WOW! I am 4 days away from speaking at BlogHer Food ’13. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little bit nervous… but I am equally excited too. I am really looking forward to meeting some new food bloggers and of course all the excursions around Austin! I LOVE the food...

SPRING IS FINALLY HERE! Dust off those barbecues people… it is time to get outside and grill! Shish kebabs are one of my favorite meals to eat and make when the weather warms up. They’re basically the spring and summer equivalent of a one-pot dinner- with minimal preparation and cleanup, and a super easy...

Happy New Year’s Eve! It’s insanity how fast this year has gone by. So many awesome things have happened this year- from starting a new job, making new friends, traveling to new cities, celebrating my 100th post and 2nd year blogging here, and -oh yeah- getting ENGAGED!!

Happy 2012, everybody! I hope your New Year’s was great, wherever you celebrated it. Mine was very low-key, but really nice. My man and I stayed here in NJ and went out for an awesome steak dinner before heading home to watch Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper on CNN to ring in the New...

I’ll admit it… I am a big, big fan of takeout. It is sooo tempting to come home from a long day of work and just call up someone else to make food for you, and drive it over to your house. They even give you forks and knives. And a handi-wipe too, if...
