Mom’s Visit to Boca: Brio, Two George’s. DaDa’s
Mother-daughter relationships are interesting. When you’re in middle and high school, you don’t want anything to do with your mom. Then you go to college and you start to tolerate her more, mostly because you aren’t living with her anymore. Then you graduate college and move out on your own, in my case many states […]
Pasta-less Lasagna, Stuffed Mushrooms, Autumn Salad, Oreo Cupcakes and Wine…Perfect Potluck!
Planning dinner parties is becoming one of my absolute favorite things to do. I can’t wait until I have a nice dining room set and can really go all out. For now, I do my best with what I’ve got. And ya know what? I am pretty happy with it. Bubby’s card table and chairs […]
What I Love About Fall
I can’t believe it’s already mid-September. Now, you all know I love living in Florida, but now that fall is here and there are no colorful leaves, cool nights, and a reason to get out my sweaters and boots, I have to admit I’m missing Jersey a little bit. HOWEVER, as soon as I hear […]
Dinner at The Atlantic Grille at Seagate Hotel
I love my dinner dates with Bubby. Now that I’m not living with her anymore, it’s important to me that we still have our time together. She loves introducing me to new restaurants, and especially loves finding good restaurants with great dinner deals. How does this one sound? Appetizer, entree and dessert — and a […]
Dark Chocolate Cookie Dough Cups
Life has been super busy. So busy that I haven’t had time to even go food shopping in forever. So busy that I didn’t even realize that I haven’t gone food shopping in forever, until Sunday came and I wanted to bake something to bring to work on Monday. I always like to bake on […]
Dinner Party and Froyo Nutella Banana Cream Pie
In my opinion, spending time in the kitchen with people you love is one of the most rewarding things you can do. Cooking or baking together, or even cooking and baking for one another — either way, it’s a low-key, fun thing to do with friends and family. I love making food and desserts for […]
VIP at The Boca Beach Club
Wednesday will be my one-year anniversary since I moved to Florida. I can’t believe I’ve been here a year — time really has flown. For four months, I was pretty much on vacation. It got to the point where my parents even gave me an ultimatum if I didn’t find a job soon. The new […]
Escape from Hurricane Isaac: NJ Visit Part 4
My last day in Jersey was pretty relaxing, except for constantly checking the weather in Florida to make sure my flight wasn’t affected. I let myself sleep in and then went for a massage at my favorite spa in Galloway, right near the gym where I used to work out. Cloud 9 is awesome; anyone […]
Escape from Hurricane Isaac: NJ Visit Part 3
Being that I’ve gotten to be this crazy baker/chef/food fanatic, my family wanted to see what I could do. My sister and one of her best friends requested I bake something, so I had to come up with something good to impress them. I decided on a banana-Nutella bread, loaded with chocolate chips and topped […]
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 […]
