• Another delicious weekend in Austin

    You may recall that I was in Texas for work for a good chunk of August, and I shared some of the great places I visited during my first weekend in Austin not too long ago. Although I enjoyed all the food and shopping that first weekend, I was not too excited to hang around […]

  • Strawberry margarita (on the rocks)

    I know. I was supposed to give you the recipe for the maple-bacon biscuits I made the other day, and I haven’t yet. But I thought those of you who don’t eat bacon might appreciate something vegetarian for a change. Plus, it’s Taco Tuesday! You need a margarita. These are not your typical strawberry margaritas. […]

  • Cheese and bacon strata

    Football is kind of a big deal around here. Between my need to watch Georgia games and Toby’s desire to watch every other football game ever played… it can get a little excessive. And while I’m on board with lot of football on TV, I wasn’t super excited when I realized that moving to the […]

  • Candied bacon

    It has been far, far too long since I’ve posted a recipe here. I’m sorry, and I’m going to make it up to you, starting today. I just hope you like bacon. Unlike the entire Internet, I am actually not head-over-heels for bacon. I know, I’m a weirdo. It’s cool. But, as you might imagine, […]

  • One skirt, 12 ways

    Packing for a long trip is a challenge. You don’t want your bag to weigh 100 pounds, but if you’re like me, you also don’t want to have to wear the same outfit three times in a week. That’s where the wardrobe workhorses come in: dark jeans, nude heels, leopard flats, a navy blazer. But […]

  • Weekend in Austin

    One nice thing about being in Texas for so long was that I got to visit Austin for the first time. I didn’t get to try, taste and visit everything, but I did manage to eat quite a bit of delicious food and do some fun stuff. My first stop? Round Rock Donuts. You can […]

  • Awkward selfies, part 2

    I’m finally back from Killeen! I stayed so much longer than I had planned that I actually had to go buy new clothes… and then do laundry and get things dry cleaned. It was a bit crazy.  But I do have some more weird photos of myself (and one of the gorgeous Central Texas sunrise) […]

  • Bunheads goodbye video

    Hey y’all. I’m still in Killeen, and it is super depressing and exhausting. However, yesterday I saw this Bunheads goodbye dance video, and it made me happy. Well, actually kinda sad, in that Bunheads has been canceled, but happy because of the dancing. So, I want you to watch it, too. Also, watch this video […]

  • Awkward selfies, part 1

    Since I’ve been staying in a hotel by myself and working long hours, I haven’t really had a chance to take good photos of my outfits. But I did want to share a few pictures I took to give you an idea of the kinds of things I packed. Please excuse the horrible lighting in […]

  • Flavors of Central Texas

    If you’re wondering why I haven’t been posting much lately… this is why. I’ve been in Killeen, Texas, for work. It’s hot here, and there isn’t a lot to do. Of course, I’m waking up at 5 a.m. and working really long days, so I don’t have a ton of time for super fun activities. […]
