One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
My little sister Kylie visited this past weekend. She loves lemon desserts so I made lemon poppyseed cookies! The cookie was like a short bread and though this is a really lemon forward recipe it is not overwhelming at all—perfect summer cookie! If you are looking for a dessert to make for a Memorial Day…
Sarena, Becky, and myself got off the boat in Bagan and headed to the hotel; Yun Myo Thu. Tip if you take the boat into Bagan you are required to pay a $20 USD entrance fee and there are no ATMs in that area. We pulled everything we had left to cover all three of us…
A few weekends ago I attended one of my good friends wedding in Savannah, Georgia. I didn’t get a ton of time to explore the city because I got in on a Friday afternoon and left on the following Sunday morning but from what I saw I loved. It reminded me a lot of Charleston…
I could not decide what meal to make for dinner tonight; I searched and searched and no recipe stood out. Then I remembered the famous words of Ina Garten,”it’s Friday again and Jeffrey is on his way home and I am making him his favorite, chicken.” Ina you are right, Friday night is for roast…
The VIP bus cost about three dollars more than the regular bus. The upgrade meant reclining seats and air conditioning. We decided to splurge for these amenities. I planned out my trip with one of my friends who had been to Myanmar before and I wanted to overnight bus to each new city because its…

Part two for Inle Lake For our first meal in Myanmar we were seeking authentic curry. We had dinner at Lin Htett and we were successful in our authentic dinner mission. We each picked out a curry as our “main” but the sides that came with could equally have been a main on their own….
Disclaimer: Inle Lake has three posts so stay tuned for Parts 2 and 3. Myanmar is unlike any place I had every been. Visiting this country allowed me a glimpse into another world; a different type of life. One you hear about but rarely see. We started our Myanmar aka Burma experience in Yangon but…
This past week I have been in Berlin. I was managing a training tour for our first time group leaders (our formal name for teachers) so when they take their students abroad they already know all the ins and outs of our tours! The video below gives you a look into our awesome time and…
