Life is a Delicious Adventure!
Inside: What I learned on my first trip to NYC with my daughter. Have you been to New York City? Does the very name conjure up images in your mind? Skyscrapers? People walking by super fast and always in a hurry? I’ve always been in love with New York City. Different cultures, an amazing food…
Inside: A fun way to spend a day enjoying Christmas in Columbus I don’t know about you, but I just LOVE a good scavenger hunt. So does my family. It’s such a fun excuse to get out of the house and off on an adventure. I recently put together a holiday scavenger hunt for my…

“Is that man a German?” The old monk asked me, peering at my husband who was wandering outside the monastery. “Um…..” my mind started to do that thing that writers’ minds often do when they are presented with semantics. I guess the logical engineer’s answer would be a solid “No, he’s not a German.” But…

We were busy running errands around Lewis Center when hunger hit. We needed something fast and delicious and a quick Yelp search led us to Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. And we’re so happy it did because it was really yummy! We thought it was the perfect spot to take the little ones so I couldn’t wait…
I’m sharing one of our house favorites today. An authentic Bolognese sauce. First things first – I want to be clear. If you’re looking for a “tomato sauce with ground meat” recipe, this isn’t it. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. In fact, it was my go-to dish all throughout college and the early…
