hello! i’m jessica
Marketer, Foodie, & travel Blogger
I’m a marketing maven by day, and a restless foodie and travel blogger by night.
I’ve never met a pasta I didn’t like. I’m happiest when eating or cooking with the people I love. I enjoy sipping on fine Italian wine and sifting through my favorite cookbooks. When I’m not crossing new cities off my travel list, my favorite pastime is cooking up tasty recipes while my beagle Amos laps up all the crumbs that fall on the floor.
I can’t wait to take you on my personal foodie and travel journey. Here you’ll find original recipes and many adaptions of my favorites, along with the latest restaurants and coffee joints I’m musing over. You’ll also find travel tips and inspiration as I reflect on past trips and take you behind the scenes of my upcoming adventures.

Here are a few of my favorite things…
- My little beagle boy Amos. He has many nicknames, including Crumb Numb (because he leaves no crumb left behind), Num Num, Numpty Num, Lil boi, and bud.
- Italy. Of all my favorite travel destinations, this one takes the cake. It’s where I studied abroad in college and it’s one of the most beautiful countries on earth. Expect lots of Italian recipes and travel roundups on this blog!
- I love to dance! If there’s music playing, I’m either dancing or choreographing something in my head. I began dance classes at the age of 3 and taught myself how to “moonwalk” after watching a MJ music video when I was 8 years old.
- Coffee! I used to make the terrible hotel room coffee when I was little. My dad would tease me, asking if I accidentally put a dash of coffee in my creamer. 😉 Today, I grind my own beans, I love checking out new coffee shops, and collect interesting mugs on my world travels.
