else called noodles “noonies.” Ahem.

Funny thing is, my mom recently told me that the real reason she came up with the [...]

go bold or go home.

You may have noticed that black is my clothing color of choice.

But, believe it or not, there are times that I throw some color into my life. And when I do, I prefer to go bold, or go home.

Pastels and light-colored clothing can be great. But - nearly obnoxious bold & bright colors are not only [...]

fb part 4: now that was fun.

Hello, loves! Let’s see…where did we leave off…?

After the sessions yesterday a group of us headed to Talara for drinks and appetizers. Talara is a Latin bar & restaurant that specializes in raw small plates, but they still had other cooked menu options as well. I was tempted to try their supposedly famous Seviche, but I [...]

fb part 3: straight chillin’.

Bonjour, mes amis!

Clearly I’ve been hanging out with this one a lot

One of the reasons I’m loving FitBloggin’ is that it’s made for a very chill weekend. Heck, even the train ride here was the most relaxation I’ve gotten in weeks! Don’t get me wrong – I love my NYC – but it’s been [...]

fb part 2: a morning in baltimore.

Baltimore was beautiful this morning.

Roombud Gabriela and I woke up bright and early at 6am to take a leisurely walk along the harbor. How we had so much energy this morning is beyond me

After almost a full week of rain in NYC, I soaked in every ounce of the gorgeous, sunny weather.

Gabs and I [...]

fitbloggin’ conference, part 1.

One “green” peanut butter protein bar that tasted way too much like spinach: $3.

My reaction after still eating the entire thing: not attractive.

One ticket to attend the second annual FitBloggin’ conference: about $100.

One huge bag full of swag-attack: free!

Shrimp and lump crabmeat cocktail from Mo’s Seafood: $14.99. And eating the shrimp and crab atop a baked [...]

all is full of love.

This past week has been like one big love fest.

First there was prancing around town with my favorite ladies on Sunday.

Then there was my hot date with some takeout and reality TV on Monday.

On Tuesday, my boo Erica arrived for a brief but much-needed visit. Ain’t no rain keepin’ us from a good time.

Then on [...]

oh, hi!

best I ever had.
