Le sigh. This semester has been a mess and as I’ve been delving into academic articles and homework, I watched as my lovely blog withered from lack of attention. But it’s not that I’ve forgotten about my blog and have been neglecting it on purpose. My camera is chock full of food photos (that I still have to edit) but the problem is finding time to write. However, I’m finally setting some time aside to write because if I let this blog shrivel up and waste away on the interw

This has been quite a long week, but it was a good one since I celebrated my 26th birthday! Though getting older isn’t as exciting as it used to be when we’re younger, I’m still looking forward to another of adventures, particularly of the food variety. I want to be more adventurous with the food I cook at home and also the restaurants I go to. I’m considering this a New Year’s resolution and birthday revelation extravaganza. I want to try as many new recipes as I can—now

When I look back at how I drank in college my liver hurts. I’m no longer the spry 21-year old who could do a bunch of shots and wake up the next morning feeling completely fine. Now I have maybe two or three glasses of wine and I hurt the next day with a pounding headache. So what are the best ways to cure a hangover? Food! Well food and maybe a couple of Advil, but food is a great way to make that hangover go away. And today I’m in need of a hangover cure. I would go out to

New York City is home—the city that never sleeps with so much to offer. It’s hard to be bored when you’re in NYC. If you are one of those people who find NYC boring, we need to talk. With all the museums and food options you have it sometimes becomes crippling to choose what to do. Lucky for me I had 4 days home to explore the greatness that is arguably the best city in the world.​ ​ New York Philharmonic To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Star Wars, the New York Philharmon

You know what I find odd? When I chat with people at work, someone (including myself) remarks that we are “one day closer to the weekend.” And it dawned on me—have our work lives become so unfulfilling that we just can’t wait to get out of the office even if for just two days? A bit sad, to be honest, but understandable. Everybody really is just working for the weekend. That aside, we finally made it to the next weekend and I have a tasty brunch review for you all. Today I’m

It’s Friday Eve, people. We’re in the final stretch of the week and the weekend is so close, I can almost touch it. I don’t know about you, but this week has been unbelievably long. I guess that’s what happens when you have a short week before—it kinda throws your entire clock off. I wish I had my long weekend back. Two days just seems too short for a weekend. I find myself reminiscing about my Labor Day weekend during the day—apple picking, an extra day of sleeping in, and b

Eastern Market is my favorite place to stroll around in Washington, DC. Just give me a sunny Saturday and a crisp fall breeze; I could spend hours here. The houses alone are stunning; some of them remind me of dollhouses. Some are painted in vivid colors like pink or purple; some are rustic brick homes, and many houses have lovely front gardens with flowers and foliage in bloom. This neighborhood is something out of a movie. The residential part of Eastern Market is lovely an

Being a millennial, I think I’m required to love brunch, but please correct me if I’m wrong. Well, even if it isn’t a requirement, I love brunch for the following reasons: Time - It’s late enough in the day to where I get actually hungry. When I wake up on weekends, I’m not hungry until 11am-ish, which is the perfect brunch time. Variety - It’s not strictly breakfast food. I love eggs, toast, and bacon, but I like having the option of maybe a burger or sandwich, or a steak if
