Tips to Make Your Holiday Food Photos Shine

On the heels of seeing a hilarious post about how Martha Stewart recently uploaded some terrible food porn to her social media channels, I received this helpful info from the folks at Swanson (yes, the Chicken Broth people) who want to make sure our holiday eats are ready for their close-up. With Thanksgiving just 1 […]

How to Make Gnocchi Like a Pro with Craftsy.com

Raise your hand if you grew up knowing that Wednesday was “Prince Spaghetti Day?” But I bet you did not know that Thursday is typically Gnocchi Day in Rome. Neither did I.  Until a few days ago. That’s just one of many fascinating facts that I learned recently while partaking in Chef Gerri Sarnataro’s “How […]

The Perfect Margarita was found in the 100th Anniversary Perfect Ball® Mason Jar {Giveaway Closed}

They had me at $5 margarita.  Oh, but did I walk away with so much more. It was our first night in Del Mar, California just a few weeks back, and the hubs knew of a quaint spot for dinner called Americana that prided itself on fresh, local ingredients and sweeping sunset views over the […]

Swap Your Oven for the Grill: Chicken with Peas & Tomatoes and Grilled Vegetables Two Ways

You know that expression, “If you can’t take the heat, then get out of the kitchen?” Yeah.  Well, that’s my approach to cooking dinner during the summer months. I grill just about everything that I can, but not in a way that you’d expect. I actually utilize my grill as an outdoor oven, and find […]

Just in Time for Bastille Day…

It’s Bastille Day — and what better way to commemorate than to celebrate with a decadent French dinner? OK, so full disclosure — these are pics from our anniversary dinner back in late May — but thought it was perfectly fitting for the occasion! I LOVE French food — from bistro fare like steak frites […]
