“Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.” - Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

Our local foodie fixation in this moment has definitely been 🕊️ From brunch to lunch, cocktails to dinner, we keep showing up to find out what Executive Chef , Chef de Cuisine and the rest of the team has dreamed up! We have yet to be disappointed!

✨We are still reeling a little from the magic that was seeing our short film honored at the international red rose film festival.
🎞️To watch our film on a planetarium screen surrounded by friends and strangers gasping and laughing along with us had us both in tears (you don’t get that kind of feedback loop when you just post on Youtube or Insta)
🌎To have our film shown in the international film block, representing not only our city of Lancaster but our country as well, amidst stellar international filmmakers was a dream!
🎥To ALSO be nominated for a film award alongside local friends and giants in the industry who we admire like MAKE films, LampHouse Films and Dadley Productions had us both humbled and wonderstruck.
♥️Thank you to everyone who has supported and believed in us~ Thank you to our friends Ryan and Alex for having this adventure with us!
🍎 These two teacher best friends with a whole lot of creative energy and a passion for storytelling are incredibly wonderstruck and honored to be laureled filmmakers now too! 🎬
🤩If you struggle with imposter syndrome (who doesn’t?) or feel like there’s not a place for you in the arena you’ve been longing to step into, we hope it gives you a nudge to know that ordinary people live extraordinary experiences and find belonging in unexpected places when they move in love instead of fear.
💡Make the thing you want to make because you want to make it, and see where it takes YOU! ✈️ Check the link in our profile to see our film, Wild Roots on our YT channel.

🦒Here for a family resort that satisfies the foodies in the family! We are obsessed with the offerings at Kalahari Resort! When people ask me for a place they can take the kids to really WOW them, without sacrificing great food and atmosphere for the grownups, I always have Kalahari at the top of mind!
🌊Kalahari is a GREAT place for families and home to America’s largest indoor waterpark…but WE love sharing about the AWARD WINNING dining and world class restaurants they have to offer as well! 👩🏻‍🍳
Here’s the rundown of where to eat on your next visit! Good luck trying to choose just ONE of these incredible restaurants to enjoy:
🍔B-Lux Grill & Bar:
THE PLACE for the most incredible, delicious, over-the-top, and gramable milkshakes!
Burgers that are always fresh, never frozen

🌮Cinco Niños: A made from scratch Tex Mex restaurant that makes killer margaritas and boasts the Pocono’s largest collection of tequila and mezcal. Their quesadillas are melt-in-your-mouth delish!

🍝Sortino’s Italian Kitchen: Old Sicilian recipes in a gorgeous setting! The perfect place to gather with friends and family over a wood-fired pizza, perfectly crispy chicken parm and one of our fave espresso martinis in the state!

🥩Double Cut Steak House has a swanky and alluring spot to settle in by a fire, slooooooow down and savor the flavors of incredible cuts of meat, smoked cocktails, seafood and live music!

✨Going off the usual travel post because I read this prompt in my feed (hat tip to ) and it was so delicious to think about that I had to write my own response down and share it in hopes you’d find it lovely to think about too!
