I have never been to a restaurant quite like the Schoolhouse Restaurant in Camp Dennison, Ohio. Walking in the front door is like walking back in time. This schoolhouse itself is over 150 years old, and has been a restaurant for over 50 years. The owners have preserved the history and keep the dining room...
If you’ve read this blog for any amount of time you know that we are huge fans of pizza night for dinner. I have always loved making my own dough, and Ella usually makes our sauce, but at times life is too chaotic to even make dough or sauce in time for dinner. Sometimes I...
If you think that the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company only performs the works of Shakespeare you are incorrect. They bring many other wonderfully written works to the stage and sometimes they even cram over ninety great works into one amazing show.

Recently I had a plethora of peaches in my possession and I needed to find some delicious peach recipes to make something tasty with them.

Wabi Sabi is THE place to get Sushi in Covington. We are big fans of their sushi rolls, especially since they are made with fresh ingredients and are half price all the time when you dine in. Wabi Sabi does not just serve sushi though, there are other items on the menu for those who...

Recently the toothpaste that we have used for years and years was discontinued. Imagine my distress if you will. In a way, it was a blessing in disguise as it enabled me to do some research into all the different types of toothpaste out there. I even ended up researching ‘what is toothpaste made of?’...
Recently I was given a copy of Melissa’s Southern Cookbook to review, and while trying recipes from the book one in particular became a family favorite immediately. The Slow Cooker Braised Pot Roast with Gravy and Vegetables was pretty easy to put together and made my house smell good all day long. And when it...

We found ourselves in Louisville for a day trip a few weeks back and the first stop on our itinerary was a craft brewery that we’ve heard lots of buzz about. Against the Grain Brewery is not just a brewery, it’s a restaurant and an all around cool place to hang out. Along with creating...
Summer vacation is flying by and instead of being down about it I’m going to turn that frown upside and celebrate by cramming as much fun as I can into the remaining weeks. To help you have some summer fun I’ve partnered with a few folks in the community to provide an epic Summer Fun...
