In January 2022, my husband and I escaped the cold Wisconsin winter and traveled to Belize. We stayed on the island of Ambergris Caye. It was a rustic, tropical paradise! Ambergris Caye is an island off the coast of Belize. You can either take a small plane or ferry from Belize City to get there.Continue reading “Ambergris Caye | Belize”

In my dreams, all my vacations are abroad and filled with luxurious amenities and food. Unfortunately, that’s neither practical or economical. To scratch our travel itch, in the summer, we try to explore places that aren’t too far from home. In recent years, a lot of those trips have focused around the Great Lakes. ThereContinue reading “Central U.P.- Proof I will turn any vacation into a food destination.”

Late this summer we took off for one of my bucket list trips! We did a road trip from Boston to Bar Harbor, stopping at various coastal towns along the way. Our first stop was Ogunquit, Maine. We spent a whole day doing what we do best, eating and exploring. Here were some of myContinue reading “One Day in Ogunquit | Maine”

We visited Antigua in February of 2019. It was our first vacation out of the country together as a couple. It turned out to be quite a memorable trip, as my now husband proposed to me there! Obviously, Antigua holds a special place in my heart now 🙂 We had a wonderful time and gotContinue reading “Antigua”

It’s blueberry time in the Midwest! As I mentioned in my Seasonal Summer Eats post, I purchased peaches from Tree Ripe Fruit. They stopped in our area again, and in addition to peaches they had Michigan Blueberries from Leduc Farms. The blueberries only came in 5lbs boxes. So, I had to ask myself, what doContinue reading “The Blueberry Weekend!”

We were lucky enough to travel to Barcelona in January of 2020, right before the whole world shut down. I remember seeing people wearing masks at the airport and thinking to myself, “that seems like a little much”. Turns out, it was not! Little did I know we’d be rocking our masks for the nextContinue reading “Barcelona, Spain”

As I mentioned in my Spring Farmers Market post I’ve been trying to eat seasonally. It’s been a fun way to try things I wouldn’t normally cook, and get out to the different farms and farmers markets. Here’s what I’ve tried so far this summer: Garlic ScapesI love garlic! I put it in everything. LastContinue reading “Seasonal Summer Eats”

We go to Door County a lot, probably too much. While I’m usually partial to trying out new places, this is somewhere I love coming back to again and again. It was the first trip my husband and took together and it has a special place in my heart. I love that there is suchContinue reading “Door County, WI”

After a rough couple weeks my husband and I were looking for a quick weekend getaway. We are based out of Milwaukee, WI, and are partial to Lake Michigan and lake towns. This year we decided we would check out the other side of the lake for a change. So, off we went on aContinue reading “Southeast Lake Michigan”

The last year I have been obsessing over farm fresh produce. It all started last summer when stopping by Witte’s Vegetable Farm in Cedarburg, WI. Everything tastes WAY better then when buying from the grocery store and lasts WAY longer! You also get the added bonus of supporting local businesses and growers. So, when theContinue reading “Spring Farmers Market Finds”
