Review | The Block

"Yesterday, I went to The Block for brunch with some of my Sorors. I say brunch only cause we were drinking before 5pm, they don't have a brunch menu. :)"

Recipe | Philly Cheesesteaks

If you’re from Philly I am sure these don’t taste anything like Pat’s or Geno’s but they taste like Arielle’s J (lol). This is a quick 10-minute meal because the meat is so thin it cooks in no time.

Recipe | Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

Arielle Forbes | Dr. Foodie

Fall is here, so that means I’ll be super basic and flood you with pumpkin based recipes. The first one is a delicious baked good that has a nice balance of chocolate without the overbearing taste of pumpkin. I used dark chocolate to alleviate some of the guilt you may feel, if you’re that kind of person...
