A Refreshing Take on Summer Eats with Kings Food Markets

Summer is halfway thru — when it comes to seasonal culinary delights, have you been enjoying the bountiful produce and making the most of your grill? I’d like to say we’ve been entertaining a whole lot, but due to some home improvement projects that have turned our house upside down, we’ve kept our entertaining to […]

Love The Jersey Shore? Then You’ll Love ‘The Jersey Shore Cookbook!’

Let my preface this post by saying I’m a little biased….. From my family’s love of the Jersey Shore to my work as a contributor to JerseyBites.com , not only am I a big fan of anything shore-related — but I’m a big fan of Deborah Smith. Deb is the founder and editor of JerseyBites.com, […]

Meatless Delights with Kings Food Markets {Dedicated}

Those who celebrate Easter know that before the flowers, jelly beans and celebration of Easter Sunday comes the 40 days of fasting and repentance during Lent.  It also means meatless Fridays and in my case, meatless Wednesdays as well (I gave up meat for Lent on Wednesday and Friday — it’s what my mom used […]

Holiday Entertaining with Kings Food Markets {Dedicated}

This is a sponsored post. What better time to become a Kings Food Markets Brand Ambassador than at the holidays!? I’ve been a customer of Kings for many years now, as I’ve been consistently impressed with the Tri-State area gourmet market’s quality, customer service and assortment of exceptional culinary products, and have especially loved to […]

Hooray for Halloween 2014!

Halloween 2014 was a hoot for the mom a la mode family, complete with parades, parties and lots and lots and lots of candy. Festivities began just about a week before Halloween with a Monster Mash at our local YMCA for the kiddies and culminated with an extravaganza at the home of our friends — […]

Summer Entertaining with Kings Food Market

A few weeks back, I had the chance to attend a Summer Tasting Event at my local Kings Food Market in Ridgewood, New Jersey. For those of you who may not be familiar with Kings, it’s a culinary epicenter of food, wine & spirits that prides itself on fresh and premium offerings. It’s our go-to […]

Sharing our #DisneySide  through a Disney at Home Celebration

Another Disney post, yes.  I know, I know. Truthfully, it’s a matter of pure coincidence —  The FROZEN/Kidfresh giveaway and Twitter Party; this #DisneySide party recap…and our upcoming trip to Disneyland next week all back-to-back here on the blog – but frankly, after going through the holiday season and winter my family and I have […]

Meatballs 3 Ways (Just in Time for the Big Game!)

I managed to make three different meatball dishes within the past two weeks of this Polar Vortex extravaganza that is our Northeast Winter.  And wanted to share them here for those who are either fine-tuning their Super Bowl party menus, or looking for some cold weather dinner inspiration to get you through yet another frigid […]
