219 Restaurant Review
If you’re ever in D.C.. you definitely have to take some time to wander around Old Town Alexandria. Pete and I enjoy going to the Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings, then roaming in and out of shops on King Street or checking out the old row homes on the neighboring roads. Over the years, we [...]
WIAW: I’m Joining That Band-Wagon
I thought I would join the What I Ate Wednesday (WIAW) band-wagon to give you all a little taste of what I’ve been eating on the Body-for-Life Challenge. That and I don’t have any new recipes at the moment. I thought it would be hard doing the Challenge as a vegetarian, but honestly, it’s been [...]
(Make Fun of Me) Music Monday
I’ll admit that I listen to some fairly embarrassing music sometimes. Some of my music choices would lead others to think I was a 26-year-old going on 13. Especially since my bosses daughter is 13 and loves some of the same music. Whatever. I also didn’t want to admit to my boyfriend last night that while I [...]
Spicy Lemon Shrimp
Oh, shrimp. I have missed you so much. Thank you for coming back into my diet. It’s obviously been a while since the last time I cooked any kind of shellfish, let alone shrimp. You would think I would go with my favorite shrimp dish (I’ll share that another time), but I decided to do [...]

Oh well, I guess you’ll have to wait for this Friday since I haven’t eaten anywhere new since then So yesterday today I wanted [...]
Foodie Friday: Astor Mediterranean
My first apartment in DC was near this little restaurant called Astor Mediterranean. For the longest time, I assumed the food wouldn’t be very good because it was the only eatery nearby. This is their other location in Adams Morgan, not the one that was by my house, but same owners One day, as I [...]
Cumin Crusted Tilapia
You may be wondering “why in the heck is she cooking fish?! Isn’t she vegetarian?” Well, I will explain that… after the recipe. I have actually never cooked tilapia before in my life and didn’t realize how easy it would be! 5 minutes under the broiler… that’s it! Not to mention, it has a very [...]
Music Monday: DJ Lindsay Luv
i don’t know about you, but i have to listen to music while i work out. otherwise i get distracted by everything going on in the gym and lose focus. my taste in music changes quickly. i get tired of certain songs if i overplay them (which i always do) and then start looking for [...]
German Gourmet
One of the great things about living in DC is that there is a wide range of ethnic restaurants in such close proximity of each other. Near my house alone, you can get anything from Irish to Mediterranean to Ethiopian. I have lived in my neighborhood for nearly a year and have yet to try [...]
