  • Drank some whiskey and snagged a few peanut butter blossoms off the most chic wedding cookie table; cut a rug and forgot to take a picture of Dan and I multiple times; gorged ourselves at the best spot for house-made *everything* with the coolest menus, and even did a quick little jaunt to.some waterfalls. Not a bad way to spend a weekend in the Maryland woods. 🌲🍂💒🏕️ . . . . . #deepcreekmd #moonshadowcafe #bluemoonrising #weddinginthewoods #vintageglassware #weddingcookietable #muddycreekfalls #swallowfallsstatepark #vintagevinyl
  • Strolled past the Maisel family's favorite brisket source this afternoon. ❤️🥩
  • My work is never done, because even though it's 8:15pm and I'm exhausted, there are still a few hours left in National Pierogi Day, so you have time to go buy this online if for some inexplicable reason you don't have it already. (Or buy it for a friend. Or buy the one above it too, because snack day is every day!) 🥟♥️
  • Fall. Spiced. Kettle. Corn. Not pumpkin spiced, but fall spiced cause it's got all my favorites like sage, maple sugar, and cardamom. 🍂 Oh, and do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a Whirley Pop before you make this, ok? 🍿 Link in bio per uzh!
  • Found a Lenny gem from the archives while organizing photos today - TBH this is how I feel about apple cider jelly too. Recipe link in bio from Good. Food. Stories.! 🍎😼👀
