I am an adult (or at least my age dictates so) but when I walk in to a store this time of year and see a display of Reese’s Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs, it never fails to make me want to shriek with glee, grab a bag and go running out of the store […]

I had first heard of Ethel’s Chocolates a few years ago while living in Chicago, where they had multiple shops. Sadly according to Yelp, it appears that most (maybe all?) of their Chi-town locations have closed. I never knew that they were based in Las Vegas but figured what better place to revisit them than […]

Taste Tester and I took a quick trip over to Vegas for business this week. Instead of getting drunk and gambling away our life’s worth, we learned a few things about Sin City:
- It is truly awesome to leave the snow shovels and thermals behind to run around outside in a t-shirt in mid-February.
- […]

Oh, how I love this time of year. You get to spend a little extra time with your family and friends and of course, eat your heart out. Here are some tasty treats I’ve gotten ahold of throughout the holidays:
I had seen the callout for Saratoga Peanut Butter Company in Everyday with Rachael Ray a […]

I was hoping to get this gift guide up a little sooner, but thankfully you still have some time to order your gifts and have them sent off for the holidays! (At least if it’s too late, you can always bookmark this page and save it for Valentine’s Day.)
It’s no secret that over the last […]

Have fun building up your sweets stash today! Remember to barter for chocolate peanut butter treats!
(Credit for this carving-a-Reeses idea goes to Taste Tester who saw it on a Reeses Halloween commercial. Unfortunately it was so irresistible that our dog snuck into my photo area and ate it shortly after the shoot!)

To all of you who sent such nice comments on my last post: thanks for the enthusiasm - we are excited to get hitched!! :)
During our road trip, we spent a long weekend in Omaha, NE for a wedding and had an afternoon to wander around the Old Market neighborhood. It’s a charming little area […]

It’s amazing how Boston is only a three hour drive away and yet I’ve only been there a few times in my life. Taste Tester and I visited this past weekend and had a great time. There are lots of fun things to do there like:
Thing #1: Walk the Freedom Trail and see some historic […]

Despite the fact that it’s weather kinda sucks, and its inhabitants (for the most part) need to be educated on what a good pizza slice is, Chicago is a pretty excellent place. Taste Tester and I used to live there and like to return fairly regularly to visit friends, family and of course chow down […]
