whew, this week is proving to be a whirlwind already!  In order to take a break from it all I thought I’d come back to my happy place and blog about a recent visit to a possible wedding spot.  Even though our wedding date isn’t set exactly, we have an idea to look out for September 2012.  I know you’re thinking, well why the heck are you already looking when it’s 2 long years away?!  True True.  I confess, once I get my mind going on something there’s no turning back!  We visited a local golf course/country club called Anthem and it was gorgeous!   [More Yum →]

These are the coolest pieces of bread to hit the market and they are very versatile to use for all sorts of quick recipes.  While the ingredients list is a little longer than I’d like, they are only 100 kcals, have 5 g of filling fiber, and taste great.  As a Foodbuzz tastemaker I was sent a few packs to review and share my favorite grilling recipe with them!  Soooo here goes  [More Yum →]

Many times taking a full vacation out of town is not always feasible or affordable, so to celebrate our 4th anniversary Chris and I decided to have a mini staycation at the M Resort!  It’s fairly close to us, easy to get to, and is a beautiful hotel.  It’s also not too far from the Strip either, but we kind of like being off the hustle and bustle of the strip ‘looking in’ from afar.  It turned out to be a quick trip, and I wanted to stay longer of course, but it was fun and gave us a little break time together.   [More Yum →]

Hello!  Chris and I made a bee line for Mt. Charleston last Friday to get in some good ol’ camping and biking.  We kind of got everything together last minute, and it was a pretty short trip, but we had fun!  It was nice to get out of the Vegas heat and not have cell phone service for a little while.  Sometimes it’s just nice to sit out in nature with a book in hand, a cool breeze at your back, and nothing but whispering trees and chippers climbing up your leg wanting more pistachios.   [More Yum →]
