Grab a drink - come say hi!
I'm Margo - creator of Nachos and Champagne!
One night, eating nachos and drinking champagne at home in my jamjams, I decided to give my food pics a home and so Nachos&Champange instagram was born.
Now I've moved up in the world to a whole site! Bear with me while I try to figure it all out - and enjoy!
Guten Appetit!
A little background on me!
I didn't grow up cooking at all - I grew up eating a lot of cereal for dinner. So you should definitely read my recipes and take my recommendations - thats only natural right?!
I did however, also grow up snapping green beans in my Uncles kitchen where he would make giant Thanksgiving and Christmas meals fit for 20 for a whopping 8 of us, 5 of which were children. Maybe thats where I learned that food is the greatest way to bring people together! and that leftovers are awesome.
Most of college I spent watching The Food Network and dreaming of eating all the delicious things...not instant ramen. Oh! and celebrating Champagne Thursdays - yes I've loved champagne my whole life - and yes we had a thing where we would drink a bunch of champagne every Thursday at my house. It was seriously great to be young.
Only in graduate school and beyond did I really start to experiment in the kitchen and I've had a ton of fun doing so. I am very very fortunate to have an incredible fiancé who will eat and enjoy anything and always wants to go to any and all restaurants. He also loves leftovers, which is great because I only know how to cook for an army.
So here I am - living in San Francisco (by way of Florida, by way of Boston), cooking up elaborate things in a small city kitchen and loving everything about it.
Its officially 5:08pm here so time for a cocktail - not that I don't love a 2pm cocktail - because I do... more on that later <3

I make whatever I feel like making - I draw a lot of inspiration from Pinterest and other actual food bloggers that I like to follow. I'll definitely let you know where I get any of my recipes from that are not my own or I have adapted.

I may love to cook - but my all time favorite meal is a cheese plate and a glass (3) of champagne. Literally nothing better.
PSA: Champagne is the best drink. Its a morning noon and night beverage and goes well with everything. There I said it.
And its true.

Restaurants
Restaurants are the best places on earth - because they are filled with people enjoying themselves and people working hard at what they love. I've been fortunate enough to do some traveling and will share my favorite foods from places I've visited! Including in my own neighborhood in San Francisco which has some incredible places to eat!
