Our time in Santiago was filled with exploring the city, the mountains, and plenty of Chilean wine. Check out Part 1 about all the food here. Throughout our time in Santiago we stayed in really great Airbnbs. We found them to be affordable, convenient, and overall a really wonderful experience. Both in Santiago and in…
Thumbprint cookies are one of my favorites. Growing up we always ate buttery cookies rolled in walnuts, with strawberry jam filling the thumbprint. If you’re not familiar thumbprint cookies are quite literally what they sound like. Soft butter cookies, that are baked briefly then you stick your (hopefully clean!) thumb right in the middle to…
Wow, it’s crazy to think that it has been a whole year since I traveled south to Chile. This post has been sitting in my drafts since November, 2016 a few days after arriving home from our trip. To say the last year has been busy, and honestly sort of crazy, is an understatement. There…

One of my favorite aspects of living in a new city and state is learning about some of the wonderful local products that Ohio has to offer. Today we’re talking about Bourbon. When Watershed Distillery out of Columbus reached out, I was more than excited to learn about Ohio-made spirits, Bourbon in particular. I don’t know…
Summer rolls. Spring rolls. How about fall rolls? Thanks to my good friend Noy, I think fresh rolls are the perfect party food. A few years ago we were at a party at a friend’s house and Noy arrived with all the ingredients to make fresh rolls. I had never made them before, only eaten…
We’ve been living in Cleveland for a little over three months now and I have yet to share about what we’ve been up to. While I have a ton of travel posts I still want to get to (California, Western Michigan, Charlotte, Charleston, Asheville), I thought I would share about our recent weekend while it…
While it may not feel like fall with this heatwave sweeping across the country, at least the fall produce is arriving in full force. I have been loving picking up a bag full of various squash, winter greens, and apples from City Fresh each week. In the last few weeks I’ve come home with some…
