Baby, it’s cold outside, so warm up with a festive holiday drink! Family recipes and traditional food and drinks are important parts of the holidays and I love discovering the flavors of the festive season from around the world. In my family, we stick with wassail, sparkling wine, and a glass of ice-cold rum chata
Miracle, a Christmas-themed pop-up bar, has been one of the most festive things to do in Denver to get in the holiday spirit with a spirit for a while now. Rick and I went with my sister and brother-in-law to see why everyone was ready to shoot their eye out over getting into this holiday
Happy Thanksgiving! As Rick and I prepare to devour as much turkey, stuffing, and green bean casserole as we can, I thought it’d be fun to take a look at how Thanksgiving, or a similar holiday, is celebrated around the world.

I’m pretty sure it’s 100% possible to be eternally eating when in the Eternal City. With amazing, classic dishes available at every restaurant and plenty of grab-and-go options that are also mind-blowing, you will not be leaving Rome hungry. Unless you hate good food, but then you’ve got bigger problems. I’ve always joked that I
Rick and I have started making a food tour a natural part of all of our getaways as it’s such a fun way to visit tucked away restaurants, eat where the locals eat, and learn more about the city from someone who lives there. So of course when we had a day in Reykjavik, we
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Iceland is its dramatic, natural landscapes complete with cascading waterfalls, rugged mountains, stunning glaciers, idyllic beaches, and even looking up to catch a beautiful display by Mother Nature with the shimmering dancing lights of an aurora.
