Homemade Sushi
I really want to take cooking classes. While I’ve been able to learn a lot from other bloggers, my Bubby, my parents and from reading lots of food magazines, there is still so much that I don’t know. One of the things I’ve always wanted to do is make my own sushi. Publix offers classes, […]
Thanksgiving recap & holiday baking to look forward to
People don’t waste any time going from one holiday to the next. Thanksgiving JUST happened and already there are Christmas lights up and grocery stores are stocked with eggnog, candy canes and fruitcake (eew!). We haven’t even had time to take off our fat pants from that over-indulgent turkey day dinner — which is good, […]
Pretty Little Liars and Mexican Night!
I don’t know about you, but I am extremely upset that the Pretty Little Liars summer season is over and I have to wait until January for the winter season to start. I just about near had a heart attack after the finale. The betrAyal was NOT by the person I’d imagined it to be! […]
Tropical Grilled Mahi Mahi
One of the best things about living in Florida is you know at least one person with a boat, if not many. There is nothing more relaxing than spending the day out on the water, drinks in hand, sun shining in your face, coasting down the waterway. I live right near the Intracoastal and am […]
Diner Food: Tuna Melts and Fries
One of the things I miss most about New Jersey are all the great diners. Whether you’re there after a late night out packed in the booth with your friends, or waking up early for breakfast and a steaming hot cup of coffee better than any Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts you get on-the-go, it’s always […]
Vegetarian Dinner: Spaghetti Squash & Brussel Sprouts
Sunday nights are normally reserved for dinner dates with Bubby. We frequent lots of local favorites and sometimes we’ll venture out to new spots that we’ve heard good reviews about. This past Sunday, however, hurricane weather was upon us and neither one of us felt much like getting dressed to go out to eat. Instead, […]
Quinoa Mania Continues…
I’m always looking for ways to use Quinoa. Its such a versatile ingredient and I love incorporating it into different recipes. I found one from Two Peas and Their Pod that sounded great: Greek Quinoa Salad. I love Greek-inspired dishes, and especially anything that uses feta cheese. I finally got around to trying my own […]
Introducing…Spaghetti Squash!
I’ve been wanting to experiment with spaghetti squash for a while. My older sister shared a recipe with me served as inspiration to finally get one. She suggested a very basic recipe — mix the squash with tomato sauce and parmesan cheese to mimic your traditional spaghetti dish. Of course I wanted to get creative […]
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, […]
