Escape from Hurricane Isaac: NJ Visit Part 2
Saturday was my cousin Katie’s wedding in Old City, Philadelphia. The wedding ceremony was in Old St. Joseph’s Church, the oldest Roman Catholic Church in Philly. Katie looked absolutely stunning; her dress was gorgeous. I loved how different it was — white mermaid style bottom with a strapless silver glittery top, separated by a gorgeous […]
Escape from Hurricane Isaac: NJ Visit Part 1
Florida got a visit from Hurricane Isaac last weekend and I was lucky enough to escape before he arrived. It just so happened that the weekend I booked my flight home for my cousin’s wedding was the very same weekend that Isaac decided it was a good time to grace South Florida with his presence. […]
Pretty Little Liars and Mexican Night!
I don’t know about you, but I am extremely upset that the Pretty Little Liars summer season is over and I have to wait until January for the winter season to start. I just about near had a heart attack after the finale. The betrAyal was NOT by the person I’d imagined it to be! […]
Mashed Cinnamon-Chipotle Sweet Potatoes
If you asked me what season holds the best flavors, my answer is fall — hands down. I bet most people would answer the same way. Seriously, there is nothing better than the taste and smell of all things cinnamon, pumpkin, apple, gingerbread, caramel, pecan… I mean, who doesn’t get all warm and fuzzy inside […]
Tropical Grilled Mahi Mahi
One of the best things about living in Florida is you know at least one person with a boat, if not many. There is nothing more relaxing than spending the day out on the water, drinks in hand, sun shining in your face, coasting down the waterway. I live right near the Intracoastal and am […]
A Little Taste of Italy: Lunch at Maggiano’s
By now you should know my friend, Kristy, who has been mentioned in quite a few of my posts. It’s great having her in Florida with me. We are both complete Jersey Girls at heart, but we love our new lives down here. While we both love to cook and bake, we never shy away from going out […]
Time to play party host!
After moving into my own place, one of the things I was most excited for was entertaining and having guests over for dinner. I don’t do much cooking on the weekend since I usually go out to dinner, but recently I thought it would be fun to cook dinner and invite a few friends over. […]
The easiest cookie recipe you’ll ever find…
Aside from watching just about every cooking competition on TV, I’ve also got a pretty lengthy list of shows that I watch religiously. During the summer, my DVR is no where near as full as it is during the fall/winter season, but there are still a few shows I can’t do without. One of which […]
A Hidden Gem: The Cuban Cafe
I had another great dinner with my Bubby this past weekend at a local spot that she loves. The Cuban Cafe is tucked away in a real quiet strip mall; you would never know it was there if you didn’t already know about it. When you walk inside, you’re instantly hit with Cuban style and […]
Restaurant Review: Yakitori Sake House
Every now and then I receive e-mail from Living Social or Groupon for something I actually would want to take advantage of. Most of the time the deals are random things that don’t really pique my interest, so I delete them without taking a second glance. But recently, I came across one that made me […]
