So, what is Pilau a rice anyway? Wonder no more! This dish consists of a light fragrant long grain rice with toasted cumin and peas, a perfect side for any Indian dish! Click here to skip the story and go right to the recipe! If you’ve read our blog on Risotto you will know that […]
They weren’t kidding about Thailand. It really is paradise here! Our first stop was Krabi, more specifically Ao Nang Beach. We chose this spot initially because it was in the zone of “free pick up” for the ferry to Phuket. Not knowing anything about this area when booking, except for the fact that they […]
Wow! We’d both heard so many amazing things about Prague but we were so blown away by this charming city! Neither of us really knew much about it or what to expect, just that it was a place we had to visit. As we start talking about these Central/Eastern European countries, we have to […]
We went back and forth…The logical thing to do when heading to London from Strasbourg would be to take the train to Paris Gare de l’Est then transfer to the Eurostar. But what fun is that?! We had family to visit in Germany anyway! So we were off! We left the beautiful French Alsace region […]
Spain, the land of Tapas, Wine, Siestas and Sangria y mucho mas! While we wanted to revisit some areas we’ve seen before, we wanted to make sure to see new places as well. We fell in love with Spain on our last visit. We visited Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid, San Sebastián, Pamplona (we saw the running […]
Okay, we both love you, but that doesn’t sound as sexy in French! 12 lovely days in one of our all time favorite cities, Paris! We’re posting this in 2 parts – This one is a super long post (we had 12 days there after all!) and we just love Paris so much, we… […]
Hi. We’re Julie and Dean. Our passions in life are each other (of course!) food, wine and travel. “I’m gonna take you to Paris!” That was probably one of the first things I heard from Dean in the beginning of our relationship. Okay so, at first that might be weird to hear from someone you’re…
When figuring out where we should go to celebrate my big 30th birthday, we set (almost!) no limits. First idea was Paris because, well, it’s Paris! As the cooler months started to settle in, however, a warmer and more tropical location became the more obvious choice. Where though?! Bahamas? Turks and Caicos? All inclusive or […]

You can’t love every place you go… right? Bangkok is a city. Just like any other city, Just with some more questionable areas. Maybe if we’d come here before seeing other parts of Thailand first, we’d be more impressed? We were pretty confused and unsure when trying to figure out where to stay. […]
Well, 24 hours of travel with the strangest transfer in China and we finally landed in our favorite city… Paris! Even if only there for a day, the second we got a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower we were immediately re-energized and excited to be back in Europe. It just so happened that one of […]

So glad we were able to make Hungary work on this trip! We didn’t think we would originally, but pushing it a few extra hours in our rental car was well worth the trip! Soon after getting to our centrally located hotel, Ibis Budapest City, which we booked on Hotels.com through Ebates (click our link […]
