Spinach and Tomato-Basil Seafood Risotto

Risotto. There is no better dish than a perfectly made risotto. I hate when people ask me what my favorite food is, like I actually have one favorite that goes above and beyond everything else. Hello! I am a FOOD BLOGGER – which means I love food. All kinds. I can’t just pick one. That’s […]

Quinoa and Veggie Bowls

We all have those nights when you get home from work and the last thing you want to do is slave away in the kitchen making dinner. For nights like this, I have a couple go-to meals that are quick and easy to throw together in a pinch, but still pack a lot of great […]

Panko-Baked Veggie Quinoa Cakes

I promised you the recipe for my Veggie Quinoa Cakes, so here you go! These paired really nicely with the tilapia Amy cooked up for our dinner. They had great flavor; my only complaint was that they needed some kind of sauce. My bad. I should have prepared something to go along with the cakes; […]

A Visit to NJ and Pineapple Stir Fry

What’s the easiest thing to throw together when you’re in a pinch and need a quick idea for dinner? Stir-fry!I just went back to NJ for a few days to see my little sister in her high school musical, The Wedding Singer. She played the part of Holly. It was such a perfect role for […]

I’m slowly getting it together in my apartment. I got a few new items for the dining room — still no real table and chairs, but that’s coming soon! I think I’ll be making that trip to Ikea when my parents come down at the end of March. For now, online shopping at Target will […]

Stuffed Portobello Mushroom on my Le Creuset Panini Grill

Remember that Le Creuset panini grill I won at the Food Blog Forum in March? I’ve used it plenty of times for grilling, but I haven’t actually made a panini with it… until now. The prize pack also came with a book full of all kinds of recipes — veggie paninis, paninis with meat, poultry […]

My Newfound Love for Soup

I’ve been on a soup kick lately. I never used to be a big soup person — except for Bubby’s matzo ball soup and the crab bisque at The Crab Trap back in Somers Point, New Jersey; never been one to get excited about soup. Maybe it’s the time of year, or… maybe I’m just […]
