Inspiration From The 2015 Food & Wine Conference

Hi. My name is Robin King and I am no longer a Food Blogger Conference virgin. With the encouragement of my saucy sister, The Saucy Queen herself, Michele Northrup, and The Family Foodie, Isabel Laessig of The Sunday Supper Movement, I decided to attend the 2015 Food & Wine Conference at the beautiful Rosen Shingle […]

Pia’s Trattoria ~ One of our Favorites

Pia’s Trattoria ~ One of our Favorites

Pia’s Trattoria is our favorite Southern Pinellas County restaurant, besides Three Birds Tavern, of course, and our sure thing, go to spot for a celebration, a quiet hide-away afternoon, or a place for coffee and dessert after a not-so-great meal someplace else (when we wish we had chosen Pia’s first). “We have one goal – […]

Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day

“If,” by Rudyard Kipling My favorite poem was written by nobel laureate RUDYARD KIPLING in the form of paternal advice to his son John. The words are inscribed above the players’ entrance to the Centre Court at Wimbledon, which I hope to see in person one day. If you can meet with triumph and disaster, […]

What I Learned, Or Was Reminded Of, This Visit To Ireland

What I Learned, Or Was Reminded Of, This Visit To Ireland

Soup is pureed, stew is chunky, and if you put a lid on your stew and finish it off in the oven, it is now a casserole. You must ask for your check in a restaurant or pub. They do not automatically bring it, and I assume they think it would be rude to do so. […]

Drawn to the Magical Emerald Isle, again . . .

We leave tomorrow for our third trip to Ireland, the magical Emerald Isle. We were married in Ireland in 2002, returned in January of 2012, nearly ten years later, and now here we go again. Even though there are so many places in the world I have never seen, even once, and want to go; […]

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Kids say the darndest things, without filter and no ill intention. Just honesty, and I was reminded yesterday just how refreshing that is. Jack and I were at Island Way Grill in Clearwater for Sunday Brunch and while visiting the restroom, a small boy waited with his mother. He was saying, ‘I gotta go, I […]

Sweetheart Pasta

February 15, 2015 By Robin King 2 Comments

Sweetheart Pasta

This is by far the simplest, yet most delicious, pasta dish I make. I call it “Sweetheart Pasta” because it became our favorite date weekend, make-at-home treat while Jack and I were dating in 1999. It seems so simple now, but back then, we enjoyed making this, while sharing a bottle of Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon, and […]

About Robin

I am a wife, mother, Bebe, yoga and meditation instructor, traveler, lover of food, wine and the magic that cooking and dining experiences can bring to your day. I am a recovering restaurant owner, and after a year of hibernating in the mountains after selling, I am out of the weeds sufficiently to share my favorite culinary experiences with you, both locally and while on the road, my current crushes on gadgets and self-care products, dog friendly places your fur kids will love and invite you into my kitchen. All love, all good vibes. I share with hopes that you find inspiration through my experiences to make your dreams a reality, or perhaps just to create a fabulous culinary experience for someone you love.
