Some of you may remember that last year we participated in a unique fundraiser called Passports With Purpose. This annual event was started by a group of travel bloggers looking for a way to help support communities in need around the world. This cause is near to my heart. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to travel the world and I love the idea of using this little blog to do something real for ...
Exploring Mexican Food & The Mission District With Chef Rick Bayless
Anyone who has read this blog a few times knows I've had a very long love affair with Mexico and Mexican food. When I first moved to California back in 2001, I fell hard for the culture that was everywhere in my diverse Los Angeles community.
