We're back from a wonderfully beachy week in Martha's Vineyard and feeling ready to get back into the swing of things after over-indulging on vacation. Anel and I have grand plans to eat clean, stay away from alcohol, and get lots of rest this week to get our bodies back on track. Eating dessert every night and cocktails with dinner for that many days in a row always seems fun at the time, but it can ruin the entire next week if we're not careful.
My love for basil pesto is rooted in childhood memories of summer dinners made by my dad, an avid pesto fan. When I went completely dairy-free about 10 years ago, it was one of the hardest things to give up. I was determined to create the best dairy-free pesto so that I didn't feel like I was missing out.
I'm so excited to finally be launching my Fairfield County travel guide today! Fairfield County is the coastal strip of Connecticut where I live and is made up of many adorable towns full of great restaurants, shops, and activities. I've lived here for 5 years now and have been talking about making this guide for 4 of them.
We have hit the beach almost every weekend this summer and I've learned how to be organized and prepared so that we can make the most of our time in the sand. I used to look at families at the beach and ask myself why the parents needed so much stuff. But now I get it.
