I know you’re not supposed to try out a new recipe during the holidays but it was one of Jen Altman’s recipes and I knew I couldn’t go wrong. I was also sober at the time- so no mess up. Shocking. Usually heavy and medicinal like, this delightful holiday spirit is light, frothy and down right awesome. [...]

  This was so good. Rich, decadent and crispy. This Boursin creamed spinach went unbelievably great with my perfectly cooked rib-eye steak and my huge glass of Cabernet that I still can’t get off my lips. Literally. Jason is not a big fan of creamed spinach so he prefers a more old school version. Check [...]

  Weeknights are meant for easy peasy meals. After working a whole day, carpool, feeding the animals and getting ready for the babies night-time rituals- the last thing I want to do is slave over a hot stove. Especially in this Florida heat. Blah blah blah. I’m not complaining! I just love coming home from [...]

So apparently my bff Shorty thinks it might be a good idea for me to open up a food cart in my small town. I thinks it’s a great idea, especially if someone else does it. Consider for a minute I have a fun, full-time job, an infant, husband, 3 dogs & 4 cats- another [...]

No excuses but its on like Donkey Kong. However, here are a few examples of why I’ve taken such a  long sabbatical. Blah blah blah been busy. Baby keeping my up at night; hungry for bottle. Don’t have much of an appetite; so let my husband starve. Work driving me crazy because of stupid employees. Unicorns held [...]

There is something retro cool about dips and this could be the coolest. Michael’s Geniune is a very hip restaurant down in Miami’s Design District and their caramelized onion dip is the bomb. If you’re near there, please check out the Dog Bar in Midtown.  It really is the place you’d love if you were a dog (or [...]

Sorry about not cooking or updating the website. My time has been consumed by my li munchkin. I had lost my love for food and would settle for a handful of pretzels over a 4 course meal. Wine goes great with both! However, now I’m back to my old self and just need to prioritize my time better. Full time work, [...]

All I can say is I dream about going to David Lawrence’s house for brunch. His recipes are awesome and he seems like a pretty cool guy to hang out with. I want to kick off the morning with his Raspberry Herb Champagne Cocktail, followed by a hearty Sausage and Grueyre Strata, some Smoked Salmon Napoleons, and [...]

Yum. I found this Smoked Turkey and Zucchini Quiche recipe from Inside The Kaganoff Kitchen. Rachel has the most gorgeous pictures on her blog. The picture of the quiche looked so fluffy and delicious (see above) I knew I needed to make it for my Mother’s Day brunch. This crust-less quiche is filled with shallots, grated [...]

This is probably the best lasagna I’ve had since moving from New York. This is not your traditional red sauced pasta creation. Instead, al dente lasagna noodles and fresh bechamel layers are filled with mild Italian sausage, onion, garlic, Parmigiano-Reggiano, sage and butternut squash. Do not be freaked out by the squash. It is cut into [...]
