Seafood Gumbo for #SundaySupper #MardiGras
Woo! Get out your beads and whet your appetite because it’s time to celebrate… It’s Mardi Gras! This week is Fat Tuesday! Of course the Sunday Supper team is starting the party a little early with “Fat Sunday” hosted by Leslie of La Cocina de Leslie. I love all of the New Orleans-inspired dishes, especially […]
#Cheerios: Smart About Diabetes with #PlatefullCoOp
Did you know that February is American Heart Month? Seems appropriate since it’s also a month full of love and pretty Valentine’s Day hearts too. Although today is the last day of the month, that doesn’t mean we have to forget about doing everything we can to take care of ourselves and keep our hearts […]
Easy Skillet Ratatouille with Chickpeas and Feta
I’m not ashamed to say that I love cartoon movies. Some of them really are entertaining, and sometimes adults like them more than the kids. One of my absolute favorites is Ratatouille. You know, the cute little mouse who loves to cook and hides underneath one of the chef’s hats and secretly feeds him directions […]
Breakfast Cookies and Easy Ideas for Target Breakfast Twists
Do you ever get bored with breakfast? I tend to always eat the same thing… I either make a smoothie (like my Mellow Yellow Tropical Smoothie or Kale, Peanut Butter and Banana) or I’ll have a bowl of oatmeal. I sometimes need a little inspiration to break out of my breakfast rut, and thanks to […]
South Beach Wine and Food Festival with Anolon Cookware
I never thought I’d ever make it to South Beach Wine and Food Festival. That’s the big time… But guess what?? I did! Anolon Cookware invited me to be their guest blogger at the Grand Tasting! I got to try great food and see cooking demonstrations with some of the best chefs. Anolon was one […]
Melt Organic Luscious Butter 2.0 Ready Giveaway
I really dislike butter. And not just because it’s fattening and whatnot; I really, truly cannot stand the taste and especially the smell of melted butter. I’m not kidding you. I gag at that smell. I hate it. I won’t use butter in a recipe if it calls for melting it. Not that I ever really use […]
New Orleans Style Vegetarian Chili for #SundaySupper
My trip to New Orleans last month left me totally and completely inspired, in more ways than one. The most influential part, though, was definitely the preparation of food. The heat, the layers of flavor upon flavor, the list of ingredients so simple yet still so alluring… It was pretty cold while I was there, […]
Boca Restaurant Review: Piattini
NOTE: This restaurant has since closed. I have a soft spot for cute little Italian restaurants, especially when the owner or chef makes himself known among the crowd, stopping by each and every table to make sure you’re enjoying your meal. These “mom and pop” kind of places always have genuine service, and the food […]
Skinny White Russian to celebrate #Sochi #WinterOlympics
Here’s part three of my Olympic Opening Ceremony night with Mom. We had to do something to celebrate the location of this year’s winter Olympics. A Russian-inspired drink seemed appropriate, and it’s winter…so there’s probably snow on the ground. Let’s make White Russians! My mom’s favorite cocktail is a good White Russian. In fact, I remember the first […]
Sesame Glazed Cauliflower
Yesterday’s Quinoa Salad with Butternut Squash, Dried Cherries, Pomegranate and Pepitas was not all Mom and I made for our night of watching Olympics Opening Ceremony, which, as I said, was utterly fantastic. The Russians really know how to put on a beautiful show. I thought it was so cool how they told the history […]
