Che Empanadas was the inspiration for my theme this evening. They’re opening soon at Transfer Co Food Hall, but I’ve enjoyed their authentic Argentinian empanadas via catering for years (try the sweet beef, my favorite!). It’s a family recipe and a labor… https://t.co/sH0fbqUR0a

Good evening, Batoners! I’ve had the privilege of holding the Baton before, and have alway highlighted my favorite places in the Triangle to eat, drink, ride bikes...basically, where to commune with others. Personally, I think that’s a GREAT way to hold … https://t.co/I1Sv8V3641

My husband and I rounded out the night with date night at one of my all time Raleigh faves - The Angus Barn at Christmas time! We made reservations about 6 months ago so if you have difficulty getting reservations now, keep in mind they keep the decorati… https://t.co/D5UxPxgqmB

We may live in North Raleigh but we still love having our own little flock! Fresh eggs everyday is just an added perk. Don’t worry about our neighbors- they are all hens 😉 Our Silkie chickens are so sweet and the Khaki Campbell ducks are just fun. We… https://t.co/b9vEZUOlGc

If you haven’t stopped by @homewoodnursery this holiday season then you are missing out! They literally have thousands of poinsettias on display in every color you can imagine. It’s pretty spectacular! I swung by to pick up a few for my home and had the … https://t.co/W0VX67G2kl

You know that saying that if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life? Well I am one of the fortunate ones that this is so true! Meet (part) of my Rachel Kendall Team! As the #1 resale team in the triangle, I just love spending my time … https://t.co/pdCPelW1Qa

Morning guys! I’m Rebekah and I’m so excited for you to join me today as we bounce around to a few of my favorite spots around the triangle. Some you’ve probably seen and some you probably haven’t. First stop? Coffee! My husband and I live in North Ralei… https://t.co/TkShpnoVOe

It’s the holidays, and I always enjoy all the lit up houses and decorations, but have never been one to do much on my own house. But this seemed doable AND funny, so I decided to go for it. #minimalism #minimalholidaydecorations #grinch #yarddecor photo … https://t.co/HK6yTBT6Qv

I just had to share about @claymakersarts with you. I have taken a few classes there and really enjoyed, and had never done anything in ceramics before. Great atmosphere, support and working in clay is therapeutic as well! They have their community holid… https://t.co/2lwHiRZUi7

Today for lunch I’m eating at @itaewongrill near @dukeuniversity. Itaewon is a custom Korean bbq restaurant. Great prices, good amount of food and you can choose your base, veggies, meat and sauce. It’s not hard to create a healthy lunch here. And super … https://t.co/xeglFb9MLo

I had planned to finish the evening at my favorite Raleigh spot to see at Christmas, but a quiet dinner at home won out. In the hustle of life, family dinners and stories before bed become increasingly limited, and they’re good for the soul.

I wish you … https://t.co/UCrrEn3WBF

Anyone else workout more for their mental health than physical? After my kids passed along a cold, today was my first day back in the gym. I’m a much more patient person after I can get some 💪🏻 in.

Anyways, while over here I have to show my favorite hai… https://t.co/GKfNYOxYla

I am fully aware that @jubalacoffee has been featured on the Baton 783 times, but there’s a reason for that. The owner and his wife are good friends of ours and they have amazing coffee and food. (Plus I just learned that have an app where you can order … https://t.co/JsMheUQ6an

It’s almost showtime! On the last Wednesday of every month, I host @eyesupherecom’s Fresh Face Showcase - a show for new female-identifying comics in our scene to showcase their talents. @bullcityciderworks is my favorite place in the Triangle and I’m so… https://t.co/1Sb0tDwDTM

Now that I’m fully enmeshed in my mid-30s (which I will definitely be telling jokes about later!), sometimes my naturally red hair needs a little help maintaining its brightness. That’s where @evelynputnam comes in. With her warmth, generosity, skill, an… https://t.co/G3fmULCWsG

I couldn’t talk about @eyesupherecom without stopping by @neptunesparlour! One of our most popular shows is the first Friday show at Neptune’s every month. Stop in on December 7th (and every first Friday) to see a lineup of hilarious ladies...including, … https://t.co/hI3y38ICcD
