We spent 9 days on the Hawaiian island of Oahu for under $2000 (including flights)! Here's how... Hawaii, a dream vacation. For us, yes. We needed a getaway that would recharge our batteries, get us outside to play, and that we could do on a very cheap budget. Is it possible to have a cheap...
Let's face it, food bloggers can be a bit pretentious about food. We love to cook, we want to showcase out mad skills, and most of all, we want to share it with out loyal readers on our blogs the next day. But, here's the thing. My 'real' friends could care less about any of...

There's been a lot going on for the last few weeks in the world. For my part, and many not so far away from me, a lot of the busyness has been dealing with the aftermath of hurricane Sandy. In my neighborhood, we got lucky. Really lucky. My boyfriend only had to help his grandparents with some...
If one things scares me in the kitchen, it's dough. We only had pie once a year in my house, one pumpkin and one apple.. All homemade by my father that we would dish out on Thanksgiving day to anyone who would eat them, because we didn't. That is my whole pie experience All 26 years...

BBQ nachos waiting for me at 9:30...
Smørrebrød is a classic Danish dish, essentially an open faced fish sandwich. The spicy romelaude is a wonderful accent to the mild fish underneath.

Curried turkey pot pie is about as comforting as comfort food gets. It's full of flavor and because they're a single serving size, they bake up quickly.
