As a foodie, I envisioned my appetite would be huge during my pregnancy, Surprisingly, it wasn’t too uncontrollable those nine long months. As soon as I found out we were expecting, I began to research the best foods and nutrition sources for each trimester. Throw […]
Valentine’s Day is upon us! Yes, I know the flack it gets for being a “Greeting Card Holiday” but to me, what’s better than an excuse to tell people you love them? And better yet, with food and candy? Although I’ll be busy being a […]
Botanical gardens continue to be one of my favorite places. I’ll certainly not see enough in my lifetime, so finding a new one is always a treat. The latest to discover? The Sherman Library and Gardens in picturesque Corona Del Mar, California. Having spent a […]
Despite this year has been anything but normal, one thing is for sure: I still love to eat. Last summer found me going up California’s Central Coast to San Mateo County. While plans were in store to return this month, Covid decided to take care […]
