The Beehive

Last Thursday we celebrated Lauren (my beloved roomate)’s 25th birthday. Lauren is one of the nicest, most excellent people I know. And if you happen to be friends with her, you know what I am talking about!

LJ: YOU ROCK.

For the big two-five, a group of us decided to hit up the south end for a fun dinner at a hip location. Said location being… drumroll please…..: The Beehive!

The Beehive is THE place to go in the South End for a trendy time. There’s live music every night, tasty cocktails, and REALLY yummy food.

REALLY yummy food such as…

Poutine (Cheese and Gravy Fries)

OH YES.


Whole Grain Flatbread Pizza with Prosciutto, Ricotta, and Tomato


Braised BBQ Beef Brisket, Twice Baked Potato, Slaw, Corn


Baked Scallops Rockefeller, Creamed Spinach, Beehive Frites with Sage and Sea Salt


Truffled Potato and Cheese Pierogies, Carmelized Onions, Sour Cream


Seafood Fra Diavolo, Scallops, Cod, Clams, Calamarl, Mussels



Happy 25th LJ! Love you forever!!

Headin’ up to the beach today. Sun and sand and a book in my hand. :)

Hello Chocolate, top of the morning to you.

Good Morning.
And a very good Sunday morning it is.
Check out the new “Brownies and Bars” Section on Pioneer Woman’s Tasty Kitchen Website.


My, my. Oh my.
I am freaking out over here these all look TOO delicious.


I LOVE CHOCOLATE.

There. I said it. And I’m never taking it back. Ever.

How’s that for a start to your Sunday? Pretty good, right?
Thanks PW, you’re the best.

Enjoy your day, friends!

Izze Sparkling Juice

I love Izze sparkling juice. Do you know it? It’s so yummy and all natural. It’s flavor is different from soda, and better in my humble opinion. Although don’t get me wrong, I do love a good carbonated fountain soda every now and again. Coke, please. Or Dr. Pepper, thanks. BUT if you’re ever in a place that sells Izze Sparkling juice- go for it! They have the most delicious flavors including grapefruit, pomegranate, clementine, and blackberry, apple, lime, blueberry, and peach. So many to choose from!

I enjoyed a blackberry juice today and was immensely satisfied.

So flavorful and has that extra added fizz for a wonderful thirst quenching experience. HIGHLY recommended. Just wonderful.
