Escape from Hurricane Isaac: NJ Visit Part 3
Being that I’ve gotten to be this crazy baker/chef/food fanatic, my family wanted to see what I could do. My sister and one of her best friends requested I bake something, so I had to come up with something good to impress them. I decided on a banana-Nutella bread, loaded with chocolate chips and topped […]
Escape from Hurricane Isaac: NJ Visit Part 2
Saturday was my cousin Katie’s wedding in Old City, Philadelphia. The wedding ceremony was in Old St. Joseph’s Church, the oldest Roman Catholic Church in Philly. Katie looked absolutely stunning; her dress was gorgeous. I loved how different it was — white mermaid style bottom with a strapless silver glittery top, separated by a gorgeous […]
Escape from Hurricane Isaac: NJ Visit Part 1
Florida got a visit from Hurricane Isaac last weekend and I was lucky enough to escape before he arrived. It just so happened that the weekend I booked my flight home for my cousin’s wedding was the very same weekend that Isaac decided it was a good time to grace South Florida with his presence. […]
Mashed Cinnamon-Chipotle Sweet Potatoes
If you asked me what season holds the best flavors, my answer is fall — hands down. I bet most people would answer the same way. Seriously, there is nothing better than the taste and smell of all things cinnamon, pumpkin, apple, gingerbread, caramel, pecan… I mean, who doesn’t get all warm and fuzzy inside […]
A peek into the mind of yours truly…
I’m coming up on the year anniversary since I moved to Florida and every day that goes by makes me realize how much the decision to move here has changed my life. For starters, if you went back a few years and asked any of my friends and family if they thought I’d turn into […]
Celebrate National Apple Week
Happy National Apple Week! I love biting into a juicy apple any time of the year, but this fruit really reminds me of fall, which is creeping up on us and will be here before we know it. The second week of August celebrates the apple, giving us a little taste of this season and […]
Bare Fruit Snacks Giveaway!
I love finding new products on my own, but I like it even more when new products find me! Recently, Bare Fruit Snacks contacted me about their low-calorie, high fiber, naturally sweet snacks. I hadn’t heard of the brand, so I looked it up and it seemed right up my alley. Bare Fruit snacks are […]
Fruity Summertime Salad
Summertime and salads seem to go hand in hand, at least in my mind. I don’t just mean your quintessential salad made of lettuce, some cut up veggies and tossed in a boring dressing; I mean colorful, refreshing, creative salads made with all different types of ingredients — pasta, veggies, fruit, beans, etc. Food is […]
A recipe of my very own! White Bean & Artichoke Salad
Remember my Passover seder post? I told you about an artichoke and white bean salad made for us by my aunt’s friend. I loved it, and have been itching to try it out ever since. But you know me, I hate to simply follow a recipe exactly how it should be. Instead of making this […]
Foodie Reads
So you’ve already gathered that I love to blog, cook, bake and eat out. Something you may not know is that I am an avid reader and always have a book on my bedside table ready to read. I am about to jump on the Fifty Shades of Grey bandwagon as soon as my friend […]
