Eating Our Way Through St. Louis

Pin ItFabulous, Green Seattle!
Seattle is one of the best places in the world to visit if you want a green, healthy, organic experience. From a hotel with an expansive and growing green grass roof (no kidding!) to the well-known Pike Place Market, where you can select flowers so fresh they may still glisten with morning dew, this beautiful … Continue reading
Pin ItHidden Gem in Chicago: The Storefront Company
You might never know The Storefront Company restaurant is unobtrusively tucked away on this quiet residential street in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago. And that would be a crying shame. Because this lovely little hidden gem has some of the most scrumptious food in the city. The only mistake we made in our entire evening … Continue reading
Girlfriends Getaway to the Emerald City
Seattle truly lives up to its nickname; surrounded by acres of dark green forests and the clear, bright green water of Puget Sound on the West and Lake Washington on the East which sprawl on both sides of the isthmus where the city is located, from the air it’s a green paradise. Staying Green in … Continue reading
Pin ItFabulous Dining Experience at Cielo in St. Louis

We had some time before our reservation, so we decided to stroll around a bit. We … Continue reading
Pin ItWhat’s A Fish Boil?
We’ve had a Low Country boil several times before. It’s a traditional dish in the low country of Georgia, Louisiana and South Carolina—a variety of shellfish, potatoes and corn are thrown into a pot with water and seasonings and cooked until done, then served. And devoured. Quickly. Because it’s delicious. So, we thought we knew … Continue reading
Pin ItThe Lovely Mayflower Park Hotel in Seattle
We had packed, gathered up our luggage, and were heading out the door of our suite when Tom pointed to another door in the entrance hallway that was ajar for the first time during our stay and said “Uh. Is that another bathroom”? You all. We had just spent two days in our lovely suite at the … Continue reading
