A mere 730 days ago, or two years in normal-people’s counting, I put on a big white dress, got my hair curled, put on turquoise shoes and walked down the aisle to marry the love of my life, best friend, and partner-in-crime. I truly cannot imagine my life without Adam in it, and am grateful [...]

After the forgotten cheese, I was looking forward to lasagna all day. Seriously, all stinking day I was thinking about noodles layered with cheese, spinach, and sauce. And then my friend asked me to cover her scholastic bowl meet (Nerd Herd, as we call it) and the next thing I knew it was 4:30 and [...]

Hi What’s For Dinner Readers! J My name is Allison, and I ramble on about food, puggles, and wine over on my blog – Green Dog Wine. When I saw Mara needed guest posters – I hopped at the chance because: 1: I heart Mara, and 2: I heart What’s for Dinner! I posted this [...]
