Historically, I've never liked pears. Until recently, I've found pears to have a mealy texture with a unpleasant too-thick skin. This was how I felt until...I tried an Asian Pear. I admit I was biased thinking all pears must taste the same, Asian pears are delightful! They are much sweeter, and more apple-like in texture. Several arrived in my CSA box this week and they've already been devoured by my bf and I.
If you've never been a pear person like I was...I challenge you to try an Asian pear. (And a little tip, pair the pear with a savory cheese like bleu or pecorino and enjoy - delish!)
It's official - the bf and I are heading to New Orleans, Louisiana for a long weekend in January! I've never been, but heard nothing but fabulous things! Can't wait for a romantic getaway. Any recommendations on places to go while in town??
Woohoo! This afternoon, I'm my way to a bachelorette party weekend in Seaside, Oregon. So excited for some good wine, gossip, and quality girl time! Happy pre-wedding bash Anna!
Mushroom lasagna - sounds dreamy right? I made Ina Garten's recipe through the lens of Smitten Kitchen. While the lasagna wasn't too difficult to make, it did require a lot of pans (4!). Translation = a lot of dishes. On the upside, it tasted delicious!
