New Recipe! Baked Eggplant & Veggies…
It’s rare for me to have the energy to actually cook when I get home from work, but somehow I managed to pull it together to whip up a delicious vegetarian dinner for myself this week. Pinterest has really been an eye-opener when it comes to finding new and inspiring dishes. I was definitely inspired […]
Recent Restaurant Reviews: City Fish Market, Truluck’s
I’ve been to a few new restaurants (new to me, at least) over the past couple weeks. It’s time to recap the experiences and give my readers some new Boca area places to try. On Mother’s Day, Bubby and I went to Brio for some good Italian food. I had heard this restaurant was really […]
My Favorite Protein Shakes
My favorite way to refuel after a good, hard workout is a good, nutritious protein shake. There are a million different combinations you could try for your own shakes, but I always include some sort of food in mine. Check out some of the ones I’ve made recently. Before I moved to Florida, I worked […]
Crispy Cakey Chocolate Chip Cookies
As the baking frenzy continues, the next thing on my list was chocolate chip cookies. But not just any chocolate chip cookies, these were going to be food Network Magazine-style! The March issue was “The Chocolate Issue,” and let me tell you…they did not skimp on any recipes. There were 50 recipes for brownies alone, […]
Mini Cherry Pie
I’ve really been on a baking kick lately. My co-workers love it, but I think I need to start cooking real food again and not so many desserts! I just love my new mixer so much. Maybe I’ll try something ambitious like making bread or something more savory… but not before I share with you […]
Oreos + Chocolate Chip Cookies = Sinfully Delicious!
Oreo-filled desserts are pretty popular, especially on the Pinterest circuit. I’m constantly coming across pictures of cookies and brownies with Oreos as the main ingredient. Since I still had some leftover from the brownies I made a couple weekends ago, I decided to try another recipe. This time I turned to The Picky Palate’s chocolate […]
My first visit back home…
After living in Florida for nearly 9 months, I finally headed back to good ol’ South Jersey for a little visit. It was nice going back to see my family and friends, but I wasn’t too thrilled with the weather. As soon as I stepped off the plane and felt the cold air, I wanted […]
Baking with my new KitchenAid Stand Mixer!
After weeks of waiting for my KitchenAid 7-quart stand mixer (that I won at the food Blog Forum) to arrive, I was finally greeted by an enormous box from Fedex last Monday when I got home from work. I’m not kidding you when I say this box is literally half my size. It took me […]
Golden Fried Matzo
One of my favorite things about Passover is my dad’s chocolate chip Matzobrei or “fried matzo.” He makes it every year. Eggs, matzo, chocolate chips and grape jelly — it’s our most loved Passover breakfast food. The recipe is super simple and takes no time at all to make, so anyone can do it. Since […]
Family Passover Sedar
It has been awhile since my last post about a family dinner get-together. Passover began last weekend, so tradition brought us all together for a seder dinner at my aunt’s. There are specific things you can’t eat during the week of Passover — basically anything made with flour. Despite the fact that this seems to […]
