Last Wednesday, July 15th, I had the opportunity to participate in a food bloggers’ event with STLWineGirl, Angela Ortmann. The event, titled “Will Write for Wine”, was by invitation only, and I was flattered to be on the list. Angela’s classes are always informative, and I’ve enjoyed the classes and events I’ve attended.
This event was [...]
On August 12, Stephanie from Off the Eaten Path St. Louis and I will be hosting an informal food bloggers’ dinner at Bridge Tap House and Wine Bar on Locust Street in downtown St. Louis.
This event is open to any St. Louis area food bloggers or social media friends who’d like to join us, but [...]
I’m a runner and a baker. Both of these hobbies help me relieve stress.
My running, I pound my frustrations into the pavement, have long talks with myself and wear myself out so much that there’s not enough energy left to use on worry.
Baking is my creative therapy – it allows me to create new things, [...]
Baking my third-ever pie was just as much fun as baking the first two. This time I waited until I got to the supermarket to decide what kind of pie to bake. I based my decision on the fruit that looked the freshest at the best price, and strawberries won out.
Once I decided on strawberries, [...]
It’s Missouri and it’s mid-April, and you’re used to cool, rainy days after a long gray winter. You’ve just run 13.1 miles, and it’s 90 degrees outside. What do you want to do next? Where do you want to go? If your answer doesn’t involved eating Ted Drewes’ Frozen Custard, you may not be a [...]
I recently dined at a small town Missouri pizza chain called Pogolino’s Pizza Place.
The restaurant is located in a two-story house on a side street near downtown Desoto, Missouri. Inside, the restaurant’s walls were lined with booths not unlike those at fast food hamburger joints; hard plastic shells with generic tabletops. The tables were decorated [...]
Over the last few months, Arizona has made it onto this small town girl’s small town radar. My host during the P.F. Chang’s Rock n Roll Half Marathon took me to the Desert Botanical Garden, drove me to Sedona to see the red rocks, and took me to “the Towers” to get a view of [...]

Although I’ve not been writing much in the last two weeks, a lot has been happening behind the scenes of A Small Town Girl’s Guide. Today I’m excited to announce that Robust Wine Bar and Cafe is my official race sponsor for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade Run, a five-mile race that begins and ends [...]
I baked my first homemade quiche tonight:
This feta-spinach-mushroom goodness was – believe it or not – relatively healthy! I’m a big fan of Spark People Recipes, a user-generated pool of searchable recipes that also includes nutritional information on each recipe.
This quiche had less than 200 calories per serving (1 serving – 1/8 of total quiche), [...]
