I was planning to make a caprese salad type of dish with eggplant, to use up the rest of our Mozzarella, when I realized that the cheese had gone bad. Womp womp. I thought I’d make eggplant gratin instead, so I picked up some Go Veggie Mozzarella shreds. But… I didn’t have an onion, and… Continue reading Caprese Eggplant Parmesan

Over the past few weeks, in my spare time, I have scoured The Overseas Escape, Victoria Strader, Tales of Me and the Husband, Hither and Thither, and Gal Meets Glam for every… Continue reading Wanderlust: Italia

I have been itching to write about Singapore and look back on my pictures from our trip there last summer.

So, I have some big news… We are moving to France!! Eight years ago when I learned about the Paris office for our organization, I immediately put it on the top of my “dream staff life” jobs/locations.
