I can't believe six weeks have passed since we got home from the desert! Each visit, a few things stick with me for months afterwards (and then, of course, I begin planning for the next year...), and one of them is always dinner at Melvyn's at the Ingleside Inn.
From the moment you roll into ...
New Favorite: Le Colonial Restaurant, Chicago
I believe it was two Julys ago now that Bryan and I stepped into Le Colonial for the first time. Having passed the lit awning and smart-looking valets on Oak Street on more than one occasion (and on Rush at their old location), my curiosity had gotten the better of me, and we made a reservation for ...
Decade Restaurant: A Rebirth of an Old Favorite
Like so many restaurant owners here in town, during Covid, the incredible owner of Decca restaurant, Annie Petry, decided to close her doors. Annie had fostered an incredible career; her fame from the Food Network coupled with her beautiful styling of Southern-inspired food and an architecturally ...
A Warm Weather Tea Cake
Once it hits 80 degrees outside, my dessert cravings shift from what is essentially "all Italian Cream Cake all the time" to a craving for things that are either light or citrusy or some combination thereof. When I stumbled upon a lemon pistachio cake from With Spice, it promised to be both!

The Kentucky Derby Table
Friends, please excuse my recycled photos here. When my girlfriends' accountability group got together for a pre-Derby brunch in 2019, I pieced things together for a celebratory table that I'm almost sure I could never top!
Kentucky Derby gatherings themselves are as old as the race itself! ...
A Harvest Time Cocktail Perfect for Cooler Weather
Dear readers, each year, I try to bring you some pumpkin-riffed food or beverage near Halloween or right after. This year, though, I'm revisiting a winter cocktail mixed for me a few years ago in what was one of my favorite spots in the city- the stone-walled cellar bar at the now closed Decca ...
Dinner at The Pine Room
We're fortunate to have so many fantastic restaurants here in Louisville. At one point, I believe that our city had the most independently owned restaurants per capita than any other in the US. A huge feat, considering our size! One of these spots that we've frequented several times lately is The ...
Sip on This: Our House Old Fashioned
As much as Bryan and I travel, I'm continuously surprised at how difficult it is to grab a great Bourbon cocktail in other cities. In Chicago, the first place we found Old Forester was at The Berkshire Room (then and now one of our favorite bars in the city). In Southern California, we searched as ...
Tried and True: Butternut Squash Pie
I'm not sure how I stumbled upon this recipe so many years ago, but I know that every year, for some reason or another, it makes an appearance. It's what I gift to neighbors around Thanksgiving, usually what the hubs requests for his birthday in addition to a plain, white cake, and what I often ...
