Bubby’s Cookie Cake #ChocolateParty
I have a special treat for you today: A dessert recipe from my Bubby! There is nothing more precious to someone who loves to cook than a recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation. This dish originally comes from my Bubby’s mother, my great-Bubby, if you will. I never met her, but […]
Roasted Fig Brussels Sprouts with Farro, Edamame and Toasted Pine Nuts
If you had to pick one vegetable that totally grossed you out as a kid but now makes your head spin because you love it so much? Did you pick Brussels sprouts? I thought so. So did I. My dad hates them. So as a kid, especially a kid who looked to her father for […]
Apple, Fig & Pomegranate Crisp for #SundaySupper
When it comes to flavors, the fall season definitely brings us the best of the best. Pumpkin, apple, cinnamon, vanilla, winter squash… I love them all. When #SundaySupper announced this weekend’s “Fall Foods” theme, I was so excited because it came at the perfect time. I was already planning on using some of fall’s best […]
Boca Restaurant Review: Pinon Grill
It’s been a while since I had a dinner date with my Bub. We went out when Bec visited, and when my mom was here, and we’ve had some family dinners for the holidays, but I miss those nights when it’s just me and Bubby enjoying some good food and wine at one of Boca’s […]
Crockpot Pumpkin Pie Spiced Applesauce #GYCO

I have wanted to make homemade applesauce ever since I got my crockpot a while back. My baby Crockpot. Have I ever told you about my itty bitty adorable little Crockpot?? I got it on sale on Macys.com for like twenty bucks – quite the steal. It has TWO sections, so you can slow cook […]
S’mores Puppy Chow
It has taken me way too long to make my own version of that infamous “puppy chow” you see all over the internet – food blogs and Pinterest are just drowning in different variations. Some call it puppy chow, some call it muddy buddies. I like the sound of puppy chow better since that is […]
Publix Breakfast Savings Event & A Giveaway!
One of my favorite things to do is food shopping. Even before I started cooking and blogging, I always loved doing it. When I was in college at Rutgers, grocery day was the best because it got me off campus for a little bit. I’d go to the local grocery store, Stop & Shop (the […]
Tabbouleh Salad with Feta and Golden Raisins for #SundaySupper

Guuuys, I’m so excited! This is my first time posting for #SundaySupper! I caught onto this group awhile back and love its concept of bringing back family dinners. My roommates and I are able to enjoy dinner together at the table a couple nights a week (whenever our work schedules allow us) and it really […]
Nutty Fuzzy Navel Thumbprint Cookies for #TheLeftoversClub
It’s Leftovers time! This month I had the pleasure of being partnered up with Ruthy from Omeletta. Ruthy recently moved to Long Island and is pregnant! Congratulations on the move, mommy-to-be! I love Ruthy’s site; her recipes are really innovative, using very creative combinations of ingredients. Like these Cherry Balsamic Cheesecake Bars. I am a […]
Spicy Pepper Cream Pasta
Sometimes I get an idea for a recipe and I go back and forth between different ingredients trying to get it just right in my head. For instance, I saw this recipe for a healthy twist on penne alla vodka on Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans using Greek yogurt and I thought it sounded pretty […]
