Delicious Destinations: Kentucky Derby Favorites


My dad is a Kentuckian.  Does that mean I am a Kentuckian once removed?  I have never been to the Derby, but I like both wearing hats and drinking bourbon.  So in honor of the Kentucky Derby, I thought I would post my favorite Kentucky recipes.

Road Tested: Room Service Trophy


I eat a lot of room service.  I do not prefer it.  I know that is a champagne problem and things could be a lot worse.  But they could also be better!  But I have a new system that is making things a lot better.  It is very simple - order what I want to eat.  Ignore the menu.  Or use it for inspiration.  But there is no need to stick to it.

Home Detox: Kimberly Snyder's Glowing Green Smoothie


I am a Kimberly Snyder enthusiast.  I read The Beauty Detox Solution the last semester of grad school, and the timing could not have been better.  After two years of boozing, including a semester abroad, I was due for a detox, and really, for a lifestyle change.  I know she has her critics, and I certainly don't follow all of her tenants. But starting the day with hot lemon water followed by her Glowing Green Smoothie makes me feel so great. I can't recommend it highly enough.
