When the Foundry Craft Grillery popped up about a year ago in my neighborhood, I wasn’t sure what to expect. My specific area of Central Pennsylvania (Lebanon County) is a bit lacking in upscale restaurants, so I was mainly hoping for a place with decent food and drinks to give us more options when going out for an evening. Robert and I attended their VIP opening last year and we were pleasantly surprised. Over the past year it has continued to be one of our favorite spots, whether for drinks with friends, a relaxed date night dinner at the bar with their wood-fired pizzas, or a more deluxe and celebratory meal.

Aaaannnd I have to keep reminding myself that 2015 is almost halfway over and it’s not February anymore. What’s up with life?! Here are some things I’ve been loving this month: [Read more…]
