Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Grocery shopping takes skill. It’s something you have to learn to master — scoping out the sales, clipping coupons, finding the best buy for your money. My dad has always been really good at that kind of stuff, and would encourage me to shop smart, especially when it comes to brand name vs. generic. Most […]
Nutella Brownies
What’s better than a chocolate brownie? How about a chocolate brownie with Nutella swirled inside and crumbled Ferraro Rocher on top? Sounds like a winner to me! On my days off, you will most likely find me in the kitchen trying out a recipe from Pinterest, creating my own recipe for that night’s dinner, or […]
Pink Lemonade Cupcakes
Food bloggers are often asked what their favorite kitchen appliance is, or which one they think they couldn’t live without. My answer is always my 7-quart KitchenAid stand mixer. That thing is amazing – not to mention freaking ginormous. My roommate Amy’s daughter, Emma, absolutelyloved the fact that I was bringing it with me when […]
Delray Restaurant: Buddha Sky Bar
I haven’t gone out for sushi in such a long time, and I’ve seriously been craving it lately. So when a new friend suggested going to a spot with a great happy hour, I was all for it. I have wanted to check out Buddha Sky Bar in Delray since it opened. It sits above […]
Homemade Larabar Bites
It’s funny – I don’t care much for candy bars. I never have a craving for a Peanut Chew like my dad does (he’s got a stash in his car, I kid you not!) or pop Raisinettes like it’s nobody’s business. I do love M&Ms and if you put a bowl in front of me, […]
Top Chef Fan Favorite Kevin Gillespie at Publix Aprons
So…working at Publix Aprons definitely has its perks – one of them being that we get to hang out with super-awesome celebrity chefs when they come to do demonstrations at the school. June ended with a huge bang when we had Top Chef Fan Favorite Kevin Gillespie come in. It was a full house and […]
Publix Aprons: What I Made
Life at Publix has been pretty busy lately. Our summer schedule is out and packed with tons of really awesome classes. There were a few recipes from previous classes that I wanted to try, and I was able to get to a few over the past couple of weeks. The Onion Focaccia was one that […]
Moving and a Boca Restaurant Review: Rock Steady
I’m officially moved out of my apartment and into the new place! Moving daywent so much quicker than I thought it would. We had tons of help, including Emma and her cousin and friends — they were great for taking care of all the little/light things. The men took care of the major furniture, and […]
Fort Lauderdale Restaurant: The Foxy Brown
You know those times when you’re so hungry that you don’t care what or where you eat, just as long as food is in your mouth within 30 seconds? Yeah, I had a night like that recently. My plans to go to American Social on Las Olas in Fort Lauderdale with McKenzie were completely ruined […]
Apple Ginger Smoothie
I have grown to absolutely love ginger since starting my job at Publix Aprons. So many of our recipes, especially the Asian-inspired dishes, call on this ingredient for its spicy, sweet flavor. I never really thought too much about it before, using the ground version here and there in recipes, but never did I imagine […]
