Month 4 was a big one for baby Harrison, and for us! He definitely transitioned out of the “fourth trimester” and is becoming far more engaged with us – which is so fun! December was a pretty magical month with the holidays, family, friends and milestones. Continue reading
2018 was a big year for me with pregnancy and welcoming our baby boy to our lives. It was decidedly NOT as big a year for food as 2017. Hard to beat India, Cuba AND Japan in one year, plus incredible dining experiences in Chicago (Next, Giant, etc.). However, I still had plenty of unique and memorable dishes thanks to regional travel, new restaurants opening in the A, and trying plenty of new recipes at home (as we do).
One trend I noticed this year was that desserts and sweet treats found their way to more prominent places on my list than usual. I suspect this had to do with my enhanced sweet tooth during pregnancy. 😉
So what was my top dish of 2018? Read on! Continue reading
It’s hard to believe we’re celebrating our first Christmas with baby Harrison already! We’ve had a blast dressing him up in numerous holiday-themed outfits, some that were hand-me-downs from friends and some that were new from the grandmas. Harrison also saw Santa, went to holiday markets, hosted a gift exchange, slept over at Auntie Krista and Uncle Greg’s house, went to a gingerbread house decorating party, and has gotten tons and tons of cuddles and kisses from our many wonderful friends. I wanted to capture and share our favorite photos from this special time – take a look and enjoy! Continue reading
After a loooooooong wait, Hattie B’s finally opened in Atlanta earlier this year. I had my first experience with Nashville Hot Chicken a few years ago in Nashville and when I heard Hattie B’s was planning to expand to the A, I stalked the updates of the project. Given my excitement and having been a couple of times already, I had to feature them on my New Bites series! Continue reading

Breakers is neither a new nor new-to-us restaurant but it’s been one I’ve been wanting to feature for awhile. So here goes! Continue reading
I love quiche. Sean loves quiche. Quiches are a frequent breakfast, lunch or even dinner in our house. I always make up my perfect pie crust and find that quiches are a great way to use up vegetables that need eaten or, in this case, to creatively use a yummy meat like chorizo. This is a quick and easy recipe for a family meal or to share with friends at brunch, etc. Continue reading
On November 5, Harrison turned 2 months old! He continues to be a truly pleasant baby and I’m loving him more every day as we continue to bond. Being home with him is so nice and I’m trying my best to enjoy this special time as much as I can. As you can see from these photos, he has grown and changed a lot!
This onesie is from Cherish and Chris and was the first baby item we got. 🙂 Valerie gave me the gift bag and couldn’t resist letting me know before I opened it that “it’s a onesie. It’s for your baby!” That girl, she kills me. 😉 Continue reading
