Baklava – Guest Post from The Hill Country Cook
I’m off to New York City this week for Book Expo America. In case you thought that this blog was my full time job (I wish!), it’s not. I actually work for a book publishing company, Publish On Demand Global, as their Communications Director. My work mainly consists of social media marketing and promotion, writing […]
Salted Caramel Butterscotch Brownies #FWCon
Fudgy, gooey, chocolatey brownies filled to the brim with butterscotch chips and topped with homemade salted caramel sauce. Have I grabbed your attention? These are the BEST brownies I’ve ever made. I’ve made some pretty good ones, but these? These totally surpass everything else. I mean, homemade salted caramel sauce says it all, doesn’t it? After making […]
Ten Recipes Perfect for Memorial Day
Happy Memorial Day! This weekend marks the official start of summer — even though here in Florida it always feels like summer. For all of you who don’t live in Florida, I bet you’re excited to pack up your sweaters and boots and break out the sundresses and flip flops! I’ve always spent Memorial Day on the beach, lathered […]
What I Learned at BlogHer Food
BlogHer Food was full of mind-blowing information, especially for someone like me who really doesn’t get the business-end of things. I’m eager to learn, though. I want to know how to work with all the brands I love, I want to monetize through ad networks, I want to increase my reach and understand the analytics behind all of […]

Food Bloggers Invade Miami! Recap of BlogHer Food Part 1
I’m finally ready to sit down and tell you all about BlogHer Food.. Words cannot describe how motivated I felt when I got home from Miami. I spent four days with bloggers I have been following since I started, women I admire and go to for recipe ideas, advice, and when I want to salivate over […]
Miami Restaurant Review: Perfecto
When you go out to eat with people, do you prefer ordering an entree for yourself or do you like to order a bunch of different appetizers and taste a bit of everything? I’m the latter. Most of the time, I don’t like one-note meals. I like to sample a variety of food, tapas-style. When […]
Greek Quinoa Salad with Garlic-Arugula Pesto
This Greek Quinoa Salad is the perfect summer dish — you should always have good outdoor-friendly recipes for beach picnics, poolside parties, boat excursions, and any other sun-induced activities. Last month, I experienced my first Boca Bash — a huge party out on Lake Boca, where you will find just about anyone who has a boat or […]
Delray Restaurant Review: Denise’s Foodie Event at DIG Delray
NOTE: This restaurant has since closed. I am decompressing from the past weekend spent in Miami at BlogHer Food. I’m still on such a high from the whole thing I can’t even bring myself to give you a recap yet, but I promise by the end of the week I’ll tell you all about the […]
