Bummed that Jump Back Ball is still over a month away? Unable to go this year? Fortunately, there are a few things going on in Cleveland between now and February 23 to wet your Jump Back whistle. Get a Clue! Trivia Night Jump Back Ball is hosted each year by PlayhouseSquare Partners, the…

Christmas came early for Cleveland food-and-drink lovers at last week’s Emerging Chefs Naughty Claus. Going in, I knew if there was anyone who could break up the monotony of holiday meals, it would be the Emerging Chefs team. And I was not disappointed as they teamed with Chef Adam Lambert…
Bit o’ Blogkeeping: You have until 11:59pm on Monday, Dec. 24 to enter my Damn Right I’m From Cleveland giveaway. I’ll announce the winner on Christmas Day! As I’ve blogged before, my lack of cooking skills is a bit notorious. In fact the last (and only) time I ever baked something…

I’m lucky to have a pretty swell husband (understatement), fantastic parents and sister, friends and even in-laws (congrats Laura and Max on your engagement!).
