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 […]
Go Nuts & Cranberries for Chicken Salad!
Inspiration for recipe development can come from anything. Recently, mine came in the form of Greek yogurt. Chobani, to be exact. Last month right around my birthday, I jokingly tweeted the brand saying something along the lines of ‘why not send one of your biggest fans a birthday present?’ I didn’t really expect a response, […]
Boca Bacchanal Grand Tasting
This month has really been all about food, wine & fun — not that I’m complaining! Last weekend was Boca Bacchanal, a food and wine event hosted by the Boca Raton Historical Society. It began Friday night with Vintner Dinners for some very lucky people. Celebrated chefs and award-winning vintners prepared lavish dinners in specially selected private residences in […]
Food Blog Forum 2012
Last weekend I was lucky enough to experience the Food Blog Forum 2012 held in Orlando. The weekend-long conference was sponsored by Walt Disney World, who really went above and beyond with accommodations for all of the participants. We stayed at Polynesian Resort right on the Disney property and were given 4-day hopper passes to […]
My 24th Birthday Weekend!
Birthdays are all about celebrating, and one of the best ways to celebrate something is with lots of fun, food & of course, friends. This is exactly how I spent my 24th birthday weekend. Thank you so much to two of my best friends, Leanne and Kelly, for coming down to visit and spend my […]
Girls night in with Mango/Orange Scallops
What better way to unwind than with good food and good company? Sounds like the perfect night to me. My best friend in Boca, Kristy, who is also from South Jersey (we worked together and moved here a year apart) and I decided to have a girls night. But, instead of going out to eat, we […]
Recipe Spotlight: Chai Sugar Cookies
I’m not the only one in my family who blogs about food. In fact, my cousin Emily was one of the first bloggers I started to follow, and she is one of the first people to spark my interest in cooking. Check out her blog at Corcoran Street Kitchen; I promise you won’t be disappointed. […]
Fat Tuesday Inspiration
This past Tuesday, also known as Fat Tuesday, inspired me to do a little cooking in honor of Mardi Gras. I got home from work a little early and was very excited to actually have time to cook a decent dinner. The spicy taste of the south can be overwhelming, but I do love Old […]
Valentine’s Day Sweets
Baking for Valentine’s Day is a must in my book. Having people to bake for is often the problem, but with a building full of co-workers with an appetite it’s not too hard to find mouths to feed. I didn’t want to be too outlandish, since I wasn’t sure how daring the people I work with are […]
Boca Bacchanal – South Florida Food & Wine Festival

It’s a weekend long festival held in March (this year it’s March 23-25) with plenty of events leading up to it. You can learn all about it here. I joined the Grand […]
