Here are some really great recipes for the winter months and beyond. I love cooking especially in the winter as I don't have to worry about heating up the house too much. Most of the recipes are liked by all family members. I tried to incorporate easy recipes that don't require a lot of time or steps but some of the recipes I just love so I had to include them hoping you will love them too!
I am mom of 2 living in Zurich, and I am always on a lookout for a great place to eat with the kids. Sometimes on a rainy day that's all you want to do, just enjoy the coffee while the little ones are having a blast in a playground. I will be adding more to this list as we discover new family friendly places.
I love knowing I can reach for just a few trusty pans and be set for anything I want to bake. They’re sturdy, versatile, and make the whole process feel simple from start to finish. Clearing out the extras and sticking with these has made baking so much more enjoyable.
These are my favorite restaurants in Metro Atlanta where I’ve never had a bad meal. Consistently amazing food and vibes every time. Perfect spots to try when you want something delicious and reliable!
Pōneke is one of the most diverse food cities you’ll find, especially given its size. In Wellington you’ll find amazing cafes and bistros, as well as diverse options for so many global cuisines. And the coffee scene is top notch!
Eating out somewhere is how we bond as a family, whether for occasions or we just want to try it out. We have been a lot of restaurants and cafes in Metro Manila, but the ones I list down are the unforgettable! It's a mix of ambience, good service, and quality food above all.
So if you are visiting Metro Manila, or simply Manila, you have to eat in one of them. For sure they will be your reasons to come back! 😋

As someone who had visited Chicago for the first time recently, I fell in love with the city and here are my top recommendations for restaurants, cafes, and things to do!
I am crazy for spice, when I was in college I grew 24 pepper plants of 6 different varieties one year, and I've tried to grow at least one new variety every year. I love trying and making new hot sauces. I enjoy sweeter (and hotter) hot sauces, so keep in mind my spice tolerance is on the high side and if you like salty hot sauces this list might not work for you. I keep a spreadsheet of all the hot sauces I try and how I liked them, how hot I thought they were, and what other flavors they have.
I’ve been diagnosed with celiac for over 10 years so I’ve experimented with tons of gf food. Walmart is actually one of my favorite places to go for gf options. They have double the gf products most stores have and at a reasonable price. 🥰
As a long-time vegetarian, I have struggled so much with finding great places to eat at, especially in Hungary's culture, where meat is seen as a staple. BUUUT, I did manage to get this list together for everyone who might struggle with the same problem!

This list has all spots for French (with a range in the bill) in Boston, MA. Frankly, whatever your vibe, you really can't go wrong with any of these! I was introduced to French food a bit later in my taste pallet - I thought of it as the onion soups and frog legs of the world but realized it's so much more than that. Living in Boston opened my eyes to the beauty and delicacy that is the French cuisine, and these places are IT.

One thing I love is seasonal snacks at any time of year but winter vibes are always my favorite (next to Halloween of course) These snacks are family friendly and adorable and honestly you just kind of need them if you can
Beignets aren't only for New Orleans. Might be surprising to some, but Colorado has multiple amazing restaurants that serve beignets! The first time ever had one was a truly life changing experience. A mix between a donut & a funnel cake, you really can't go wrong!

I love good food, but I also have a gluten intolerance, and I can easily eat at all of these places.

NYC spots I love as a transplant New Yorker. Nothing too fancy. Just an ordinary’s girl favorite places. Most are smaller places because I prefer a hole in the wall than a big fancy restaurant.
I’ve been eating organic since my mid 20’s when I became aware of the differences. Now the goal is budget friendly organic items! I believe everyone should be able to afford eating healthy, so it’s always exciting to find organic foods that are low priced!

Are you ready to watch Gilmore girls for the 7th time because I definitely am. Truly the best show for the fall season, I’d have to say this is my favorite show as I have watched it at least 10 times. I hope you’ll enjoy it with a cup of coffee on a cozy fall night.
because mexican food can be elevated, and it can also be street food. it has so many faces and flavors that not only one version of your abuelitas cocina is true, from north to south, there is so much richness and variety that is hard for one single mexican to even know the complexity and the full variety of it. Every corner of mexico is capable of its own version of mole, barbacoa, or tacos and its so beautiful to experience all of it without judgement and with openness to appreciate. this post is to showcase some of the modern mexican concept restaurants that I am so happy to see thrive in a place like Denver. That for sooo many years you could not find a vast or true representation of all that is Mexican cuisine can be. I am also a fan of the aesthetics and the experience bc I am also *just a girl* so these are honestly a fave for date nights, girls night, or a celebratory dinner spot.

Check out these unique food spots in SF with some of the best Gluten Free options. Living with gluten issues among other food intolerances is never easy when it comes to eating out with friends or family. My issue is a skin related gluten intolerance called Dermatitis Herpetiformis. Its difficult for me to know whether these restaurants are safe for Celiac, as my condition isnt gut related, but many of them are nice restaurants that have iconic menu items made without gluten. Use the map to find your nearest spot!
It’s not the early 2000s anymore - gluten free snacks & treats don’t have to taste awful! There are SO many gluten free finds these days, and these are some of my favorites.
