Welcome to Food & Dining

Come hungry, leave inspired.

If you’re like us, some of life’s best moments happen around a table. Whether it’s splitting a tenderloin sandwich at a roadside diner, trying that new place downtown for date night, or cooking something bold just to break up the week, food has a way of turning the everyday into something memorable.test4

This section of Alive to Live is where we celebrate those experiences. You’ll find stories about:

• Local gems and regional favorites
  From Indiana’s pork tenderloin trail to hidden gems we stumble across during road trips, we love spotlighting places that deserve a second bite.

• Dining challenges and foodie adventures
  Like that time we dined through the alphabet, choosing 26 new-to-us restaurants, one for every letter. (X was a wild card.)

• Recipes and rituals that bring people together
  We’re not chefs, but we believe in the magic of a shared meal. Whether it’s a weekend breakfast tradition or a spur-of-the-moment pasta night, we’ll share what works for us, and maybe inspire your own.

• Intentional eating without the guilt
  This isn’t about rules or restrictions. It’s about joy. Sometimes that means trying something totally new. Sometimes it’s embracing comfort food with zero apologies.
