Earlier this week, I had to bring into work a photo from my childhood. As I was looking through the box of family photos in my bedroom closet, I found this one: And seeing it made me question where that carefree kid went. I can be so focused on whatever tasks I’m juggling that it’s…
Vote, Vote and Vote Some More for Cleveland!
Those who know me off-blog know that I can be a competitive person. Maybe not as competitive as Mad Men’s favorite copywriter Peggy (who was described in last week’s episode as so competitive she “races people to the toilet”), but when it comes to a person or place I’m proud of, my competitive streak can quickly […]
Emerging Chefs' Garden Party at AMP 150
I’ve made no secret of the fact that AMP 150 is one of my favorite restaurants in Cleveland. The awesomeness they brought to this year’s Jump Back Ball VIP party is just one reason why I love them.

A Sushi Feast with The Chubby Cook and Sushi Rock's Chef Tran
When Scott and I talk about starting a family, the conversation often goes to what foods I’d have to give up if I were pregnant (what can I say, we love food!). And while I’ll be able to forgo alcohol and caffeine pretty easily, I think the hugest challenge is going to be…
