Brussels Grand Place – look closely and you’ll notice the entire building is off center! When I sat down to write this post, I sent a text to Annie and said that I was having a hard time figuring out what to write about the Brussels Beer and Chocolate Tour. Her response was, “All you
How to Pair Coffee and Desserts (and a holiday gift idea)
I’m a coffee snob and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I only drink one or two cups a day, but I make sure they are delicious. No gas station coffee for me. I’ve long been incapable of brewing coffee at home. Somehow it tastes weak and insipid (my boyfriend calls it noodle water) or
Czech Gingerbread Kolache
Sometimes I’m amazed at the taste memories that stick with me long after I travel. Some of them are expected: fish and chips in London, Peking duck in Beijing, tapas in Barcelona.

Europe Travel Journal: Amsterdam
Amsterdam has always been high on my travel bucket list. A few years ago, I missed a flight from Munich to Toulouse and was stuck in the Amsterdam airport for 12+ hours. We hadn’t planned on having the extra time and just hung out in the airport reading, eating, and drinking coffee. I even treated
Brown Butter Pumpkin Madeleines
I unabashedly love pumpkin. Fall is my favorite time of the year and a major reason is because pumpkin is back in season. While I only drink one or two pumpkin spice lattes per year, I could eat pumpkin muffins, cookies, rolls, cakes, and other baked goods every single day. A few weeks back, I shared my

So far, I’ve made it to Walt Disney World (Orlando), Disneyland (California), Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland, Aulani (Hawaii), and on a cruise with Disney Cruise Lines.

Europe Travel Journal: Belgium
Chocolate. Beer. Rain. Frites. More frites. More beer. And even more rain. That’s pretty much how I would sum up my time spent in Belgium. I had a great few days in Brussels and Bruges and it was a nice relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of Paris. While there isn’t a ton to
