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, […]
Oreo Cheesecake Truffles – No Baking Required!
When the weather is dark and gloomy, as it was all weekend long, there is no better way to lift the mood than by making a little something sweet! Now you know how much I love using my stand mixer, but today I was not feeling up to taking it out and I was definitely […]
Quinoa Mania Continues…
I’m always looking for ways to use Quinoa. Its such a versatile ingredient and I love incorporating it into different recipes. I found one from Two Peas and Their Pod that sounded great: Greek Quinoa Salad. I love Greek-inspired dishes, and especially anything that uses feta cheese. I finally got around to trying my own […]
Introducing…Spaghetti Squash!
I’ve been wanting to experiment with spaghetti squash for a while. My older sister shared a recipe with me served as inspiration to finally get one. She suggested a very basic recipe — mix the squash with tomato sauce and parmesan cheese to mimic your traditional spaghetti dish. Of course I wanted to get creative […]
Fruity Summertime Salad
Summertime and salads seem to go hand in hand, at least in my mind. I don’t just mean your quintessential salad made of lettuce, some cut up veggies and tossed in a boring dressing; I mean colorful, refreshing, creative salads made with all different types of ingredients — pasta, veggies, fruit, beans, etc. Food is […]
A recipe of my very own! White Bean & Artichoke Salad
Remember my Passover seder post? I told you about an artichoke and white bean salad made for us by my aunt’s friend. I loved it, and have been itching to try it out ever since. But you know me, I hate to simply follow a recipe exactly how it should be. Instead of making this […]

Dinner at Wave 2700
NOTE: This restaurant has since closed. Dad’s visit was the perfect excuse to go out for a good dinner. After much deliberation on what kind of food we were all in the mood for, the cuisine chosen was seafood. The destination? Wave 2700. Bubby, Aunt Patty and I went here a while back when it first opened, and […]
Guest Blog from my Dad!
My dad paid me a visit this past week. While we did have a couple nice dinners out, which I will be sure to blog about soon, he ventured out on his own for lunch during the day while I was working. Much to his surprise, he found a little place in Deerfield Beach that […]
Foodie Reads
So you’ve already gathered that I love to blog, cook, bake and eat out. Something you may not know is that I am an avid reader and always have a book on my bedside table ready to read. I am about to jump on the Fifty Shades of Grey bandwagon as soon as my friend […]
