Great Tex-Mex at JoJo’s Tacos
One of my absolute favorite kinds of food is Mexican. Mostly because I really love guacamole, salsa and crispy baked tortilla chips…and margaritas. Mexican cheeses are also divine — Cojita and Manchego…yum! I almost always order the same type of meal though, whatever kind of veggie enchilada is on the menu or sometimes a good […]
My Favorite Local Happy Hours
It’s so weird not working a 9-5 (well, 9:30-6) job anymore. There are days when I’m out of work as early as 3pm and I have no idea what to do with myself! Daylight! An entire evening ahead of me to do whatever I please. One of my favorite ways to spend this newfound time […]
Publix Aprons: What I Learned This Week
I’ve started to accumulate quite the collection of recipes over the past year, but I’m racking up tons more since starting at Publix Aprons. For every class we teach or demonstration we put on, there is a packet of recipes given to everyone who attends. There is always at least one recipe within the packets […]
A Beautiful, Simple Jersey Wedding
My cousin Emily got married over the holiday weekend, and I was so happy to be able to go home and celebrate Emily’s and Mark’s special day. Emily has a food blog of her own, Corchoran Street Kitchen, and always shares awesome (and easy to make) recipes. I knew her creative personality would totally shine […]
Sweet Caramelized Onion Dip
Do you cry your eyes out every time you cut up onion? I used to. But not anymore. It’s actually pretty easy to properly dice an onion without shedding a tear. This little secret is not so secret at all. I was watching Anne Burrell’s show on Food Network and happened to notice how she […]
Publix Aprons / What I Learned This Week
I have learned so much since I started working at Publix Aprons. I want to be able to document everything for you guys so you can follow me on my awesome culinary adventure. Each and every day I leave with some kind of newfound knowledge that I can bring home with me. This is the […]
Roasted Garlic and Eggplant Hummus
One of the things I’ve learned at work is how to roast garlic. Actually, I’ve also learned that I really, really, really like garlic. If there is one thing about roasted garlic that I like most, it’s the smell. There is nothing like the scent of roasted garlic filling your entire kitchen. It’s heavenly. I […]
A Gin & Sparkling Red Wine Cocktail
I’m ending Brunch Week with a bang. A bitterly sweet (yes, I know that is an oxymoron) bang in the form of a sparkling cocktail. Last Sunday, Cinco de Mayo to be exact, I ran a 5K in Ft. Lauderdale called The Color Run. Me, McKenzie, Amy and her boyfriend Jose ran together under the […]
Veggie Quiche Cups
Brunch Week continues! Are you guys loving all of these recipes or what? Imagine how much fun it would be if we all actually got together and hosted a huge brunch for all of our readers. The food! The drinks! It would be amazing…and our stomachs would be bursting at the seams. It’d be a […]
Crumb Cake Parfait
Okay, fellow Brunch lovers, what is the best part of crumb or coffee cake? The crumb topping, of course! I’d much rather eat an entire piece of cake made out of those crumbles, and usually that’s the only part I eat anyway. There’s nothing like a slice of cake with a good, sugary sweet crumbly […]
