Restaurant Week At Heirloom

By

Restaurant Week is always a good time in Charlottesville, and you locals still have time to make a reservation this weekend! There are three levels of pricing: $19, $29 and $39, depending on the restaurant, and all proceeds benefit the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank.

I was invited by Heirloom, the swanky restaurant and bar at the top of the new Graduate Hotel by the University of Virginia, to enjoy their restaurant week menu and share my experience on KERF.

I’ve been meaning to go to Heirloom since it opened earlier this year, and my friends have been buzzing about how awesome the view from the terrace is. We don’t have many skyscrapers in our little town, so it’s not everyday you can see Main Street like this:

On a mild winter day the heaters were on, and with a coat we could have had a drink outside, but that was pushing it a bit with temps dropping : ) I cannot wait to go back on a warm spring day and sip wine looking at that view!

Back inside, I ordered a glass of the Prince Michel Merlot and we picked our dishes for the evening.

In respect for the other diners, I didn’t take any interior photos, but this is what the space looks like in the daylight as shown on the website. Very pretty with a vintage-rustic feel!

To start we shared the Roast Shrimp stuffed with horseradish, wrapped in bacon, and served with a whiskey apple BBQ sauce.

And the Arugula and Pear Salad served with McLaurin Cheddar, roasted pears and a honey lemon vinaigrette. The pears totally made the salad great!

I ordered the salmon for my entree, which came with saffron butter, pearl couscous, and roasted cauliflower and carrots.

And T had the duck with a clover honey glaze and apple chutney.

My favorite course was dessert, naturally, and we tried one of each of the offerings:

An Heirloom Apple Pie served in its own little cast-iron skillet and topped with whipped cream.

And Bourbon Bread Pudding : )

On a regular night, Heirloom has a ton of tapas-style plates to share, so I think it would make a great spot for happy hour or al fresco dinner with friends!

Thanks for having me in, friends!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Evernote Review: Your Digital Organization Hub

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
