I’ve been baking for the crew at the Boathouse for 4 years now, I think. Time flies when you’re having fun! But through spending so much time there, my parents and I have also garnered a bunch of new friends – most of them are lifelong Bethany Beach locals. And as we’ve…
Well, after a 6 month hiatus, it feels good to be sitting down to write a recipe again. So much has happened in the last 5 months, I don’t know where the time went! Most exciting of all is that I’ve started my MBA! I’m going online through the University of…
It’s been a few weeks since the world lost Anthony Bordain. I’ve been thinking about him, and the legacy he left behind, a lot since his suicide. Much of my early food inspiration came from my parents and grandparents, but as I got older, I yearned to learn more about the world,…
Every family has their go-to snow day recipes, don’t they? For my family, that recipe as always been grilled ham and cheese sandwiches and my Aunt Debbie’s famous Chicken Corn Chowder! I sometimes call it our “Snow Day Soup,” because we make a big pot anytime the snow begins to coat the…

Everyone has their comfort foods – the dishes that your mom or grandmother used to make, and that somehow never taste as good, no matter how closely you follow their recipes and instructions. In my family, it’s always been dad’s recipes that inspire the most nostalgia in my head. His eggplant parmesan,…
Beer is a fairly new exploration area for me. I’ve long been a fan of hard cider, and will continue to be, but I am finally learning to appreciate beer. I’ve become a big fan of Gose and Sour varieties, and even a porter or stout can turn my head if I’m…
Is it just me, or does traveling really wear you down too? I just got back from a cross country jaunt to Seattle, and while I had a great time, I came home with a killer cold. I’m not sure if it’s being in a confined space with hundreds of people on…
My sophomore year at Virginia Tech, I visited the poster sale before classes started to find some things to decorate my new dorm room. I came across a “101 Places to See before You Die” poster and it caught my eye. I’ve always had a touch of wanderlust, and this poster inspired…
