This month is my grandparents’ 60th anniversary. To celebrate we’ve planned a number of festivities, the first of which was a family dinner party. They put me in charge of the menu, which was a big responsibility, especially because the other hosting candidates were professional caterers and fancy hotel restaurants, but I gave it my all and played the granddaughter card, which definitely scored me some extra points!

Check out the guest post I did for Grace Notes!
I’m in Korea! After resting for a week (…or actually two), I’ve finally eased my way back into the kitchen. I never realized how difficult it would be to cook at home versus a commercial kitchen, but it’s been fun making what I’ve learned for my family. Things don’t always come out as polished and nice as I want them too, but it just makes me realize how much more I need to practice and learn.

We have a guest post! By none other than my sister, Michelle. She took a recent trip to Atlanta, Georgia, where she revisited old favorites from her college days and new finds from more recent openings. Enjoy!
Thanks to a dear friend’s wedding, a short jaunt to Atlanta was in order. Now, Atlanta is home to southern hospitality (It’s not a myth!), the Braves, Jimmy Carter, and my alma mater. Having spent my formative adult years in Atlanta, it holds a special place in my heart, and I was excited to head south for the first time since graduation! While Atlanta isn’t known as a gastronomical hub like New York or Los Angeles, there are some culinary gems worth venturing to. Case in point? Fat Matt’s Rib Shack.

It’s been my general goal to visit all the renowned patisseries in Paris before I leave, however, I’ve slowed down quite a bit since I first arrived. My “To Visit” list is ever growing, but my lack of progress is quite embarrassing. It’s a combination of knowing there’s always tomorrow, the fact that I like revisiting places I already know, and lastly because I don’t like to go to patisseries by myself. All of those reasons canceled out when a couple of my friends and I made it a point to visit La Petite Rose before I go to Korea for the holidays.
