My DVR and I almost got into a horrid row yesterday. As I was leaving for my "no you can't wear the stilettos yet" doctor's appointment, I caught a teaser on the Today Show that Colin Cowie was going to be on. I quickly rushed to the TV and set the DVR before I headed out the door. When I got home, guess what wasn't on the DVR – yup, you guessed it – the DVR apparently decided that there would be no spring decorating tips for me. Thankfully, the TODAY Show archives their clips online and … [Read more...]
Kids Are Taking Over The Kitchen
February 28, 2012 By 2 Comments
When I was growing up, the only cooking show that I was even vaguely familiar with was Julia Child's PBS show and, to be honest, I was more interested in watching MTV. Cooking and I never really got along until about 10 years ago. As a "latch-key" kid, memories of cooking with my mother are very rare - I do remember doing the dishes tho. I remember coming home after school and, I'll confess, I was not a stranger to the "mustard sammie" and other things I could muster together that did not … [Read more...]

Nigella Lawson Visits The Today Show And A Regis and Kelly Flashback
November 16, 2011 By Leave a Comment
You know it's not a holiday season until Nigella Lawson visits the Today Show, and, like last year, Nigella was in the Today Show kitchen showing Matt and Ann one of her favorite dishes - Lone Linguine with Truffle Oil as well as a few others. I always joke that if there was ONE cookbook in my collection I would have to save (besides my Bampa's cookbook), it would be my signed copy of Nigella Kitchen. I remember the first time I saw Nigella Lawson, it was on the Style Network and she made … [Read more...]
Cooking School Is In Session With Sherri Shepherd, Nate Berkus and Aaron McCargo, Jr.
November 10, 2011 By 1 Comment
I feel bad for my poor neighbors last night and have to apologize for the hysterical laughter coming from the house. I was watching a DVR'd ep of The Nate Show and The View's own Sherri Shepherd was his co-host. Not only are they a hoot together, but the producers decided that it was time for "Cooking School." Now if any of you watch either The Nate Show or The View, you know that both Nate and Sherri have admitted that cooking is not their forte. Well, one of my fave FN peeps, … [Read more...]
Happy Birthday Julia Child
August 15, 2011 By 2 Comments
Sometimes I think that my brain has escaped and my memory is just not quite there lately. Thankfully, Sur La Table reminded me that today is a day of celebration - Julia Child's birthday. Even when I couldn't cook, I would watch her PBS show and marvel at how she made things accessible for today's home cook. Even on her press appearances, her razor sharp wit was evident - check out this appearance on the David Letterman show in the late 80s where she just rolled with the punches. What a … [Read more...]
Nate Berkus Gets An Insiders View Of The Darby With Alex Guarnaschelli
July 11, 2011 By 4 Comments
During the New York City Wine & Food Festival, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to attend a master cooking class with Food Network's Chef Alex Guarnaschelli which was held at New York City's hottest supper club, The Darby. As you may know, Chef Guarnaschelli is not only the executive chef at Butter, but also is at the helm of The Darby. In my opinion, this master cooking class was one of the highlights of festival and I can't even begin to tell you how it affected my cooking. Having … [Read more...]
Sunny Anderson Showcases Fab 4th of July Sides On GMA
June 30, 2011 By 1 Comment
With the 4th of July fast approaching, Food Network's Sunny Anderson showcased some delish side dishes on Good Morning America this morning, including her Easy Baked Beans, Summer Corn Salad and a creamy Potato and Prosciutto Salad. Well, that corn salad will be on the menu this weekend and, possibly, the baked beans. While the Barefoot Contessa had a good recipe for baked beans, I have to confess, it seemed somewhat daunting to this gal. Sunny's recipe seems super simple and won't have … [Read more...]

Where Wiggy’s Twin Makes A Play For Doritos
February 6, 2011 By 2 Comments
Have you seen the pug attack video yet? Tina over at Carrots 'N Cake referenced it and since Wiggy insists on "reading" (aka looking at her pug Murphy's pics on her blog) daily, I took a peek at the video and oh my lord, I about lost it. See, Wiggy also would pull a pug attack for Doritos – however, he'd prefer the Cool Ranch variety. Here's something to start your week off with a smile. … [Read more...]
