Two Kids and a Map

Tomatillos was our favorite discovery in San Antonio, Texas while we were there.  My husband traveled to San Antonio a few years ago and his coworkers took him to this restaurant that he raved about.  Luckily, he remembered the name and we found out that it was just a few minutes away from where we [...]

When we are on the road we try to continue to encourage our kids to try new foods, but sometimes chicken tenders and french fries are just what the traveler ordered!  When we were staying at Wilderness at the Smokies in Sevierville, Tennessee, we decided to help save our budget one afternoon and eat off of the hotel [...]

My mom loves to cook and when she is in a new place she loves to learn how to cook meals popular to the area.  This is one of the travel habits that she has passed on to me.  On our honeymoon, my husband and I took a cooking class on Cajun cuisine.  I try [...]

This time last year, we were spending the holidays in Germany.  These pretzels were our favorite Christmas market indulgence as we wandered through Germany and Austria.  Well, that and the waffles and the marzipan, and the chocolate and the Viennese cakes and the…ok.  The pretzels were not our only indulgence, but they certainly are one of the [...]
