Driving the California Coast
After running the gauntlet of the deadly LA traffic we turned our car into highway 1 to begin one of the most beautiful drives of our trip. The coastal California highway took us through Santa Barbra where we stopped for a great SoCal lunch. This drive also offered gorgeous views of the Channel Islands National […]
Livermore…Not Less
Did you know that great wines are made in the California’s Livermore valley? Everyone knows about the great wines produced in Napa and Sonoma, but Livermore? Maybe not!

This being said, a whole turkey yields a lot of meat and although we love Thanksgiving leftovers, when it […]
A Family Meal
When vacationing on Lake Leelanau in Michigan, Brian and I had a great time. With wonderful views of amazing lakes and great food who wouldn’t? With the Kaderavek family, one always eats well. With Brian’s brother-in-law, Ben, and his Dad, Dave, also being great cooks, it was fun to cook together. We had one special […]
Places We’ve Been
Staring in May 2010 we began a tour of the United States, Canada and Europe in an effort to find new cuisines, tastes, places and people. Everywhere we went we found much to enjoy and what could possibly be better than traveling together, seeking out great places and food? This trip has really opened our […]
