This weekend my best friends got married! To each other! It was a beautiful wedding and so much fun to have some of the Loyola crew back together again. A couple of days before the wedding I went to get my nails done. I had purchased a Groupon to a new nail studio in Canton…

smoky shrimp burgers
This week the GS and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary! It’s kind of crazy that he’s tolerated me for this long. I said something outrageous on Sunday and he just looked at me and said “Sometimes I wonder about the things that go through your brain that you choose NOT to say.” He doesn’t…
jalapeno chip crusted salmon
Enter: excuses for being MIA for the last two weeks. Enter: recipe for your next dinner party! This was the one meal I made while I was briefly back at home in between jet setting. I was in Chicago for a week, and I’ve since been to Florida and now in Virginia Beach. I’m ready…
slow cooker cioppino
This weekend I went to my first Ravens game ever! Which is kind of surprising given that I’ve lived in Baltimore for the better part of eight years. Aaron had four tickets so he invited the GS and I to go. We had amazing seats, but I still kept finding myself watching the Jumbo-tron even though…
two easy summer staples
GUESS WHAT? Yesterday was my 4 year Spill the Beans Blog-iversary. Can you believe it? That means you must have wasted hours of your life reading my words over the last four years. It’s been a really fun thing for me to do, and I definitely think it has forced me to get a little…
grilled shrimp tacos
Happy Belated Mother’s Day! I have so many wonderful moms in my life, but I especially love the one who physically gave birth to me. I’m glad I was able to spend the day with her. Or, most of the day. Mother’s Day is the only time of the year where women are allowed to tee off…
grilled salmon
Back to the grind, post Labor Day Weekend fun. As a birthday present to myself, I took my first paid vacation day EVER on Friday, and headed to camp after work on Thursday. I had two IPAs and Kevin gave me a baseball card with his face on it so it was a pretty solid…
shrimp & avocado salad with lime dressing
Well hello there, first 12 hour work day. When I found out I was going to be an hourly employee I was really excited because I figured I would get paid lots and lots of overtime. The GS said “Doc! That’s perfect for you because you have no life and no friends!!” I was 0%…
lemony baked cod
This fish was made for a special reason. One of my BFFs from Loyola, Ian, still lives in Baltimore and we hang out a lot. Partly because we’ve been good friends since freshman year, and partially because he happens to live with the GS. In fact, he’s the GS’s landlord, better known as “slumlord”. One…
salmon with pea & mint pesto
Lately I’ve been hearing about all these new fad diets. The best (worst) one I heard recently was called “the mac & cheese diet.” All you eat is macaroni and cheese. The theory is that you will eventually get sick of it and then ultimately eat less. And in the mean time, you can quickly…
