Forgot to share these pics last night because I was in a food coma from all the food and napping to recover from the flu/booster shots lol 😝 If you have yesterday and today off, I hope you are spending time with loved ones and eating lots of good food!

P.S. Alex and I are not matching because he put on this flannel to match one of the niblings because #priority 🍼

@boxyardrtp had their grand opening this weekend (cleverly named #UnboxingWknd) and it was lovely seeing the space at its full potential! #hosted If you aren’t already familiar, they have repurposed shipping containers to create a lively space in the middle of Research Triangle Park.

You’ll find small businesses to eat at and shop from, some new and some familiar! I was particularly excited to see @ncbulkogi (isn’t that spicy beef bowl just stunning) and @carrburritosrtp which hadn’t opened when I last visited. Because I’m a creature of habit, I also went to @medicinemamasfarmacy and @wonderpuff!

So incredibly happy we have this amazing place in RTP (and so close to me)! I’m already planning my next visit so I can try the pizza from @fullsteamrtp and @lagoon.bar! Have y’all been yet?

Low quality photo, high quality pasta 🍝 I finally made it to @cucciolodurham and it made my carb-loving heart happy! We shared the beet salad and walnut pesto bruschetta and had spicy vodka rigatoni and the carbonara, and then finished with some tiramisu (#fluffy). We were fancy and split a half bottle of a malbec too.🍷

I cannot wait to go back and eat more of their pasta. Have you been? What’s your favorite pasta? You can read more about our experience on my blog today: https://betterwithju.com/cucciolo-osteria

This weekend in photos: ♥️ got to make a chees

This weekend in photos:
♥️ got to make a cheeseboard for one of former Clayton high school teachers! I didn’t have her class but both of my sisters did and I felt honored to make this board for her.
♥️ Alex and I’ve been doing friday lunches pretty frequently recently and we went to M Sushi this week for one of many birthday celebrations 😝🍣
♥️ I got a Christmas tree for my office! Alex is strictly team real tree but I 1) wanted to celebrate early and 2) was worried about real life Christmas tree situation (last year wasn’t great) so this faux tree is the perfect solution!
♥️ last but not least, we had a small Friendsgiving/sistergiving last night! While I don’t have any photos or videos (who am I?!), it was lovely seeing friends and eating way too much food.

That’s basically my entire weekend right there! What fun things did you do this weekend? Have you put up a Christmas tree yet?

Tree and cheeseboard are linked in my @shop.ltk (link in bio)!

I had the BEST time at @thewillardraleigh tonight!

I had the BEST time at @thewillardraleigh tonight! They have a stunning view of downtown Raleigh skyline and delicious drinks and bites. My top drink recommendation is Donkey Kong, which is banana-y but not too banana-y and just the perfect balance of flavor. I also loved their stuffed mushrooms! #hosted🍌🌃

Also, I got to see so many familiar faces and meet so many of my Instagram friends in real life. You bet I took a photo with all of them (but I didn’t have all the photos to include in the post)—swipe to see a fun surprise! 😉 My heart is so incredibly happy. Happy Friday Eve, friends! ♥️
