Living in Arkansas means being surrounded by nature. Lately, Chad and I have been trying to take advantage of our surroundings and go on one hike every weekend. This time we went to Hawksbill Crag, which is a signature overlook in Arkansas. To say this place is in the middle of nowhere is the understatement […]
Touring Tastebuds
When I mention Austin, TX to anyone who has been there or heard of it, the two things people always seem to talk about are the music and the food. My favorite of those two things is obviously the food. So, when we spent our weekend in Austin, I made sure that we hit up […]
This last weekend we decided to take a long weekend and go somewhere warm. When your sister lives in one of the best warm cities in the country, it makes the decision easy. We packed up and started the drive to Austin, TX. This time around Chad and I decided to stay at a hotel […]
If you’re like me, meaning you’re obsessed with Mexican food, then you have zero self control when a bowl of salsa and a basket of chips is set in front of you. For this reason, I am a huge fan of Cinco de Mayo. Any excuse to eat nachos, excessive salsa and drink a marg […]
It’s been raining a lot here. And when it rains, it doesn’t sprinkle or mist a little, it full on down pours. The kind of rain that gets you so soaked the second you step outside that you wonder why you still don’t own an umbrella. Don’t get me wrong, I love the rain, but […]

My new obsession: High Brew Cold Brew. I was standing in front of the coffee cooler at Whole Foods a few months ago trying to decide which cold brew to buy to get me through my afternoon at work. I am the most indecisive person ever, so I was comparing the nutritional facts on the back […]
Fun fact, I’m allergic to bananas. As much as I want to add them to my smoothies or have one for an afternoon snack, I usually decide it’s not worth the throat swelling. Luckily enough, cooking bananas doesn’t cause as much of a reaction, so therefore banana bread all day everyday! Not really, but a […]
Oklahoma City is one of mine and Chad’s favorite weekend getaway spots. We usually go to watch an Oklahoma City Thunder game and then stay to eat all of the good food and explore the city. This weekend we went to a Saturday afternoon game and got out while the 80 degree sunshine was still […]
I’m not a huge soup person, but I am a huge pasta person. So, what better way to become a soup person than by making a pasta soup! I had a lot of these ingredients already in my fridge and pantry, and combined together they made a delicious soup that’s second best to the real […]
