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 […]
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. […]
