Hi there! I am so glad you stopped by! I'm a mom of a tween, a teen, and @UrbanBlissDog! We live in food-loving Portland, Oregon on the edge of beautiful wine country. I spend my days blissfully creating new recipes, photographing good food, wine, and travel hot spots, checking out restaurants, wine tasting with friends, and traveling around the world with my family.
