Time to play party host!
After moving into my own place, one of the things I was most excited for was entertaining and having guests over for dinner. I don’t do much cooking on the weekend since I usually go out to dinner, but recently I thought it would be fun to cook dinner and invite a few friends over. […]
The easiest cookie recipe you’ll ever find…
Aside from watching just about every cooking competition on TV, I’ve also got a pretty lengthy list of shows that I watch religiously. During the summer, my DVR is no where near as full as it is during the fall/winter season, but there are still a few shows I can’t do without. One of which […]
A Hidden Gem: The Cuban Cafe
I had another great dinner with my Bubby this past weekend at a local spot that she loves. The Cuban Cafe is tucked away in a real quiet strip mall; you would never know it was there if you didn’t already know about it. When you walk inside, you’re instantly hit with Cuban style and […]
Restaurant Review: Yakitori Sake House
Every now and then I receive e-mail from Living Social or Groupon for something I actually would want to take advantage of. Most of the time the deals are random things that don’t really pique my interest, so I delete them without taking a second glance. But recently, I came across one that made me […]
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 […]
