hello fellow foodies!
Hi, I’m Michelle! I grew up and currently live in Ellicott City, Maryland (located between Baltimore and Washington, D.C.). Although I’m a sucker for blue crabs covered in Old Bay seasoning just like every other Marylander, I love to explore new cities and try new foods every chance I get.
If you enjoy non-traditional dishes with unique ingredients and bold flavors, then follow me in this journey toward recreating some of the most delicious things I’ve tasted on my travels across the United States. My goal is to inspire others to cook outside their comfort zones, because life is too short to eat boring food!
I’ll share recommendations of restaurants you NEED to visit on your own foodie adventures, as well as my take on how to create a similar version of a cocktail, appetizer, entree, or dessert from your own kitchen in case traveling is not an option for you.
If you make one of my recipes or visit a recommended spot, be sure to tag @LiveLikeYoureOnVacation on Instagram and I’ll be sure to share your experience with others! Bon Appetit!
