On Sunday, I got the chance to dine at Frontier and I will tell you one thing: I seriously don’t know what I have been doing in life without it! Frontier offers a rustic modern vibe, making you feel like you just stepped off the Oregon Trail (you know, that computer simulation game we all used to play in elementary school). The open-concept dining area with wooden tables and exposed brick walls create a warm and inviting family-style ambience. The glass ceiling in the back dining area staged ... [ Read More ]

Zucchini Noodle Caprese “Pasta”
Ever since my wedding day, I've been on an all pasta and chocolate diet (side note, this is not healthy). I've now realized that I had my fun and it's time for me to get back into a healthier lifestyle. I've been wanting to try zucchini noodles for a while, but the thought of getting my bulky spiralizer (that I've never even used) out of storage seemed so daunting. Then, I was sent a miracle product called the Chelsydale's Dual Blade Julienne Vegetable Peeler and it has officially cured my ... [ Read More ]
Panang Curry with Fried Tofu
It's only been about a two weeks since I left Thailand, but I'm already missing the incredible food. One of my favorite dishes I had while I was out there was Panang Curry. It's a sweeter, milder curry and I thought it would be fun to try and recreate it based on memory last night! It's very rare that I create a bomb recipe the first time, but I managed to do it with this one! Since there was a sale on tofu at the grocery store, I decided to use that instead of a traditional protein. Feel ... [ Read More ]
5 Food Photo Editing Apps you Should be Using
One of the secrets to any successful blog or photo sharing social media account (i.e Instagram) is great food photos. It's taken me years to figure out the best angles, lighting and staging necessary to create a good photo and I'm still learning new things from my friends every day. I'm lucky enough to have a really cool group of foodie friends that are willing to share their tips with me and feel like it's my job (as your foodie friend) to pass them along to you! My biggest frustration with ... [ Read More ]

Mango Brie Panini (an homage to Hamilton College)
Tucked away on top of a hill in Clinton, NY, sits one of my favorite places on earth. This picturesque oasis is called Hamilton College. For those of you who aren't familiar with Hamilton, it's a tiny (but mighty) liberal arts school with some of the best academic programs the entire country. From 2008-2011, I had the pleasure of working there, getting to know the students, the campus culture and most importantly, their life-changing Mango Brie Panini sandwich. Hands down, this is one of the ... [ Read More ]
