I don’t normally brag about my own cooking 🥘 but last night I knocked it out of the park with this Farro & Butternut Risotto with Lemon and Rosemary from @marleyspoon. I was super nervous about making risotto for the first time because I watch people mess it up on Chopped all the time! Well it turned out amazing and those people on Chopped really ARE crazy 😜 for trying to make it in under 30 minutes! . . . #homemade #fromscratch #foodie #foodporn #forkyea #food #yum #marleyspoon #baltimorefoodandfun

Still can’t get over how much fun we had on Thursday night at @fogo! The highlight of the night for me was meeting Eulila “Selma” Oliveira, Chief Culture Officer of Fogo de Chão. We had heard her story on our first visit when they released the wine, Eulila, named after her. Not only did we get to meet her but she poured her wine for us! The Queijo Assado was still one of my favorite bites. I just love that squeaky cheese! Hitting the menu just in time for the holidays is the Wagyu steak which is aged 21 days and carved tableside on a Himalayan salt block. Don’t forget to stop by the newly renovated bar on your way in to order a Strawberry Hibiscus Caipirinha and some Brazilian Empanadas! . . . #foodie #foodporn #forkyea #food #yum #raykaexpert #baltimorefoodandfun #fogo #baltimoreeats #charmcity #baltimore #bmoreeats #meat #charmcityeats #bmorefood #eeeeeats #forkyeah #meats #eater #baltimore #yummy #restaurant #tastingtable #zagat #thrillist #local #feedfeed #buzzfeedfood #bmorefoodie #discovercharmcity #mybmore

We had so much fun with the International Wine and Food Society Baltimore chapter last night! They hosted their annual Odd Lots event, where we get to enjoy the leftover bottles from the past year’s dinners.

Happy 244th Birthday to the USMC! We were just babies and look at us now 🥰 It was an adventure the whole ride and so happy that it allowed us to end up here.

Have you made brunch plans today? I went to @citycafebaltimore for brunch yesterday and I can’t help but order the Baltimore Benedict every time I visit. Can you blame me? Look at the Hollandaise Sauce and perfectly poached egg over that crab cake. Perfection! #foodie #foodporn #forkyea #food #yum #raykaexpert #baltimorefoodandfun #brunch #baltimoreeats #charmcity #baltimore #bmoreeats #eggsbenedict #charmcityeats #bmorefood #eeeeeats #crabcake #forkyeah #eater #baltimore #yummy #restaurant #tastingtable #zagat #thrillist #local #feedfeed #buzzfeedfood #bmorefoodie #discovercharmcity #mybmore

I went to my first fashion show this week and it was awesome! @baltimorestylemag knows how to celebrate a 30th Anniversary in style, obviously, and their Big Bash was no exception! The @horseshoebmore was a beautiful venue space! Elsa M. from WMAR’s @midday_maryland was the MC! Fashion Show Coordinator @_lanarae rocked it in her gorgeous gown! We saw Fashions by @astylestudio @christopherschafer @doubledutch_boutique @gianmarcomenswear @jsedwardsltd @synchronicityboutique @smythjewelers and @tuxedo_house. I also got to see two of my friends @theboldbre and @styletome_ walk the runway! I had fun hanging out with @sociallysarahbeth @living_alexis and @tot_tea ! I heard about all this fun thanks to @mixolo_gosolo! @mixolo_gosolo is a going out app where no plus one is required! No one should be opting out of fun things because they can't convince a plus-one. Check them out to see all the fun activities they offer! A portion of the proceeds from the event benefited the new @ronaldmcdonald House in Baltimore which provides lodging, vital resources and compassionate care for families with children requiring medical treatment away from home. #mixolo #justgosolo #thegoingoutapp #noplusonerequired #getout #getsocial #socialgoodtimes #baltimorestyle #bigbash2019 #fashion #style #baltimore #baltimorefoodandfun

Truffle Alert 🚨 Get yourself to @magdalenabaltimore where it is raining truffles right now. The special last night was this black truffle tater tot, topped with a fried egg, and more truffles. Oh my gosh the gooey egg yolk mixed with the potato, sauce, and truffles - it was heaven in my mouth. Then if that wasn’t enough I also enjoyed the foie gras filled pasta with truffles. It was an unforgettable meal for sure! There are also several venison options on the menu right now! We enjoyed Venison Tartare and Seared Venison plus Fried Oysters, Autumn Ceviche, and Sautéed Halibut. We finished the meal with the Bakewell Tart and Sticky Toffee Carrot Cake. It’s always fun sharing our favorite places with friends and I was glad there were 5 of us there to sufficiently sample everything but I’m already planning our trip back to try the things we missed! Thanks for such an epic meal @chefmarklevy!

We don’t have family here in #baltimore so we’ve had to make our own. We’ve found creative ways to spend our Sunday evenings as a replacement for regular Sunday Family dinner. A great option for us is the @scholacooks Sunday Supper cooking classes. We love spending time with @chef_pellegrino and Amy. Last night we enjoyed our @poderecampriano wine while we cooked Sunday Red Sauce, Eggplant Parmesan, Pork Milanese, fresh rigatoni, and Bombolini. There is nothing better than cooking and not having to worry about the cleanup. Have you been to a class at Schola? They have a ton of fun options! We will be there next month on the 21st for their Feast of the Seven Fishes!

This is not a drill! The Butternut Squash Agnolotti is back at @ortobaltimore! It’s so delicious with Madeira, brown butter, and sage. If that doesn’t pique your interest there are plenty of other delicious options like the Mafaldini Alfredo. We made it to the entree course by splitting the the Lamb Mixed Grill with porterhouse and sausage, romanesco, duck fat sweet potatoes, and hazelnut romesco. It’s always fun introducing one of your favorite restaurants to friends like @onthemoveforfood. Wish I was back eating pasta already!

It was a weekend of deliciousness which we continued with Brunch at @fiolamaredc! They offer a 3-Course Champagne Brunch for $75, which I indulged in. First up is the Chesapeake Smokehouse Smoked Salmon. It was delicious with the mozzarella and pesto! Not to mention gorgeous. @bmore_charming ordered the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, which were fluffy and heavenly. I love lemon and ricotta. For my main I had the Duck Egg Ravioli Carbonara with the option to add grated truffles. Yes, I added the truffles, duh. We finished our meal with the Tiramisu. I’m glad we shared because it was huge! So yummy and decadent though. It was a great meal topped off with an amazing view. We could have sat outside o Lin their patio for hours just sipping champagne and people watching. Definitely a must visit when you are in DC!
