more butoni ravioli

Frozen/prepackaged meals are usually not the most healthful dinner option available, however they are often very convenient and can be pretty tasty. Between working, working out, friends, blogging, and job hunting I am often wiped at the end of the day, especially if the time spent at the office was stressful. So B and I…

Anniversary Weekend Part….

We tried to be prepared on Saturday night. We really tried. We were all set up with reservations to Blue and then Mimosa Grill, but after a long day riding bike and a very sore hind end as a result I just wasn’t feeling it. Since we were both starving from all of the days…

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…

Pizza Pizza

RuSan’s

The days have really gotten away from me. Job hunting and adding yoga to my usual schedule had kind of infringed on my blogging time, that and the fact that I really haven’t wanted to look at a computer once I leave the office. Even though my schedule has gotten tight, and blogging has been…

Luna’s Living Kitchen

I always love to share meals with my blogger and foodies friends, because I usually get to try something new and interesting as well as make new friends. Last Wednesday was one of those fun occasions where I got to broaden my food, and friend,  horizons. On the menu for the evening was Luna’s Living…

Un-fried squash

Last week I decided to borrow some inspiration from Emily. My landlord dropped off a big bag of garden fresh goodies including squash, peppers, and tomatoes. Even though, growing up, I have never been a fan of fried squash I all of a sudden got the urge to make some. Except, I wanted them to…

Mushroom risotto

On Saturday night I was watching DVRed episode of The Next Food Network Star. Brad made a risotto and I couldn’t think of eating anything else! So I attempted to make my 2nd ever homemade risotto and I had to show it off! I didn’t follow any particular recipe so I am of no assistance…

Dilworth Neighborhood Grille

For some reason I feel like eating out is a special event that should be reserved for the weekends. After working and cooking (or attempting to cook) all week I love when we can get out and have a laid back dinner together with no dishes or clean up to worry about. Leftovers would probably…
