With 2018 winding down, I’m thinking back to all of my favorite things I ate this year including dumplings, steak tartare, sunchokes and a toasted marshmallow.

Columbia, MD: Season’s 52
I’ve been on a major healthy eating kick lately. I’m talking way more meals at home and a more mindful approach into what I put in my body. But let’s be honest, that doesn’t mean I always want to stay at home cooking myself dinner. There’s something to […]
Recipe: Powerhouse Chicken and Veggie Sandwich with SunButter Dressing
Even though I’m no longer in school, September to me is still ‘back to routine’. And I settle back into my routine of cooking more and bringing lunches to work right after Labor Day. But whatever I’m in the mood to make, #GiantHasIt. I’m very much a ‘go […]
Recipe: Charred Corn Crab Cakes with Watermelon Rind Slaw
Baltimore is all about crabs year round, but especially in the summer. When the Maryland Blue Crab hits peak season people go absolutely crazy for these crustaceans. Personally, crab isn’t my favorite thing in the world, but when I see a recipe that is going to bring out […]
Glen Burnie, MD: Vino Volo
If you have time to kill before a flight – there are few things you can find in an airport better than a lovely wine bar. Recently, I was in BWI and my flight was delayed so I ducked into Vino Volo for some wine and snacks to […]

West Village, NYC: Don Angie
Dinner with my family in NYC is always such a treat. My brother picks an amazing spot and the four of us share some delicious dishes. Most recently, we ate at Don Angie in the West Village and it was another fantastic meal.
Recipe: Honey OLD BAY Glazed Salmon with Pineapple Mango Salsa
I didn’t grow up in Maryland, but since moving here I’ve quickly fallen in love with the unofficial spice of the region, OLD BAY. Traditionally served on steamed crabs, I’ve taken to dusting this spice on all of my favorite foods, french fries and corn being two of […]
Lewes, DE: Bethany Blues BBQ
There are so many great restaurants along the Delaware shore and one of my favorite spots to grab a bite after a day at the beach is Bethany Blues BBQ. I always find something new and delicious on the menu and it’s the perfect place to grab a bite […]
