Popping Open Some Pink Bubbly this Valentine’s Day

Popping Open Some Pink Bubbly this Valentine’s Day

A bottle of white…a bottle of red…perhaps a bottle of rosé instead? Ah, the Piano Man does know how to craft a memorable lyric.  And the folks at Anna de Codorníu sure know how to craft a memorable bottle of bubbly. Truth be told, I wasn’t familiar with Anna de Codorníu, Spain’s leading sparkling wine […]

You Gotta Try This #StonyfieldGreek!

You Gotta Try This #StonyfieldGreek!

As if it were possible for me to not love Greek yogurt any more than I already do….behold – a new Greek yogurt from my good friends at Stonyfield. One of the main reasons why I love Stonyfield products (heck, I’m a brand ambassador!), is that they’re obsessive over everything they put IN to their […]

{Guest Post} Where to Dine with Your Valentine in NYC

Before becoming a mom, NYC blogger Lainie Gutterman was a founding partner of a boutique Public Relations firm.  Those who know her describe her as “a natural born publicist who is constantly spreading the word about new products, activities and events.”  In this special guest post – just in time for Valentine’s Day! – this […]

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

A la Mode on the Road: New York State Dairy Tour

Just before the holidays, I had the chance to take my very first press trip, sponsored by the American Dairy Association & Dairy Council.  My charge was to head on up to the Finger Lakes region of New York State to experience local food, wine – and of course – dairy.  It was a weekend […]

A New Year’s Treat for New York Metro Area Dunkin’ Donuts Fans {$25 Giveaway Closed}

A few years back when The Hubs and I would commute to work into the city together, our first stop would always be the Dunkin’ Donuts located just steps from our building. He’d get a medium hot coffee – milk, no sugar – and I’d get either an iced decaf with skim or an iced […]

Pork, Beans and Greens: Our New Year’s Day Foodie Traditions

Just before heading out to dinner last night, I made sure to turn off my lentil soup that was simmering away on the stove. Because what is New Year’s Eve without legumes??? Legend has it that if one does not consume at least a cup of peas, beans or lentils within 24 hours of the […]

{Recipe} Fast, Easy Shrimp Oreganata

Who doesn’t love a fast, easy and outrageously delicious shrimp dish that can be served hot or room temperature?  This Shrimp Oreganata recipe hails from my Entertaining with the Sopranos cookbook which was given to me by my mom a few Christmases ago, with the inscription: “May your home always be filled with family and […]

How I Created 3 Yummy Dinners with $25 from ALDI (and you can, too!) {Giveaway Closed}

I first became aware of ALDI supermarkets when my brother lived in Germany.  And then slowly started to see the “high-quality, low-price” grocery retailer chain popping up around me in suburban New Jersey. And I was intrigued….what is this ALDI – and is it as great as everyone says it is from a price/value standpoint? […]
