My Favorite Foods, A to Z
I thought it would be interesting to put together a list of my favorite foods so my readers can have a peek into my foodie brain and see what really makes me swoon. But it would be so hard to think of everything! To maker it a little easier (and more fun), I decided to do […]
Ode to Red Chili Pepper Spread
Some people like mayonnaise, some like sour cream; Some people like ketchup, but those people aren’t me. Some people use salsa, some people use dip; Some like to use cheese to smother on their chips. Some people cook with herbs, some with lots of spices; Some even use chocolate — we all have our vices. […]
First Recipe of 2012: Cranberry-Applesauce Bars
A free afternoon can only mean one thing: more time to make use of the kitchen. I haven’t baked since my Eight Days of Hanukkah posts and I was starting to get antsy. Pretty soon I may not have much time to cook or bake often so I figure I’d better get in as much […]
Last Meals of 2011: Renzo’s, Calypso, Villagio’s
It is a new year, but I haven’t forgotten the restaurants I visited as 2011 came to a close. The last couple weeks of the year were spent at a few new places in the area. Each of these dinners was a celebration of some sort and all very well-deserving of a good meal. Let’s […]
New Year’s Resolutions, Foodie-Style
2011 was a good one for me in many ways. It sparked a fire that led me to make a big move in my life, which also led me to find a new interest that I’m really enjoying. I have always been a fan of dining out and trying new restaurants, but since I moved […]
“Jewish Weapons of Mass Destruction”
My dad sent me this; I don’t know who wrote it, but it’s pretty funny so I had to share. People always ask me what the quintessential “Jewish” foods are. Well, here ya go! Jewish Weapons of Mass Destruction Latkes: A pancake-like structure, not to be confused with anything a first-class health restaurant would put out. In […]
On the 8th Day of Hanukkah
For the last day of Hanukkah, I wanted to show off some of the holiday fare my family and friends were generous enough to share with me. My mom put together a delicious spread to celebrate the end of the holiday. A combination of fruit, potato latkes and her take on a Western-style Omelette completed […]
On the 7th Day of Hanukkah…
The holidays are always filled with lots of food. People break out their “fat pants” and flowy dresses so they can indulge a bit more without feeling those tight waistbands. But fear not! Here is a delicious dessert that won’t break the scale, but will still satisfy your sweet tooth. Thank you, Skinnytaste, for for […]
On the 6th day of Hanukkah…
Merry Christmas, foodies! If you’re like me and my family, you will be spending today eating Chinese food or some other kind of Asian cuisine, and going to the movies. This is the stereotypical day for a Jewish family that isn’t joining in on any Christmas celebrations. So in honor of this tradition, I made […]
On the 5th Day of Hanukkah…
Just because I live in Florida and the temperature hasn’t dipped below 70 yet doesn’t mean I don’t associate the holidays with a little frostbite and snowfall. Winters in New Jersey over the past couple years have not been fun; there was more snow than I care to recall and the thermometer boasted single-digit numbers […]
