    the best and worst of whole30;

    June 5, 2018bestwithchocolate@gmail.com

    I’m FREE!  Which is not the appropriate way to think about Whole30, haha.  It’s supposed to be more a lifestyle change and you’re not supposed to binge on all the things you couldn’t have.  But guess what, that’s exactly what I did.  And I won’t lie, I don’t really regret it. For all of you starting Whole30, or in the thick of things, or even just wondering what it’s like, here’s my comprehensive list of food do’s and don’t’s for Whole30 from my first go-around. Favorite breakfast: breakfast nests; This got me through quite a few weekends.  Having a hearty…

    brunch review: ted’s bulletin

    February 16, 2018bestwithchocolate@gmail.com

    I thought it was about time that I shared another review, it’s Ted’s Bulletin that’s up!  We went there for breakfast with a group of friends before hitting up the Herndon Escape room (apparently I’ve gone enough that they recognize my name now…hah).  But this was a deeeelish pre-Escape Room snack!  And we did escape…I’m just saying.  It did take us a while to get seated since there were 6 of us and they only do call-ahead reservations which was a little frustrating since we ended up being a couple minutes late the escape room, but it all worked out.…

    brunch review: piola;

    September 2, 2016bestwithchocolate@gmail.com

    Here’s another brunch spot for you to try out: Piola!  The one we go to is the location in Arlington (an easy walk from the Rosslyn metro stop, FYI).  I’ve heard that there’s one in D.C. but have yet to try that location.  The only difference I’ve heard about is that the one in D.C. is bottomless brunch where as the Arlington location, because of VA liquor laws cannot technically do “bottomless”.  But Piola, and a lot of other restaurants, get around this by allowing you to add endless drinks from a select menu for $1 ea.  Which in some cases I actually…

    This breakfast crescent ring is yumm-ee!  It does take a little bit of effort rather early in the morning I’ll admit, with all the different pieces that go together.  But it was tasty, that’s for sure!  Actually it was tastier than I even expected, but I’m glad it was since it took a little more effort than expected at first glance. The one thing to do next time to make it look even better would be to make the ring a little smaller so that there isn’t quite as large of a hole in the middle.  I think that would make…
