I’ve been married two whole years.
Who knew THAT would ever happen?!
One day I’ll learn to never say never. Remember that time I said I’d never get married… yeah…
As of Monday I’ve been married for 2 years. Now I have a tattoo to prove it. Sorry mom.

Santa came this weekend.
And by Santa I mean Vegas.
We decided to be adults this year and buy ourselves a new couch in lieu of expensive gifts. Vegas, as per usual, did not follow the rules.
This is what Santa brought me:

Life in the fast lane isn’t always satisfying.
“Forget about the fast lane. If you really want to fly, harness your power to your passion. Honor your calling. Everybody has one. Trust your heart, and success will come to you.” ~ Oprah Winfrey
Everybody has something in their life they are passionate about. That one thing they interject into practically every conversation. We often say “If only I could get paid to…” But people HAVE figured out how to turn those passions into a profession. Why shouldn’t YOU make money while following your passion?
Why not use the New Year as a starting point for a new career goal? #adulting
If one has an affinity for cars, that can be turned into a career as an auto mechanic. If the focus is on sports, avenues for coaching and physical rehab are open to those so inclined. And so it goes with a zeal for fitness and nutrition as well….
‘Tis the season for Eggnog.
And booze in general.
Tradition dictates that Christmas includes eggnog. After doing a lot of research, I came up with one of the easiest Eggnog recipes I’ve come across. Better yet, it can easily be doubled for a crowd!

Who’s ready for the holidays?
We (mostly) are.
This time of year makes me want to cook. A lot. When I saw that this month’s Recipe Redux Challenge was to open a cookbook and execute whatever was on p. 216, I knew exactly what cookbook to use. Julia! It’s the perfect excuse to start Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
It just so happened to be something I can’t even pronounce: Coquilles St. Jacques À La Parisienne. The translation is scallops and mushrooms in white wine sauce.

There aren’t many party dips I don’t like.
I’m that girl that hangs by the food spread all night.
This party season I wanted to create a healthier version of a classic dip. My French Onion Dip is high in protein and low in fat, but doesn’t sacrifice taste. It’s also quick and easy to make… what’s not to love?
…
Manhattans are my drink of choice.
Well, that and red wine.
Today we’re talking mixed drinks. If you’ve ever hung out with me, you know that I am a sucker for a well-made Manhattan. This Smoked Blood Orange Manhattan is the perfect balance of spiced honey bourbon, citrus, and a bit of smoke.

Mexico has no shortage of good food.
This may be an obvious point to many of you.
If you only have one day to eat (and drink) all that Tulum has to offer, you’re in luck. I’ve mapped out where to eat on Beach Road in Tulum, Mexico.
