Taste With Grace

For this sauce, I used 8 vine ripe tomatoes.  I simply diced the and chopped up a handful of basil in my garden and placed them in a large pot to cook down.  I didn't not skin or deseed the tomatoes, like many of the recipes instructed me to do, and honestly I don't think I needed to.  For this sauce, however, I was wanting a chunkier texture, so not getting rid of the skin and seeds probably didn't matter.  When I make sauce to can and freeze, I plan on doing these steps.  While the tomatoes and basil cooked, I sauteed a few cloves of minced garlic and a large white onion (diced) in some olive oil until translucent.  Once finished, I added the onions and garlic to the tomato and basil pot.  I added salt, pepper, and a couple tablespoons of white sugar to the mix and gave it a stir.  I added sugar because tomatoes can be very acidic and the sugar helps to cut down the acid and (obviously) adds a sweetness that I really like.  Then I put it on low heat and let it simmer for a couple of hours! The sauce was absolutely delicious and sooooo fresh.  This recipe made enough sauce for my husband and I and then leftovers.  So probably 4 servings in the end.  Now that I've done fresh tomato sauce, there really IS a huge difference between that and the bottled stuff.  I can't say I'll never use bottles again because they are definitely convenient, but I'll just say that I'll be making this sauce a lot more in the future.  Hope you enjoy! Let me know if you try it! 

I have spent many a day up here in central PA at a local farmers' market.  There are a lot of amazing choices close to me- my absolute favorite choice being the Lewisburg, PA market that is only open on Wednesdays.  Even though it's a 30 minute drive from my house, it's definitely worth the drive.  Plus hello gorgeous, scenic drives pretty much anywhere you go around here.  The first time I went to the Lewisburg market, these beautiful strawberries caught my eye and I couldn't resist buying up a whole bunch of them, even though I didn't necessarily have a plan for what to do with them right away.  Aside from just eating them as is, which is always a good idea.  I sent this put this photo out on my IG and asked my lovely followers for their ideas- and I got some pretty awesome ideas! I absolutely love the foodie community that I have become a part of in the IG world and continue to be inspired by my followers and those I am following on a daily basis.  

One of my followers suggested making a strawberry pizza, which I thought was a fabulous idea.  And she even shared her recipe with me.  This is an amazing dessert idea- with the crust being like a shortbread/sugar cookie, the sauce being a cool whip/cream cheese frosting, and then the toppings being sugar coated strawberries.  There's something so classic about the flavors of a strawberry shortcake- and I never tire of them.  You could replicate this in any fashion you choose- the size of this one was probably like a 10in diameter person pan pizza size, but you could make smaller sugar cookie ones, or even turn it into a sugar cookie bar type of thing.  I'm a fan of not being restricted to a recipe and getting creative!

After making a sweet dessert type of pizza, it got me thinking about how I could make a savory dinner pizza using strawberries.  I have learned over and over again that I absolutely love the combination of strawberries and goat cheese so I knew that I wanted to use this flavor combination for my pizza.  I then added basil, parmesan cheese and a balsamic glaze on top to finish it off.  The cheeses and strawberries were baked with the crust.  The basil and glaze were added after just FYI.  The flavor of the roasted strawberries was perfectly paired with the basil and balsamic glaze.  My husband and I couldn't eat it fast enough! I have no used these same ingredients for bruschetta, salads, etc.  Don't let the idea that strawberries are a fruit stop you from using them in savory dishes!

After using up all of my strawberries from the farmers' market, I got invited by a friend to go strawberry picking.  I had never been strawberry picking, so I jumped at the chance.  My son especially loved this outing and ate entire strawberries with the green leaves and everything! haha I couldn't keep up with him- he was loving it!

As I was picking the strawberries, I just knew that I wanted to make a strawberry cake.  My grandmama had THE best strawberry cake and I used to always request it whenever I could.  Unfortunately we misplaced her recipe and she has passed away so asking her about it isn't really an option.  I was determined to make one similar to hers though, and fortunately pinterest didn't disappoint.  I found a really great recipe here. It tasted similar to my grandmama's and I thought of her as I enjoyed it.  I served this at a potluck dinner for my husband's coworkers and everyone loved it.  It was super moist and the frosting was out of this world good.  It was a fresh strawberry buttercream.  One trick to make frosting the cake easier is to freeze the cake layers first so that they are stiff.  Adding the fresh strawberries to this frosting makes it runnier than normal, so having your cake frozen makes it easier.  And it defrosts very quickly, so you don't need to worry about serving frozen cake!  

Strawberries are the perfect summer food- so I hope you have enjoyed reading about the recipes I have shared.  Even though summer is almost over, it's not too late! Go to a farmer's market close to you soon!

Recipe number 2: Grilled Teriyaki chicken lettuce wraps.  My inspiration behind this dinner is actually an appetizer you can get at the Cheesecake factory- the thai lettuce wraps.  For the cucumbers- cut up as many as you want- for me and my husband I cut up 3.  My cucumbers are not very big though.  Then place them in a bowl and soak them in rice vinegar with a spoonful of sugar and salt and pepper.  Let them soak for a few minutes before eating, but it really doesn't take long to get the flavor in.  This is basically just quick pickling the cucumbers before eating.  And it is absolutely delicious.  For these lettuce wraps, I recommend using boston or bibb lettuce.  It seems to work the best.  For the chicken, I just used the teriyaki marinade I used in a recipe I had eaten before.  you can find the recipe here.  Then the noodles are just cooked vermicelli rice noodles stirred with a homemade thai peanut sauce.  I am going to talk about this thai peanut sauce in a later blog post, but if you are really dying to know- I'll give you the quick ingredients: 2 big spoonfuls of peanut butter, tablespoon of red curry paste, tablespoon of brown sugar, a can of coconut milk, a dash of soy sauce and some hot sauce if desired all cooked on a stove top and stored in the fridge after the fact).  I already had some made up in my fridge so I just used my stash.  Now for the sauce and OMG is it good.  I got the inspiration from the green dipping sauce from Cheesecake factory and from several blogs who did mock ups of it.  What I ended up doing was 1 cup of cilantro, 1/4 cup of cashews, 1/4 cup of honey, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tsp balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper, 2 tsp of white vinegar and 1 tsp of cumin all blended up in a food processor.  And it was incredible.  And easy! God bless the food processor.  I think that every time I use mine.  And that concludes the ingredients in these lettuce wraps- I trust you can figure out how to assemble them :)

Recipe #3: Wheat crackers topped with herbed goat cheese and cucumbers.  Yep- it's as easy as that.  I bough pre- herbed goat cheese, but I'm sure you could make your own.  Always remember to salt and pepper the cucumbers!

Recipe #4: And last of today.  Grilled chicken and cucumber spring rolls! I tried out using spring roll paper for the first time and it was a huge success! And so easy! We used a pie dish filled with water.  You soak a paper for a few seconds (yes only a few seconds!) and pull it out then fill it with whatever you want! I added grilled chicken (seasoned with creole seasoning), pickled cucumbers (like in the lettuce wraps) and plain vermicelli noodles.  Then drizzled my thai peanut sauce in there.  Oh and I added cilantro! So good.  So fresh.  And healthy! My husband kept saying these were definitely a make again!

So yes, we have been eating a lot of cucumbers, but I wouldn't change it.  Nothing beats eating veggies that you grew yourself.  So so good.  I'm going to take on more veggies next year! I'm happy to be back in the blogging world.  Let me know your thoughts! 

Ok first of all, I need to make an announcement.  We are moving! Those who know me personally already know this.  I absolutely hate to leave St. Louis- especially all of the food of St. Louis :) But the hubs is graduating from medical school and we are headed to a small town in Pennsylvania called Danville.  We will be there for at least a year, not sure after that.  So I guess I need to eat all of the St. Louis goodness I can before I leave.  And then I can become a north east foodie :) 

With that being said- for our "congrats on the match" dinner, we went to Katie's Pizza and Pasta located on Manchester.  I have been wanting to go here for a while now and we finally had the opportunity do it.  We got a few apps, some pastas and some pizzas and shared everything.  And EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious.  I wish I would have gotten more pictures, but it is actually quite dark in there and we went at night, so we only managed to snap a quick pic of one of the appetizers before the sun set.  Pictured below is the artichoke toasted ravioli.  I'm a huge fan of toasted raviolis in general, but having artichoke on the inside was incredible, especially with the pesto on top.  I didn't want it to end, but unfortunately all good things must.  We also tried the burrata with seasonal figs and prosciutto.  Figs and prosciutto are a match made in heaven, so this dish was definitely a good choice.  The pear salad was our next choice which included red pear, ricotta, dried fig, walnuts, swiss chard, honey and a balsamic vinaigrette.  The pears were perfectly crisp and well balanced with the acid of the vinaigrette and the sweetness of the honey.  Yum!  For our pizza choices, we got the Fig and Squash (can you tell I like figs yet?) withe roasted butternut squash, figs, pancetta, fresh mozzarella, goat cheese, sage, balsamic and fresh arugula.  You can't go wrong with this pizza.  Sage and Squash=perfection.  Goat cheese, ummmm yes. And the fresh mozzarella makes a huge difference as well as the fresh arugula on top.  I was wanting the lick the plate.  We also had the wood roasted chicken pizza with roasted garlic, chicken, dandelion greens, caramelized shallots, goat cheese and gorgonzola.  The sweetness of the caramelized shallots with the garlic and herbs on the chicken was such a good pairing.  This pizza was absolutely fantastic.  

Overall I can't say enough about how great Katie's was.  The only thing I will warn you about is that you need to have a reservation if you don't want to wait forever! But like I always say, if you have to wait a while, that means it's goooood.  And this was :)

I had a friend come in town and I loved the opportunity to once again eat my way through St. Louis.  Out of town guests are always good for that, right? We headed down town to eat at Bailey's range.  I'm a sucker for a good burger.  My choice for this time was the longhorn, which was an aged sirloin patty topped with salsa, guacamole, queso, and chipotle mayo.  The meat was perfectly seasoned and the mayo added the right amount of kick.  We also got some fries to share and they were so good- especially with the cheddar dipping sauce! All of their dipping sauces were great, but the cheddar was my personal favorite.  

Of course I have to take all out of towners to Ted Drewes, and this was no exception.  My go to flavor at Ted's is the oreo banana concrete.  I have gotten the same flavor every time (with the occasional, later regretted, exception) since I was a little girl.  I have had other flavors from tasting friend's, and they have been very good, but there's just something about the oreo banana that I can't veer away from.  

My husband and I tried out a new Ice cream place by Lafayette square called Clementine's naughty and nice ice creamery.  They offer booze infused (naughty) flavors as well as more family friendly ones (nice).  They are the only micro creamery in St. Louis and offer a wide variety of unique flavors like bacon jam + black pepper, cardamom and gooey butter cake.  We tried the nutella, gooey butter cake and salted caramel crack.  We actually tried more than that... but those 3 were our final decision.  The ice cream was perfectly creamy and very high quality and the flavors were delicious.  My personal favorite was the gooey butter cake.  I'm excited to see what new flavors they will have for the summer!

On our way to the botanical gardens, we hit up World's Fair Donuts because why not? After sampling multiple, my favorite was just the original glazed.  I'm a purist when it comes to donuts.  And this was absolutely delicious.  Very light and airy and perfectly glazed.  So good!

We leave at the end of May, so I'm getting in all of the St. Louis goodness while I still can! It's all happening way too fast!

I have been eating well lately! And here's the proof:

This Bulgogi pork is another recipe I found from my favorite food blog- jocooks.com.  Seriously check it out if you haven't already.  I got her daily email with this recipe in it and instantly knew that I needed to try it.  Bulgogi is traditionally a Korean dish made of thinly sliced marinated beef and then grilled.  This recipe, however, uses similar marinating techniques, but with a pork tenderloin instead.  The best part of this was how easy it is to make.  Keep in mind however, that you do have to let your meat marinate for some time.  I have made this multiple times now and usually marinate the pork in the morning until it is time to cook it for dinner that night.  You can marinate it for less time, but that is just what works for me.  The marinade include a shredded pear, which brings a distinct delicious sweetness and red chili flakes, which brings the heat.  This is quite a spicy dish- so leave out the red chili flakes if you don't like spice.  I can't get over how good this was and am kind of craving it right now... :) Go check out the recipe here!

Now this next meal is my ULTIMATE go to meal.  My mother first taught me to make this when I was a young girl and I have been making it ever since.  I absolutely love chicken parmesan and it is a crazy good comfort food for me.  I especially love making it because I don't need a recipe.  I have made it enough to have it memorized.  I will still share my go to meal with you- it's very quick and easy! 

You will need: 

Chicken tenderloins (or thinly pounded breasts)

 an egg

Italian style bread crumbs

parmesan cheese (the shake kind)

olive oil

 tomato basil spaghetti sauce (whatever brand you like- I use the Aldi brand and love it)

 mozzarella cheese 

spaghetti

The amount needed of the above ingredients all depends on how many people you are feeding.  I typically do 2 tenderloins per person or one breast.  Cook the spaghetti according to the package and you can do as much or as little as you like.  Get two bowls.  Fill the first one with a beaten egg and the second one with equal parts of bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.  For my husband and I (4 tenderloins), I would say use half a cup of each.  Mix it together.  Heat a pan on the oven with olive oil on medium high heat.  Dip the chicken in the egg and then coat it in the bread crumb mixture and then pan fry them.  Leave them on one side until theres only a strip of pink on the top and then flip for 2 or 3 minutes to finish off.  While still in the pan, pour the spaghetti sauce over the chicken breasts (for 4 tenderloins, I use about half of a regular sized bottle) and then top with mozzarella cheese.  Cover the pan for a few minutes until the sauce is warmed through and the cheese is melted.  Once the cheese is melted, removed from heat and put the chicken on top of a pile of spaghetti.  Then enjoy!

I threw a baby shower a few weekends ago and decided to do quiche for the main food.  I got this recipe for a ham and asparagus quich here. With quiche, however, you just need a basic recipe and then can go wild with what you put in it.  For the crusts, I just used pre-made pie crusts.  I have made my own crusts before and it was delicious.  This time around, however, I was more on a time crunch and went with the pre-made pie crusts. This particular recipe pictured is very good because it has cream cheese in it- which I had never used in a quiche before.  And it was very good! But use your imagination- if you don't have asparagus, use broccoli, or peppers or any veggie really.  And you can use bacon or sausage instead of ham.  Really just use what you think would be good!

I had these amazing barbeque nachos (not the ones I mentioned 2 posts ago, although those were also good) around Halloween of last year and I have been thinking of them ever since.  I finally decided to just go ahead and make my own! And I was very pleased with the result.  And nothing is easier than nachos, right? I used the crock pot to make my BBQ pork- which was simply a pork tenderloin cooked in barbeque sauce.  Then I topped the nachos with white cheddar cheese, the BBQ pork, baked beans (say what?! I had never thought to do this until the nachos I had around Halloween.  Game changer!), an extra drizzle of BBQ sauce, cilantro, and green onions.  Then you just bake until the cheese is melted.  Also here is a tasty little secret.  Double layer your nachos.  Seriously.  Chips, cheese, the goods, and then another layer of chips, cheese and the goods.  This will prevent you from eating all of the yummy stuff off of the top and then having naked chips left over.  We topped it with sour cream afterwards as well.  Other tasty additions could be tomatoes or avocado/guacamole.  They are sooo good. Hope you get to enjoy them soon, and if you do, let me know!

It's been awesome cooking and eating these creations! As always, I'd love to hear whenever you try something out or have a recipe in mind for me to try.  

Love,

Grace

I'm really enjoying writing this blog and posting my pictures to Instagram.  I hope you all are enjoying reading it.  Any and all feedback is welcome- I want to know how to make this blog better and something you all want to read!  I want to branch out to cover other topics like meal planning, kitchen tips, kitchen techniques, etc.  More on that later!

I first made the Sweet Fire Chipotle Chicken bowls a few months ago because my friend from church has an awesome food blog so I wanted to try out one of her recipes.  And this one was definitely a good pick.  The cilantro lime black bean rice is amazing to start out.  And then the Chicken is slightly spicy (but not too much) with broccoli to top it off.  The flavors are sweet and spicy- which is my favorite combination- due to the use of chipotles in adobo.  For those of you who don't know, you can buy a can of chipotles in adobo and then store it in your fridge in an air tight container for quite a long time.  Both the sauce and the chilies can be used in various recipes.  The recipe for this dinner can be found here. 

I'm usually very into meal planning.  In fact, I plan my meals out on a monthly basis.  Sometimes I look at what I'm supposed to make, however, and am just not feeling it.  I don't really remember what I was supposed to make one night, but I wasn't feeling it, and turned to my quick ham and pea bow tie pasta instead.  This is my "I don't feel like cooking" dish- even though it does require some cooking obviously.  But not much! You make a simple roux white sauce first.  I always make a big batch because my husband loves this and likes to have leftovers.  So for an entire box of bow tie pasta, I do 3 or 4 table spoons of butter melted with an equal amount of tablespoons of flour.  Once you mix those, you slowly whisk in milk a little at a time until the sauce is the thickness that you want it to be.  Once you get it there, add the seasoning that you want.  I do it differently every time, but it generally includes salt, pepper, garlic powder, minced onions and possibly dried basil or italian seasonings.  The key is to taste the sauce as you go so that you get it to be the taste that you want.  Boil the pasta and add the peas in for the last few minutes to get them heated up.  Then add the sauce to the peas and pasta with some diced ham (bacon or pancetta is also good!) and top with parmesan cheese.  You can also switch out the peas for asparagus, broccoli, or really anything you want.  Very simple and delicious. 

Ben and I are really into making pizzas and end up making them regularly.  And I am proud to announce that we have finally mastered the art of using a pizza stone after many attempts in the beginning.  The key is to have the stone be in the oven first so that it is hot when you put the dough on and to use a LOT of corn meal.  You can also use parchment paper.  The pizza crust recipe that I use can be found here.  I always double it because we always end up making two pizzas because we always invite people over when we are making pizzas.  And our two favorites to make are the Brussels sprout bacon pizza and the breakfast pizza.  Both are good and we can never decide which one we like best.  

The brussels sprouts (by the way I just learned that the correct term is brusselS sprouts, not brussel sprouts, like I thought all along. But you probably already knew that) pizza has a rosemary creamy white sauce and is topped with bacon and mozzarella cheese.  The official recipe can be found here.

I am proud to say that I invented the breakfast pizza.  Or at least I thought of this version on my own without looking at a recipe.  There are probably lots of similar recipes out there.  It has salsa for the sauce (we use a hot habanero salsa), and then is topped with bacon, hash browns (that were cooked in the bacon grease!!), and mozzarella cheese on top.  Then a fried egg goes on top of that! Drool.  Hash browns on a pizza you ask?! Yes. A thousand times yes. 

And here are some pizza making tips that I have learned along the way.  Preheat the oven to 400 with the pizza stone in it.  Put a generous amount of corn meal on your pizza peel and on your stone once you are ready to go.  Put the dough on the peel (that you have rolled out into the desired shape) and top with whatever toppings you would like- the possibilities are truly endless and bake for around 12-15 minutes.  I would check on it at 12 minutes and go from there.  The crust needs to be slightly browned and the cheese will be bubbly. Then to get the pizza off of the pizza stone, you can use your hand (with an oven mitt on of course) to kind of push it back onto the peel or use a very thin cutting board to slide it under and put it onto the peel.  

My final meal I will be discussing is curry.  I made this for a friend who just had a baby last week and she also happens to be vegan.  I make curry all the time and was happy to realize that it is a vegan friendly meal since it uses coconut milk and I just left the meat that I usually put in out.  The best part about curry is how easy and delicious it is.  I have every possible color of curry paste in my fridge with lots of coconut milk in my food storage so that curry is always an option. You an find curry paste at any international or asian grocery store.  Walmart and other normal grocery stores do have red or green curry paste but it is a tiny container and usually more expensive, just FYI.  For this particular curry, I used every vegetable imagineable (zucchini, broccoli, onion, asparagus, peppers, peas, mushrooms, carrots, and potatoes), but usually I either use whatever vegetables I have in my fridge or just choose 3 or 4.  I also usually put chicken in there, but you can do any meat you want really.  You start by pouring some olive oil in a pan along with some curry paste.  In order to feed my family (my husband and I since my baby doesn't eat curry usually) I end up using 2 chicken tenderloins and one can of coconut milk.  Which means that for the curry paste, I would use 2-3 tablespoons, depending on the color.  The more you put in, the spicier it is, but if you don't put enough in, it won't taste like curry.  The 2-3 tablespoons is the low end of curry that you should put in.  For this particular time, I used yellow curry, which is not very spicy.  So you cook your curry in the oil with your meat (if you chose to do a meat) until it is cooked almost all the way through and then add the onion and other vegetables that you chose to do.  Let them cook a little to kind of get soft and so they are coated in the curry and oil.  Add the coconut milk (unsweetened) and cover.  Bring it to a boil and then let simmer until the vegetables are the desired tenderness.  This will usually take around 10 minutes, unless potatoes are one of the vegetables you chose, then it usually takes a little longer.  Then you are done! Spoon over rice and enjoy.  I always add cashews in once it is done because it adds a delicious flavor and crunch.  Don't put them in until the end because they will get too soft and chewy if you boil them with everything else.  

Thanks for reading! Let me know about your kitchen adventures!

Love,

First things first- I went to Memphis! I had a lovely time with an old friend and we got to eat some delicious food.  She is a fellow foodie so it was perfect.  Of course we had to get barbeque in Tennessee so we headed over to Central BBQ.  I had been here before on a previous trip to Memphis and enjoyed it so was happy to go again.  Last time I got ribs (what I ALWAYS get at BBQ places) and they were divine- I would definitely recommend them.  This time around I decided to branch out and get the BBQ Nachos.  Also a very good choice.  We got a side of mac and cheese for the babes and some potato salad which were both very yummy.  I would highly recommend this BBQ place and will definitely go again next time I'm in Memphis.  

We also went to the famous Arcade Restaurant for a delicious breakfast.  And the thing to get there is the sweet potato pancakes.  They were sooooo good.  Both my friend and I got them and both give them two thumbs up.  So I guess four thumbs up? As you know, I love breakfast food and always enjoy an opportunity to go out for breakfast. 

Now back to St. Louis.  We went to Steve's hot dogs- the Tower Grove location the other night because first of all, it is on our block, secondly, it has outdoor seating and the weather has been ahhhhmazing, and thirdly we have been here before and love it.  So I was happy to go back and feature it on my blog and instagram.  I have tried multiple things there and all have been good.  I will say though, that this hot dog that I got this time is probably the best one I've had yet.  I got the Imo's sausage dog (you can get whatever kind of dog you want, but ummmm yes please to Imo's sausage!) With a white alfredo rigatoni on top with bacon crumbles and parmesan cheese.   Holy cow was it good! And soooo bad for me.  They have lots of great choices- including the Bacon Bacon Jamaican which my husband got and I have had before.  Delicious.  They also have macaroni and cheese bowls which are delicious.  Good eats and a good price too!

I absolutely love asian food and am always on the hunt for delicious Vietnamese food.  I got a recommendation to try Bahn Mi So 1- the home of the best spring rolls in St. Louis and it was really good! I got the crispy pork spring rolls and thoroughly enjoyed them.  We also split a bahn mi pork sandwich and a chicken curry dish.  Unfortunately my pictures of them did not turn out, but they were very very good! The best part was that it was so affordable! The bahn mi sandwich was only $3.50.  Yes please! 

Now my next recommendation has been my favorite place I've eaten at recently.  But as I've said before, Italian sandwiches are like my thing.  I went to Gioia's deli where they are famous for their hot salami.  First of all- the service was excellent.  We walked in and the staff gave us recommendations as well as a sample of their famous salami (yum!). Gioia's is located on the hill.  I ended up getting the Italian Trio sandwich which was TO DIE FOR.  Love at first bite.  The meats were mortadella, Genova and the hot salami served on garlic cheese bread and garnished with lettuce, tomato, onion, pepperocinis, mayo, oil and vinegar and provel cheese.  As a true St. Louisan, I had to get the provel cheese :) And it was all delicious.  I'm already wanting to go back.  My husband got the porknado which was hot salami, bacon and ham on garlic bread.  Also delicious- especially with the sriracha mayo and jalepenos on top.  

I met up with a girlfriend for lunch the other day at Russel's on Macklind.  I had heard this place was really good and wanted to give it a try.  I got the chicken pot pie soup and the grilled chicken and smoked gouda toasted sandwich.  Both good choices.  The chicken pot pie soup was my favorite especially with the biscuits dunked in.  The sandwich had caramelized onions on it and garlic mayo which made it very tasty.  

We also indulged a little and got dessert there.  My friend got the luxurious chocolate cake which tasted as good as it looks and I went for the classic gooey butter cake- also a good choice.  We were both pleased with our experience at Russell's!

Let me know if you have recommendations for restaurants! I love trying new places and visiting old favorites. :)

Love,

Grace
