Before I begin let me give you a word of warning: Truffle Fries are highly addictive. Once you’ve had them you’ll never go back to plain old french fries! Even my children are smitten with truffle fries now. I have had the pleasure of dining on truffle fries on many fine restaurants in our area,...
Today the boys and I visited The Friendly Market in Boone County for the first time. This market opened in 2013, and has some great local vendors and products. The Friendly Market is a smaller market than Findlay Market, but I liked the intimate vibe, and loved the fact that the business owners themselves were...
Rusty Bucket Restaurant & Tavern is one of my family’s favorite places around town to grab a bite to eat. They have a menu full of tasty options and their beer menu is interesting and full of great choices (including local brews!). Rusty Bucket has two locations in our area, one in Rookwood and another...
It’s that time of year…time to send the kids back to school for a year of growing & learning. This time of year is always hard for my family. We hate to see summer end, and we dread the return to early mornings & chaotic evenings. I’ve put together some tips that help me and...

Last week we visited South Carolina with my family and enjoyed a week playing on the beach. We had a nice relaxing week, and we ate like kings and queens all week! We made some of our favorite meals and tried some new dishes as well. Hopefully our vacation menu will give you some new...
While going through my blog archives I stumbled upon this post from the Fall of 2011 and a very blue six year old Max. I didn’t pose these pictures, he was just really talented at pouting!
It’s Monday! That means it’s time to get planning our weekly menu. Last week we had some great dinners (see links below), this coming week however is going to be super busy, so I’m trying to get creative and find some easy dinner recipes. Feel free to leave me a comment below if you have...
If you know me then you probably know that I LOVE Izzy’s. I did a happy dance when an Izzy’s was built in our neighborhood. I’ve loved everything I’ve tried at Izzy’s, and I was excited to hear that they have unveiled a new LITE menu. I was asked to give the new menu a...
I’ve never really been a fan of cauliflower until just recently. Michael came home from the store with purple cauliflower and broccoli a few weeks back with the thought that maybe the kids would be willing to try cauliflower if it was purple. And in fact, he converted me. Purple is my favorite color so...
The Butterflies have moved on to another city, and Krohn Conservatory has opened a TASTY new exhibit! The Edible Landscape is on display from now until August 24th. You can not only visit the conservatory and see a multitude of edible plants growing, but you can also purchase your own plants there AND you can...
August is right around the corner and that means the return of FREE performances by the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company in parks around our region. Michael and I love going to Cincy Shakes to see shows in their intimate theater, but come August the company spreads their wings and performs in front of the public in...
