Goodness, it has been a LONG while since I’ve posted a new post– practically a whole year! My life the past year has not been as silent as Globetrotter Diaries has been as I have been in the trenches of law school. But with almost half of school behind me, I’ve undertaken a new project. [...]

Who says a pesto has to be green? This version of pesto celebrates the walnut in all its glory with a simple combination of ricotta, garlic, parmesan, and olive oil.

One month into my first year in law school and as I had anticipated time is not on my side. So when I had a window of opportunity this weekend to do something beside studying or sleeping, I gave my knives a little food lovin’ and made some panzanella. Panzanella is one of those incredibly [...]

This week, Karen and I got to make one of my favorite foods of all time: sushi. I’ve often posed the question to friends and family of what their last meal on earth would be if they could choose it and although I personally waver between tacos, pizza and chocolate chip cookies for my second [...]
