Sushi with Kaitie!

Kaitie, my intern from Summer 2013, came back to town for her Thanksgiving break!

We ate sushi at Choe's Asian Bistro at The Greene and sunomono & sashimi were excellent! Our waiter was hilarious! He even went shopping while we were there and showed us what he bought!

Christmas at The Greene!

Merry Christmas!!!!!! The season has begun at the Greene with a tree lighting ceremony!!!!!
Thank you Chris & Angela for inviting us to your pre-ceremony party :) and what perfect timing! Snow for the shortest parade I've ever seen & tree lighting!

This is one of my new favorite place!!!! Panache 224 is just so posh & delicious!!!!! We love the crab cake corn dogs, sushi & pure white cotton candy for dessert!!!!! 

Restaurant Review- Mamma DiSalvos

Arguably one of the best Italian restaurants in the Dayton Area! 

Had to get one of three of my favorite dishes! Pasta with garlic, Chicken Marsala & Clam Linguini!

Must try their salad & get Homemade Limoncello for dessert!

Dayton Pumpkin Glow!

What a fantastic unique & amazing tradition in Dayton!!!

Blueberry Cafe in Bellbrook

Our friends recommended The Blueberry Cafe in Bellbrook! We then ran into other friends who recommended the quiche & pancakes!

The peach pancake is to die for! As are the famous muffins baked by Tim the Muffin Man!

Visiting Mike in NYC

Visiting Mike's Work in New York City is a lot of excitement & lots of running around!

Hey! I think I know that guy :)

His coworkers & boss are amazing, too!

Lots of great food & conversations!

BEHIND THE SCENES- Children's Hospital Charity Dinner

Our country radio station K99.1FM is raising money for Dayton's Children's Hospital and is holding a series of events!

Famous singer & winner of The Voice (Team Blake!) Cassadee Pope generously volunteered her time and talent to help raise money! She flew (with her entourage) to Dayton to tour the hospital and have an intimate live performance at The beavercreek Milano's!

The Mayor of Beavercreek named Wednesday- Cassadee Pope Day!

Thanks K99 for inviting me & allowing me to hang out with our littlest fans!!!! Also, Cassadee, it was fun! (She's so super sweet)

Restaurant Review- Choe's Asian Bistro

Whenever I dine out with girlfriends, we often end up at The Greene! Although Natalie and I ended up at The Greene again, I tried a new place!

Choe's Asian Bistro has a cool modern fusion feel with a large menu selection!

I was pleasantly content with my choice of tea- Jasmine Peach!

My "Dayton" sushi roll and seaweed salad were delicious!!!! I do believe Natalie enjoyed her chicken lettuce wraps!

Restaurant Review- Pies & Pints

This #foodie lover is always happy at Pies & Pints!!!!!! A big group of us girls went to Pies & Pints for opening night at the Greene, thanks to the wonderful recommendation by Alexa!!!

I've already returned several times! Love the raspberry lambic, btw!!!

This time, Alexa and I went back to finish an entire large grape pizza!!!!
