It finally decided to get cold here last night. Granted, according to the weather people and the app on my iPhone, it’s only going to be cold for a little while, and then its back to the mid-40s. I’m really particular when it comes to cooking wintery foods. It has to be below 50° outside [...]
There is one thing and one thing ONLY that can make a cold go away quickly. It can’t be purchased at any normal store, nor is it a quick fix… but I promise. It works. It’s something that goes back generations, and I can guarantee you that most Jewish women have a pot that’s specifically [...]
It is undoubtedly one of the toughest things in life when a loved one passes away. I know all of our thoughts, prayers and hugs are with Mara and her family as they mourn the loss of her father. Because thoughts, prayers and hugs (even virtual ones) are the little things that get us by [...]

***Thank you all again, for your votes for me on Project Food Blog! Voting ends on September 23!*** Back in high school, Lizz and I had a fairly out of control obsession with the song of the moment, as most high school girls do. However, this song wasn’t the “it” song by the cute boy [...]
Before I get to dinner, I just want to thank you all from the bottom of my food-nerd heart for voting for me in the Project Food Blog Next Food Blog Star contest! I know that signing up for FoodBuzz might be intimidating, but I promise there will be no spam sent your way! There [...]
I’ve always prided myself on having fairly adventurous tastes when it comes to eating. I like to say that I’d try anything once! But, when it comes to cooking, I’m a bit more reserved. Give me Italian or Asian flavors, and I’m all about them and really know what to do with them. Mexican and [...]
I’m sorry I was such a tease this morning… I know you’re all dying to know my “big news”! I did get a couple guesses, but none of them were quite right! Let me give you some background info before I get to the big announcement (Ok, it might not be that big, but it’s [...]
Happy Wednesday! I’ve come to really enjoy Wednesday evenings because I know that there are only two more wake-ups until the weekend! I hate that Adam has class so late, but I get to watch garbage TV for a few hours, read quietly, or cook stuff I’m not sure he’ll like. Usually, that ends up [...]

Yup! You guessed it! Tonight’s gadget is our handy-dandy, amazingly powerful, super-shiny Cuisinart blender! I’ve been a blender snob for years now. Working as a barista at Starbucks (Store #246!) for 6 years (on and off) and being employed there the summer after the Frappuccino was introduced, I experienced many different blenders. Eventually, Starbucks moved [...]
