Hunger Games-Inspired Drinks
It wouldn’t be a Geeky Hostess party without some cheesy themed drinks, so these are what I’ll be serving at my Pre-Hunger Games Party tomorrow night! Attendees of my party will begin the night with one slip of paper in the reaping bowl. As the night goes on, they must […]

When the fine folks at @giadavegas let you take the tasting menu back to your hotel room. I'm sure it's not the ideal experience, @giadadelaurentiis, but your tasting menu is still absolutely divine. (And it's helping this COVID-conscious business traveler relax in comfort!)

Easter egg hunts, friends, family, impromptu coordinating family outfits, and more food and chocolate than we know what to do with. Overall, it was a pretty good Easter. Happy Easter to you and yours!
