Happy New Year!

We are so excited for this new year…for many reasons, but also for this one! Something I have always wanted to do, visit one, new-to-me restaurant a month! OMGeeeee! I started getting this list ready a couple months ago, and finally started whittling it down the past couple of weeks. I have a feeling this might change, as the year goes along we might flip restaurants around, and that is mostly okay. There are a few places that I really want to try, so those are non-negotiables (can you guess which ones?). Also, we are going to be in Vegas in early March, so that month is reserved for while we are there. I would love to hear your thoughts on where you would go in Vegas and this list in general! Hope you will join us and follow along!
