Watermelon, Mango and Arugula Salad #SundaySupper

Watermelon, Mango and Arugula Salad is a colorful mix of fruit and veggies tossed with toasted pine nuts, dried cranberries, feta cheese and a fig jam vinaigrette to make a healthy and refreshing summer dish.  It’s summer. Which means it’s HOT — unless you live in some frozen part of the world, in which case I’m […]

Happy July 4th! Red White and Blue American Pie

Oh hey, Happy Fourth of July! This Red White and Blue American Pie is the perfect dessert to bring to any of the July 4th celebrations you’ve got going on today. I named this pie after my all-time favorite song, “American Pie” by Don McLean (click on the link to download the song on Amazon!). […]

Savor the City Culinary Tours: Pineapple Grove Tour

You all know how much I love going on food tours. What could be more fun than exploring a city and all that its culinary culture has to offer? You remember the Taste Atlantic Ave tour I went on last month with Savor the City Culinary Tours, right? Well, last week Savor the City Culinary […]

Creamy Gruyere Pasta with Shrimp, Tomatoes, and Mushrooms #CKMondaviHeros

Whole grain pasta mixed with a creamy, light gruyere cheese sauce, fresh jumbo shrimp, sweet cherry tomatoes, and sliced Baby Bella mushrooms make for a perfect summer meal, especially when paired with CK Mondavi white wine such as Chardonnay or one of their newest blends, Blonde Five. I don’t normally go for creamy pasta dishes. They’re often […]

Ft. Lauderdale Restaurant Review: Coco Asian Bistro

There aren’t many foods that I get serious cravings for. Obviously I love to eat, but it’s very rare that I’m all “Omg I need to eat this right now or I’m going to die!” However, there are two specific cuisines that every so often…the craving hits…and I won’t be satisfied until I’ve quelled it. Thai and […]

Southwestern Quinoa and Black Bean Patties

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night and find yourself lying in bed for hours upon hours, trying and failing to fall back asleep? It happens to me pretty often. I’m not sure what causes it, or how to prevent it, but every so often I find myself lying there staring at the […]

Denise’s Foodie Events: A Slice of Provence

NOTE: This restaurant has since closed. French…Pizza… Uh, what? That was my reaction when I first heard of this new place in town, A Slice of Provence. The name itself is catchy, and when you pull up to the restaurant you’re immediately intrigued — it really has that “French cafe” ambiance that makes you want to […]
