KoKyu Food Truck and Cocoa Cinnamon Coffee {Durham, NC}

April 1, 2013

We headed to Durham this past weekend to go house-hunting for the big move. I’d been OCD-checking the weather from my space-heater-warmed office for the previous week or so in hopes of warm weather in the near future, so I knew the weather was going to be beautiful during our trip. I just didn’t realize [...]

Spice Update Sale and Salad Love {Eats}

March 27, 2013

Our local Savory Spice Shop is featuring a great deal through the end of March. Bring in a competitor’s bottle and get $1 off a new SSS bottle full of fresh herbs or spices. I knew quickly that I wanted to cash in on this offer. So, I gathered the bottles that were empty (or [...]

Berebere Spiced Egg Bake {Recipe}

March 23, 2013

Speaking of lack of breakfast-eating, one thing I’ve been able to sneak in now and again is my tried and true egg bake. These truly are SO much easier than making a fried or scrambled egg. Each of those requires dedicated attention during the cook time. With an egg bake, you just throw some stuff [...]

Hot Blueberry-Honey Breakfast Quinoa {Recipe}

March 12, 2013

I may be the only one excited for the time change. I know we lose an hour, and that is no bueno, but I’m in it for the extra sunshine every day. I’ve already started enjoying it. Days will seemingly last longer, I’ll have better (more?) light for photos, and maybe I’ll even get a [...]

After the previous day’s breakfast, I was really looking forward to more breakfast eats at Louisa’s Porch B&B. We started with another yummy fruit bowl. And breakfast was a fabulous party on a plate with lots of different components – French scrambled eggs, breakfast salad with blueberry vinaigrette, bacon, roasted root vegetables, and cheesy grits.

French Broad Chocolate Lounge & Homegrown {Asheville, NC}

March 8, 2013

The weekend seemed to go by too quickly. I wished I’d had a whole week to spend there like we did last time. Nevertheless, Sunday night was for revisiting some faves from our last trip – French Broad Chocolate Lounge and Homegrown. But first, I enjoyed a massage at Spa Theology – a recommendation from [...]

Corner Kitchen & Biltmore Wines {Asheville, NC}

March 7, 2013

After our big breakfast, we decided on something light for lunch. Since Sunday was our last full day in Asheville, NC, we had a couple more to-dos on our list – get wine from Biltmore and visit a dinner fave from our last trip. With a trip to Biltmore in mind for the afternoon, we [...]

Tapas at Zambra {Asheville, NC}

March 6, 2013

One of the major components of our thinking retreat was eating. I love great food, and I love Asheville’s restaurant scene. It’s the closest thing I can find to San Francisco in the Carolinas (in the South?). Small, local places thrive and feature from-scratch dishes made with a focus on utilizing local and organic ingredients. [...]
