New Recipe! Baked Eggplant & Veggies…
It’s rare for me to have the energy to actually cook when I get home from work, but somehow I managed to pull it together to whip up a delicious vegetarian dinner for myself this week. Pinterest has really been an eye-opener when it comes to finding new and inspiring dishes. I was definitely inspired […]
My Favorite Protein Shakes
My favorite way to refuel after a good, hard workout is a good, nutritious protein shake. There are a million different combinations you could try for your own shakes, but I always include some sort of food in mine. Check out some of the ones I’ve made recently. Before I moved to Florida, I worked […]
My first visit back home…
After living in Florida for nearly 9 months, I finally headed back to good ol’ South Jersey for a little visit. It was nice going back to see my family and friends, but I wasn’t too thrilled with the weather. As soon as I stepped off the plane and felt the cold air, I wanted […]
Boca Bacchanal Grand Tasting
This month has really been all about food, wine & fun — not that I’m complaining! Last weekend was Boca Bacchanal, a food and wine event hosted by the Boca Raton Historical Society. It began Friday night with Vintner Dinners for some very lucky people. Celebrated chefs and award-winning vintners prepared lavish dinners in specially selected private residences in […]
Food Blog Forum 2012
Last weekend I was lucky enough to experience the Food Blog Forum 2012 held in Orlando. The weekend-long conference was sponsored by Walt Disney World, who really went above and beyond with accommodations for all of the participants. We stayed at Polynesian Resort right on the Disney property and were given 4-day hopper passes to […]
Boca Bacchanal – South Florida Food & Wine Festival
I’m sure all you South Florida foodies know of the wine & food festival, Boca Bacchanal, hosted by the Boca Raton Historical Society. It’s a weekend long festival held in March (this year it’s March 23-25) with plenty of events leading up to it. You can learn all about it here. I joined the Grand […]
My Favorite Foods, A to Z
I thought it would be interesting to put together a list of my favorite foods so my readers can have a peek into my foodie brain and see what really makes me swoon. But it would be so hard to think of everything! To maker it a little easier (and more fun), I decided to do […]
Ode to Red Chili Pepper Spread
Some people like mayonnaise, some like sour cream; Some people like ketchup, but those people aren’t me. Some people use salsa, some people use dip; Some like to use cheese to smother on their chips. Some people cook with herbs, some with lots of spices; Some even use chocolate — we all have our vices. […]
First Recipe of 2012: Cranberry-Applesauce Bars
A free afternoon can only mean one thing: more time to make use of the kitchen. I haven’t baked since my Eight Days of Hanukkah posts and I was starting to get antsy. Pretty soon I may not have much time to cook or bake often so I figure I’d better get in as much […]
New Year’s Resolutions, Foodie-Style
2011 was a good one for me in many ways. It sparked a fire that led me to make a big move in my life, which also led me to find a new interest that I’m really enjoying. I have always been a fan of dining out and trying new restaurants, but since I moved […]
