Girls night in with Mango/Orange Scallops
What better way to unwind than with good food and good company? Sounds like the perfect night to me. My best friend in Boca, Kristy, who is also from South Jersey (we worked together and moved here a year apart) and I decided to have a girls night. But, instead of going out to eat, we […]
Fat Tuesday Inspiration
This past Tuesday, also known as Fat Tuesday, inspired me to do a little cooking in honor of Mardi Gras. I got home from work a little early and was very excited to actually have time to cook a decent dinner. The spicy taste of the south can be overwhelming, but I do love Old […]
Grilled Chicken & Squash/Zucchini Casserole
I am still pretty new at this whole cooking thing, so every now and then things don’t go as planned. I recently cooked a dinner of grilled chicken and a squash and zucchini casserole.

Thank you once again to Skinnytaste for this great recipe – Thai Chicken and Pineapple Stir Fry. Gina of Skinnytaste recommends using a pineapple […]
The Best Meal of the Year: Thanksgiving!
November 26, 2011 I have been itching to write this post since I started my food writing frenzy! Thanksgiving is by far my favorite day of the year: glutton without guilt! I love everything about Thanksgiving dinner, from the preparation to the after-dinner food coma. This year was both special and sad for me. Special […]
Sunday Funday in the Kitchen
November 22, 2011 Everyone enjoys a good Sunday Funday. What better way to wind down the weekend than by hanging out with friends and enjoying yourself before you have to jump back into the work week? This past weekend, I spent all day Sunday at a friend’s in Delray watching football and just hanging out. […]
