One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
I had the pleasure of working in Rome over Veteran’s Day weekend. I am a France girl. I want everything poulet, butter, and Julia Child-with these loves I have always been more France than Italy. This trip to Rome softened my cœur. I really enjoyed my time in Rome. I also realized how much I loved…
When family and friends are in town it is good to have a stocked kitchen. Pumpkin scones are what my peeps will be munching on each morning for the next few days! These are easy “grab” food which means they can grab them whenever they want and there is no cooking involved! I like having…
When in Miami this past Labor Day weekend we had the pleasure of dinning at Pao by Paul Qui, in the Faena Hotel on Miami Beach. The Top Chef winner’s restaurant is beautiful and has a $6 million gold unicorn statue centered in the dining room. We decided to go big and get the tasting…
My last post about my two weeks in South Africa is about a safari, one of my most favorite experiences ever. We flew into Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport from Johannesburg and then took a bus to our hotel which was just outside of Kruger Gate. Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves…

Twenty- Something for Twenty-somethings will help you find hot destinations where you can enjoy cutting-edge cuisine in a stylish setting — all within…
In Cape Town, my group had a day where we went south and hung out on the coast. We filled our day with boat time, coast time, and sea creatures. We took the Garden Route, which is a coastal road up on the cliffs so you get incredible views! The first stop was a boat…
Cape Town is an amazing city that I loved exploring. What I really loved about it was that you could turn the corner and the city would be completely different. You could be walking down the city street and then find yourself in colorful Bo-Kaap or walk down to the water and explore the V&A…
