Fab-Friday-Hurry-Up-Spring

I don't know about you, but I am ready to start a countdown for Spring's arrival. I mean, I love the winter and breaking out the slow cooker, but, quite frankly, this winter has been *ahem* interesting. The weather forecasters here in Philly have been pulling a "Chicken Little" with the "Snow! OMGSNOWMAGGEDON! Wait – we're only getting 4-8" I meant 1-3" – well, there's snow in the forecast for next week" yadda yadda yadda – with each forecast, it's a quest for dramatics. I've given up and, … [Read more...]

Continuing on the last of the 12 8 Days of Giftmas* ideas list, here are the 7 final cookbooks that I adored this year and think would be lovely to give for the holiday season (and beyond).

Did you know that there was a HUNGRY channel on YouTube? Seriously - I'm not kidding - there's actually a channel called HUNGRY.   Even better - the man at the helm of it is from Food Network - Bruce Seidel.  I got wind of the launch of HUNGRY some time ago but finally had a chance to really "dive" in and oh my heavens - there's some seriously fabulous content on there but, then again, I'm not surprised with Bruce at the helm. While perusing the plethora of offerings, I was super stoked … [Read more...]

Mexican Chocolate Brownies

When Michelle from Taste As You Go invited me to guest post while she prepares to marry the love of her life, I was beyond honored.  Taste As You Go is one of my "must read daily" blogs and, well, I couldn't just drop by her blog and post without bearing a scrumptious dish, right?

Secret Recipe Club: Spiced Plum Clafoutis

Spiced Plum Clafoutis

Every month, I look forward to getting a lovely email from the Secret Recipe Club with the details of my next assignment. I look at it as a little bloggy gift – discovering a blog that might or might not have crossed my path. When I get the assignment, I take a few days, wandering through the blog, looking at various recipes, reading their stories and then try to narrow down the recipes that pique my culinary interest. Sometimes it is hard to narrow it down to just a few. There are blogs that … [Read more...]

Fab-Friday-Welcome-Spring-Edition

Yesterday was a gorgeous day here in Philadelphia. The sun was shining. It was close to 70 degrees and there was something about it that reminded me of winters in Orlando – no humidity.  Since I am headed to Orlando next week for Food Blog Forum, I figured that I would focus on things for this week's Fab Friday that just scream the arrival of spring, which is only a few days away after all.

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...]
