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 […]
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 […]
