Anniversary Weekend Part 3: Aquavina

After leaving Press we had no idea where we wanted to eat dinner. Kudos to us for our primo planning. After walking around Charlotte’s uptown for what seemed like a long time we finally decided to have dinner at Aquavina. We were really surprised by how dead it was. Yes, it was 9 PM and…

Anniversary Weekend Part 2: Press

Back to the anniversary weekend recap. Once B and I checked into the Westin we chilled out for a few and the got our mini food tour of Charlotte anniversary festivities started. After we got settled, aka spread our crap all over the room, we se tout for Press. Quite a few of my friends…

Check Me Out

In case you read my blog in a reader I wanted to let you know that I have changed my design. I am so excited about the new look that I want everybody to check it out!!! This design is thanks to Splendid Sparrow. I think her work is amazing and she was so helpful…

Anniversary Weekend Part 1: The Westin

As you may have seen, August 30th was me and B’s 2nd anniversary. Since we have some big travel plans for the fall, hell0 San Francisco, we decided it was best to keep our celebrations local. So we went on Priceline and bid for a 4 star hotel here in Charlotte with plans to spend…

Spaghetti O’s

I have a confession. I am 26 years old, almost 27 (in 3 weeks), and I love spaghetti O’s. Honestly I like ABC’s and 123’S with meatballs the best but that’s not any better. I stumbled upon a spaghetti O’s substitute by accident the other day with a random lunch creations. This is what happens…

Canned salmon

Thanks to my Mom I have a bulk package of canned salmon sitting in my pantry. She pointed it out on a recent trip to Costco and I couldn’t resist it as an option for my lunches. My favorite use for canned salmon is a quick and easy salmon patty made with salmon, an egg,…

All about the spicy mustard

Recently I got one of the strangest cravings. I wanted spicy mustard, ya know, the kind you eat on egg rolls. My craving wasn’t for Chinese food or egg rolls it was for spicy mustard. Isn’t it weird to crave condiments? Once lunch time rolls around I went on a search for spicy mustard. Yes,…

Pizza Pizza

You ever have those nights when work has gotten the best of you and you just don’t feel like cooking? As much as I love baking as a stress reliever sometimes cooking dinner is the last thing I want to do when I get home from work. On nights when cooking is far from a…

Clay pancakes

I know. Clay pancakes? You will see. One night I was really, really hungry. I ate a full dinner but my stomach was growling again in no time. Along with the tummy growling I got the sudden, and very strong urge for pancakes. I am not sure what got into me with the intense hunger…

Liberty Brunch

So, I am a doofus. I have been to Liberty in South End several times for various reasons and was always confused why the menu was different. Apparently, their kitchen is run Top Chef style where the menu can change day-to-day based on available ingredients and the whims on the chef. Good to know in…
