Ikea to the Rescue! …And Walnut Arugula Pesto

One of my goals for the new year was to fix up my apartment. Out of nowhere, my mom has gone all gung-ho over the idea and we’ve both been browsing Ikea’s website/catalog for ideas. The closest Ikea is in Sunrise, so I definitely have to plan on taking a little trip to check out […]

Quinoa and Veggie Stuffed Peppers

Planning ahead is super important when you’re cooking dinner for more than just yourself. When you’re the only one eating, it’s okay if it ends up sucking. You just throw it out and make something else. No one ever has to know you messed up. But when someone else is going to eat your food, […]

My First (Last Minute Trip) to Vegas, cont.

You can thank me now for not including my entire trip in yesterday’s post. That would be have been way too long. But I know you all want to hear about the rest of my stay in Vegas so here you go! On Night #3, we remained at Mandalay Bay after the show for drinks […]

My First (Last Minute) Trip to Las Vegas!

If you could think of the most nerve-wracking thing your boss can tell you on a Monday afternoon when you’ve been bombarded with paperwork and phone calls, I doubt it would involve the words “you’re going to Las Vegas tomorrow.” But yep, that’s exactly what happened to me last week. I’m not sure if I’ve […]

Creamy Stuffed Strawberries

Whoever came up with the idea to stuff sweets into other sweets is a genius. I’m serious. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are the prime example here; stuffing peanut butter inside chocolate. Pure awesomeness. Stuffed cupcakes were super popular this past year too. Jennifer over at Picky Palate is the stuffed cookie queen with her Oreo-stuffed-chocolate-chip […]

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Smoothie

I’ve mentioned before that when I lived in NJ, I worked at a gym with an awesome cafe and juice bar. One of my absolute favorite things to do was come up with new smoothie and protein shake flavors. There were so many ingredients to choose from that it was pretty easy to make just […]

A Twist on Taste at The Rebel House

People have been raving to me about this new restaurant, The Rebel House, since it opened. I was supposed to go there New Year’s Eve and was soooooo excited, but as you can read in my previous post, that got all messed up. BUT, we were not going to let the chance to go slip […]

My Last Meal of 2012 at 50 Ocean

Can you believe we’re already a week into 2013? New Years Eve was an interesting day for me. I was really looking forward to the plans I had for the evening — dinner at The Rebel House, followed by some bar hopping along the Ave in Delray where we’d see the fireworks at midnight. Welp, […]

Happy New Year!

  New year, new look. It was time for the blog to get a little bit of a facelift, and what better time to do so than right now, as we are about to roll into 2013. New Year’s Eve is always quite the time for celebration. Whether you’re headed out to paint the town […]

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 […]
