Here’s more collaborative dining guide action, this week with AJ’s picks and official blogging debut (while there may have been some bullying, no one was physically harmed in the making of this post. Once I explained that he could drink beer and write at the same time, the process was pretty painless and he just cranked …
Fall is knocking on our door. While everyone is all about pumpkin spice lattes, boots, apple picking and changing leaves, I am definitely soaking up the last few moments of summer (though I’m thrilled that pumpkin beer is back and may have started drinking it on the reg). With temperatures still in the 90s, I’m not ready for …
Almost three years ago, I moved to Charlotte. I didn’t really know anyone (aside from a few folks at work from my 10 week internship the summer before) and I didn’t really know anything (I told people when I accepted an internship at the Public Defender’s Office in the summer of 2011 I was moving …
The blog is back. Hi! How’ve you been? Life’s been busy, so I’ll catch you up really quick. Summer was spent running around the Mecklenburg County Courthouse a lot with an intern, ripping up all of the carpet in our townhouse and putting in new floors, spending 8 days in Colorado in nature, drinking beer, …
Hi, I’m Chrissie! (I’m on the left if you had issues figuring that out). I introduced myself to you two years ago when I wrote my first post on Off the Eaten Path. At the time, I was new to the Queen City, had lived in Plaza Midwood for less than six months, and needed …
(See what I did there. Changed the recipe series name from “supper” to “sipper.” Aren’t I clever?”) Who’s got the hooch, baby? Does anyone else remember Everything’s 1998 hit? I was 11 and in the 5th grade (or maybe 6th grade) and rocked out to that song on the daily. There’s a connection between this …
We’ve slammed the pedal to the metal in Charlotte and are speeding right into Spring (fingers crossed with no looking back). We started sleeping with the windows open and waking up to the sounds of birds chirping. We’ve enjoyed sunny afternoons spent sipping beer on patios under Carolina blue skies. Everything is in bloom and …
I started Off the Eaten Path almost two years ago as a creative outlet and a space to chronicle my adventures in my new city. What better way to explore a new place other than eating, right? And while Off the Eaten Path still centers around Charlotte food and restaurants, with my two year blogiversary …
I love Mexican food. And nothing makes Mexican food better than it already is than fresh guacamole. I’ve never been a fan of the pre made version of my favorite dip. Truly nothing can beat the flavor of a fresh avocado. Plus, making fresh guac is so easy there’s no need to buy the packaged stuff.
Does anyone else miss football too? Yes, yes, yes I know baseball is coming. With the end of football means spring. I like baseball. I like spring. But I think the most wonderful time of the year is crisp fall mornings spent around a grill with a beer in my hand. The electric, contagious energy of a football …
