A peek into the mind of yours truly…
I’m coming up on the year anniversary since I moved to Florida and every day that goes by makes me realize how much the decision to move here has changed my life. For starters, if you went back a few years and asked any of my friends and family if they thought I’d turn into […]
Celebrate National Apple Week
Happy National Apple Week! I love biting into a juicy apple any time of the year, but this fruit really reminds me of fall, which is creeping up on us and will be here before we know it. The second week of August celebrates the apple, giving us a little taste of this season and […]
Chocolate Cherry Muffins
Cherry season is the best time of year for sweet and tart foods! Cherries are so versatile and can be used in recipes for breakfast, dinner, and dessert. I love finding new ways to incorporate them into my meals. What are your favorite cherry-based dishes? My last visit to Publix was met with some gorgeous […]
Bare Fruit Snacks Giveaway!
I love finding new products on my own, but I like it even more when new products find me! Recently, Bare Fruit Snacks contacted me about their low-calorie, high fiber, naturally sweet snacks. I hadn’t heard of the brand, so I looked it up and it seemed right up my alley. Bare Fruit snacks are […]
Restaurant Review: J. Alexander’s
Even though I moved out, weekly dinner dates with my Bubby are still a ritual. Recently she took me to J. Alexander’s, one of the spots she frequents with her group of friends and somewhere I surprisingly haven’t been yet. Before we went, I checked out the restaurant’s website to look at the menu, as […]
Diner Food: Tuna Melts and Fries
One of the things I miss most about New Jersey are all the great diners. Whether you’re there after a late night out packed in the booth with your friends, or waking up early for breakfast and a steaming hot cup of coffee better than any Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts you get on-the-go, it’s always […]
Baby Shower Celebration
One of my good friends, Krissy, is having a baby girl! My friend Kristy and I have been excited about putting together her baby shower since the day we found out she was pregnant. Ideas about games, food, gifts, etc have been floating around our minds for months. So when the time came to finally […]
Boca Welcomes The Yard House
Last winter when my parents visited, we went out to Hallandale Beach and ate dinner at a great restaurant called The Yard House. I posted about it here, raving about the variety of food available and how great everything we ordered was. Well, I’m happy to announce that the Yard House had made it’s way […]
A Fudgy, Chocolate, Peanut Butter-filled dessert
I’m back! The past couple weeks have been quite the whirlwind. I finally moved out of my Bubby’s and got my own apartment! I’m just down the street and around the corner, so she hasn’t completely gotten rid of me yet, haha, but I am on my own! It’s been a rough start, and I’m […]
Vegetarian Dinner: Spaghetti Squash & Brussel Sprouts
Sunday nights are normally reserved for dinner dates with Bubby. We frequent lots of local favorites and sometimes we’ll venture out to new spots that we’ve heard good reviews about. This past Sunday, however, hurricane weather was upon us and neither one of us felt much like getting dressed to go out to eat. Instead, […]
