Christmas baking playlist. #yinzerkitchen

I’ve been fighting a pretty nasty cold this past week and got ZERO baking done. This is virtually unheard of from me, and usually this gets me in the holiday spirit. So today, I whipped up a batch of snickerdoodles. Up next: @emeril Bacon-Cheddar Scones, by request. #yinzerkitchen #christmas #baking #holidaybaking #happychristmas #christmascookies #snickerdoodles

FYI: We got some treats from @malleyschoc for presents for holidays; I’m happy to say they ship FAST! Two days from Cleveland via Fed Ex. If you are looking for something delicious, look to Malley’s. Their candy and sweets are delicious! (at Malley's Chocolates)

#fbf to that beautiful souvlaki gyro from Gali’s Gyro and Grill. It was all your meaty, grilled dreams come true. (at Gali's Gyro & Grill)

Got to meet Kimmy Robertson and Harry Goaz from Twin Peaks today. We talked about a great many things, including Dean’s Diner cherry pie, donuts and coffee! They are the real deal amazing people! So kind and lovely to their fans! #yinzerkitchen #fangirl #twinpeaks #deputyandybrennan #lucymoran #squeeeeee (at Monroeville Convention Center)

Fries with feta is most definitely a “thing”. Checked out Gali’s Gyro and Grill in Pleasant Hills (right next to @pastries_ala_carte) and it’s definitely some of the best Greek food I have tasted in quite a while! These fries were nice and crispy and sprinkled with seasoned fresh feta cheese. Pairs well with cucumber gyro sauce! (at Gali's Gyro & Grill)

Sometimes you need to get festive, and hang with a Santa in a dead mall. #yinzerkitchen #yolo #deadmall

I slacked in a BIG way this Thanksgiving and wound up with this being my ONLY photo of the day, but you know what? That’s OK. That means I put down my phone and interacted with other humans today! In the mean time, I got seasonal with my fizz thanks to @cataclismaa and @alexvierheller and tried @polarbeverages Winter Seasonal line, smuggled all the way from Rochester, NY! #nowfizzing #polarseltzer #seasonalfizz #412fizz #yinzerkitchen #thanksgiving2017 #tomhanksgiving

Current aesthetic: Dougie’s Coffee. Hangs with friends in Troy Hill. #iamdougiescoffee #twinpeaks #yinzerkitchen (at Troy Hill (Pittsburgh))

Unplanned @macandgoldtruck stops are always a good idea. Today’s picks are: Buffalo Chicken Mac and BBQ Pulled Pork Mac. They are in front of @thecoffeebuddha today; stop by and #treatyoself! #yinzerkitchen #foodtrucks #northhills #macandcheese #comfortfoods (at Coffee Buddha)

#istandwithnyc New York City is a place where I have felt “at home” and at ease. I felt this familiarity with it and completely comfortable, like I was walking around a place I’ve been a million times before. My roots are grounded in this city; my grandfather’s family made their start in this country right in Hell’s Kitchen. My grandfather was a longshoreman. NYC is HOME to me, and home is hurting right now. #ilovenyc #iloveny #newyorkcity #fuckterrorism (at Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan)

David S. Pumpkins wuz here! #davidspumpkins #millvale #halloween @tupelohoneyteas (at Tupelo Honey Teas)

Tried the Pita Swirl finally at #fredosdeli in #dormont today. I opted for cheese-filled, which is a soft and chewy airy pocket of a three cheese blend (feta, cottage cheese and ricotta). It kind of reminds me of a Bosnian cousin to the calzone, but much lighter in texture. I cannot believe I waited this long to try this. Also, a great option for vegetarians! Try this! #yinzerkitchen #pitaswirl #cheese #bosnianfood #southhillspa (at Fredo's Deli)

@wolfteethdonuts pop up at @tupelohoneyteas we heard that this would be the last donut pop up for a long time, so we made sure to pick up a sampling of these delicious #vegan #donuts. #yinzerkitchen #millvale #iwanteddonuts (at Tupelo Honey Teas)

A wee bit obsessed with the #fizzlife #yinzerkitchen #412fizzers #nowfizzing @nowfizzing @seltzer.ade @lacroixwater (at The Bob and Michele Museum)

#fbf to these amazing chili cheese dogs from #thenewyorkhotdog in McCandless. It’s literally a “blink and you’ll miss it” place, and only open for breakfast and lunch...but totally worth stopping by for the old school ambiance and delicious food. #yinzerkitchen #hotdogs #northhills #diner #vintage (at New York Hotdog)

#tbt to this giant heirloom beauty I saw at @soergelsgarden last week. #yinzerkitchen #tomatoes (at Naturally Soergel's)
