Tapas Party: Quinoa Salad with Roasted Kambocha Squash, Dried Cherries, Toasted Pine Nuts and Balsamic
There is something to be said about simple meals that require you to just throw a bunch of things in a bowl and call it a day. They are always crowd pleasers, easily adaptable to just about any occasion, and full of so many different textures and flavors, it’s hard to stop shoveling forkful after forkful into your […]
Whole Foods Italian Wine Tasting #WFMwine
Have you ever walked into a grocery store to pick up a few things and suddenly find yourself in the midst of a wine tasting? Yep, that happens often, especially in Whole Foods. I remember one time I stopped in after the gym to get some fruit and all of a sudden I turn around […]
Creamy Goat Cheese Quinoa Stuffed Tomatoes for #SundaySupper
I like to eat “stuffed” food. It’s fun to mix a bunch of things together and throw it into something, bake it, and call it dinner. You can make all kinds of wild and crazy combinations. Think about the endless options of things you can stuff! Eggplant, zucchini, peppers, mushrooms, tortillas, pita, puff pastry, cupcakes, even […]
Tapas Party: Mango-Peach Guacamole Cups
Guacamole is one of those foods that every good party needs to have. What good is a tableful of appetizers if you don’t have a variety of chips and dips?! Obviously, the first thing I like to do at a party is beeline it over to the food. It’s a must for any foodie. We’ve gotta […]
#BiteIntoSummer with Betty Crocker Watermelon Cupcakes
Many food brands are heavily influenced by the changing of the seasons and the temperatures outside. Betty Crocker has certainly let summer take full rein — where else would the idea for Watermelon Cake and Frosting come from?! This all-new cupcake mix is exclusively available at Target. Target is my favorite place to go to for baking […]
Boca Bacchanal Grand Tasting 2014
Another year of Boca Bacchanal has come and gone. For anyone who may be unfamiliar with this annual weekend-long culinary festival, Boca Bacchanal is full of food and wine events all supporting the Boca Raton Historical Society and Museum. The weekend starts with Vintner Dinners where guests dine in the private homes of Boca locals and […]
Tapas Party: Grilled Veggie and Goat Cheese Quesadillas
Time for another Tapas Party dish! These Grilled Veggie and Goat Cheese Quesadillas were a handful. Had I not had Zach’s help, I don’t think these would have gone out to the party guests. I sliced up all the veggies during my prep night to avoid that time-consuming job on the day of the party. Thin slices […]
BocaLocals Hosts the First March Meatball Madness
A panel of foodies, including bloggers, critics, and media, visited a whole slew of restaurants throughout the month of March in search of the best meatball. The meatballs were judged on taste, texture, presentation, and originality — and there sure were a few very original takes on this traditional spaghetti-companion. BocaLocals hosted the event, and restaurants in and around Boca Raton were […]
Tapas Party: Mini Salmon Cakes with Chili Garlic Dipping Sauce
These Mini Salmon Cakes were responsible for another one of my proudest moments of the night, when I realized I’m totally and 100% capable of throwing a bunch of things in a bowl, mixing them together and creating something totally crave worthy. And I know they were craveworthy because they were gone pretty fast. I’m glad I grabbed one early […]
Mini Zucchini and Carrot Bread for #LeftoversClub
Sometimes I find it so hard to think up of things to make for #leftoversclub. First of all, it has to be something that will travel well. So that leaves out anything that could melt, anything that needs to be refrigerated, and anything that could fall apart. Cookies, cupcakes and quick breads are always favorites, […]
