To say I’ve been having technology issues lately would be an understatement. You remember those cookies I mentioned last week? The ones I snapped photos of a while back that got lost in cyberspace? I made them again when our friends Mike and Laura came over for dinner, snapped photos (again) and then realized my memory card was corrupted because I removed it incorrectly from my computer. I finally got things figured out on the memory card front, but that … Read More
Slow Cooker Rootbeer Barbecue Beef Sandwiches
Hello, friends! I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday. I had really good intentions of getting a post up earlier this week, but my card reader magically corrupted all the files I was trying to download (photos of some really yummy cookies I was planning on sharing) so you’re getting a post about barbecue beef sandwiches.

Since the weather is starting to get cool around these parts, I was also excited that the items I … Read More

I think I mentioned that I was heavily influenced by the food we enjoyed while in Tuscany, right? Well in case you missed that tidbit, I was totally enamored with the food we ate in this amazing region of Italy. Actually, I was really surprised at how different the food was as … Read More
Traveling Italy: Siena
Settle in, friends, and get ready for a bunch of posts about all things Italy and travel. Before I get to the specifics of our day in Siena, let’s talk a little bit about our trip in general. Joe and I have been thinking about taking a trip to Italy since we got married two years ago. Italy was the natural choice. I mean, what’s not to love? Amazing food, beautiful countryside, tons of history and super friendly people. Count … Read More
