I love that I get to travel, and I especially love that I am going to get to give one of you a night away…either in New York City (oh, you SHOULD), or anywhere a Homewood Suites can be found. So, a huge thank you to Homewood Suites for the opportunity to see what your […]
I can’t believe it’s Independence Day already. Well, almost, anyway. It’s full on summer. Backyard barbeques, beach trips, pool days and wide open windows at night. Good stuff. Let’s embrace it while we can, because I guarantee, in two blinks we will be wrapped up in parkas again, shivering in our boots, wishing for sunny […]
Good morning, dairy lovers! In case you weren’t aware, June is National Dairy Month, and to celebrate the occasion, Real Seal is hosting a pin to win sweepstakes. You could win a $100 VISA gift card just by re-pining your favorite dairy recipe in the Real Seal Pin to Win sweepstakes. Money? For Pinning? Truth. […]
Yes, you read that correctly. Dreamsicle Popovers, and you can totally make them, too. You may or may not recall my affinity for the popover. A cross between a souffle and french toast, perhaps? Silly easy to make, and soooo dreamy. (See what I did there? Dreamy. I’m a writer, you guys. A WRY-TER.) Take […]
I’m freakishly busy. So busy, in fact, I can’t even make you a dessert. But…worry not, I’ve made LOTS of desserts, and therefore I have LOTS of desserts that will make your Thanksgiving dinner delicious. Truth. Let’s start with this Candy Apple Pie. I’ve shared it here several times, and with good reason…it’s incredible. A […]
Looking for the perfect way to change up a weeknight meal? Apple Cranberry Chicken Orzo is it. Easy, flavorful, and such great texture. I absolutely adore it. But before I delve into the recipe, let’s talk a little about the season, shall we? The air is brisker, the nights are longer, the leaves are almost […]
Sugar Free Low Carb Cream Cheese Brownies. This is quite possible the first time you’ve seen me use the words Sugar and Free in the same sentence. And Low Carb? Sugar Free Low Carb and Yet Really Good Cream Cheese Brownies. Surely, I jest. Oh, but I am afraid not. You see, I am a […]
A couple of weeks ago, my little family and I boarded the beautiful (and totally made over) Carnival Sunshine. The Carnival Sunshine is a complete and utterly transformed ship from it’s original status as the Destiny. A massive undertaking, the Destiny spent only a few short weeks (about 15!) being gutted, redesigned, built on to, […]
Sometimes in life, the simplest recipe is the best recipe. No need to gussy it up, no need to use some new fangled technique. No need for an exotic ingredient. Nope, just simple and insanely delicious can be the exact same thing. Take for example, these Bacon Roasted Vidalia Onions. Gorgeous Vidalia onions, thickly sliced, […]
Things have changed for me lately. A lot. I’m not one of those people who likes to talk about physical fitness, about diets, or about anything of the sort. I like to talk about cake. Cookies. Brownies made with bacon and caramel. But here’s the thing…talking about it is ONE thing, eating it, and plenty […]
Looking for the perfect weekend in Boston? I can’t believe I haven’t shared this trip with you yet. Of course, it feels like I JUST went, but, it’s been a full month now! Back in the day, pre-kiddo, I would take a huge trip every year for my birthday. Now? It’s harder to get away, […]
Okay, okay…I wrote the first part of this wrap up over two weeks ago, swearing I would write the rest of it the VERY NEXT DAY. I meant I would write it today. or something like that. You see, I got lazy, or busy, or lazy. It happens. But honest, I didn’t mean to let […]
