Good ol’ Rocky Top (Hey!)
What makes Knoxville so great? Aside from actually getting to experience all 4 seasons, we are also the gateway to the Smoky Mountains. The most visited National Park in the U.S.A. It’s not even a close race. In 2014 GSMNP boasted 10.1 million visitors, dwarfing the Grand Canyon in 2nd place with 4.7 million. But…
K&R Asian Adventure : check Angkor Wat off the bucket list…
Again with the selfie! (courtesy of Kara’s iPhone) So, here we are. The grand-mac-daddy of posts. The main reason we went to Cambodia was to explore Angkor Wat & surrounding temples. The history buff in me was WAY excited. After our day in Siem Reap and exploring Treak Village, Kara & I opted to head…
Grilled Stone Fruit Sundae
Summer is rapidly drawing to a close, and that means our stone fruits are exiting peak season. Sadness. Soon our peaches, plums, cherries, nectarines, etc. will all be replaced by pumpkins. Fall may be my favorite season for all the winter squash it brings, apples, and….beer. But in the meantime, while the weather is still hot…

K&R Asian Adventure : Four Nights in Bangkok

We capped off our amazing Elephant filled adventure with a luxurious dinner, followed by some rooftop cocktails. We did some extensive research about where to…
One Way Out : The Front Door Conundrum
We have been slacking on blogging lately. There’s a couple of reasons for that. One being personal, Kara’s sister & her husband have been dealing with some health issues and the family has been pitching in here and there to help (hey, it’s what family does). It’s been a rocky road and any prayers or…
Sweet Potato Curry Hummus
So, Kara discovered some delicious Sweet Potato Curry Hummus one day at Earth Fare, and decided to tell the world how awesome it was. It was so good that she decided she needed to make her own version. Me? I’m totally cool with that. Sadly, it’s all gone now because we horked it all down pretty…
