Have you ever read a book that inspired you to action? The kind that upon reading the last page, you close the book, put it down, then get up and do something about it? That’s what this book did to me. I had heard people buzzing about Born to Run for a while, but I [...]
In keeping with my cookbook giveaway, I thought I would share some other fantastic cookbooks that have made it onto my wishlist. Some I have looked through, some I own, but most of them I’m just jonesin’ to get my hands on. At the end of the post, the Real Food Diet Cookbook Giveaway winner [...]
The very first day I arrived in New Zealand, my friends took me to their favorite little cafe in Auckland: Revive. It’s a great little vegetarian cafe in the heart of the Central Business District that serves up fresh, healthy, and ridiculously delicious food. Case in point: our lunch from the salad bar: Pictured here [...]
I’ve always said it’s the hole-in-the-wall places that generally have the best food. And that’s definitely what this place is. A hole. in. the. wall. I likely would have never found this place were it not for Groupon. And even then, I almost passed it by without a second thought until my husband actually read [...]
St. Louis is one of my favorite cities. It easily makes the list of cities I could picture myself living in. (If only it weren’t so far north. I’m a pansy when it comes to cold weather.) But I love the history, the character, the free attractions, and the good food. I especially love the [...]
This was one of those restaurants I kept hearing people rave about. And it sounded great! Grass-fed burgers in a trendy neighborhood south of Nashville. A restaurant owned and operated by the owners of the Frothy Monkey coffee house down the street. (Popular with the college crowd. Food from local farms on their menu. Good [...]
This isn’t necessarily a book I would have picked from the bookstore shelf myself. Admittedly the cover is incredibly cheesy. This came as required reading for staff meetings at work. And I was actually pleasantly surprised at how much new information I learned from it! The first page describes the book as a ‘guidebook for [...]
Made by Hand Searching for Meaning in a Throwaway World by Mark Frauenfelder I happened to find this book on Amazon’s homepage. I was definitely intrigued, especially by the book’s tagline, so I put it on my WishList. I love making things myself, using recycled materials, and generally doing my best not to contribute to [...]
This is not your typical chain burrito joint. It’s a local, independently owned burrito joint that features local meats and healthy options. And whoa, is it good. Baja is well known in Nashville by the college scene and young crowd. It’s located at the edge of the artsy and eclectic Berry Hill neighborhood, across the [...]
Even though this local restaurant isn’t local to me anymore (being located in Memphis, not Nashville), I couldn’t resist reviewing it. It has fast become a place I HAVE to visit whenever I’m in Memphis. This is not your typical cheese-laden, fajita-sizzling, monster margarita Mexican joint (though there’s nothing wrong with monster margaritas…). The owner’s [...]
