Baby Shower Celebration
One of my good friends, Krissy, is having a baby girl! My friend Kristy and I have been excited about putting together her baby shower since the day we found out she was pregnant.

Boca Welcomes The Yard House
Last winter when my parents visited, we went out to Hallandale Beach and ate dinner at a great restaurant called The Yard House. I posted about it here, raving about the variety of food available and how great everything we ordered was. Well, I’m happy to announce that the Yard House had made it’s way […]
A Fudgy, Chocolate, Peanut Butter-filled dessert
I’m back! The past couple weeks have been quite the whirlwind. I finally moved out of my Bubby’s and got my own apartment! I’m just down the street and around the corner, so she hasn’t completely gotten rid of me yet, haha, but I am on my own! It’s been a rough start, and I’m […]
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.

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 […]
