Recipies, reviews and random rants from a mom of two!
There are certain foods that remind of specific people who are a part of my life. Whenever I make this mexi corn dip, I think of the guys I lived with in the "PA" house. There were four of us who technically lived there (meaning we were on the lease) but since they were all in physician assistant school and doing their clinical rotations, it was rare for more than two … [Read more...]
We're getting closer. In just a few short days, millions of people across the country will be glued to their television sets. Some will be watching for the football, others for the commercials. For me, since none of my teams are playing in the game, Super Bowl Sunday will be about the food. If you're a last minute planner like me, it's time to get your grocery … [Read more...]
At the end of the year it's always fun to look back and see what posts have been successful on my blog. Surprisingly enough, the posts that have had the most traffic are in categories that I've severely neglected the past few months. One of those categories is my recipes. So in 2013, I'm working on a fun, new project that I hope you'll enjoy as much as I do. But … [Read more...]

I have a thing for finger foods. I like them. A LOT. And as long as everyone's hands are clean, I'm willing to share. Since I've been riding the train to work and seeing all the coughing, sneezing and touching of rails, posts and everything else, I'm even more of a fanatic about hand washing. But enough about my fear of other people's germs, you're heard to read … [Read more...]
In anticipation of Disney/Pixar's Brave opening in theaters on June 22, I decided to try my hand at one of the foods featured in the movie, Scottish Eggs. The first time I had ever heard of Scottish Eggs was a few months ago when my husband's co-worker brought them to work. They were all the rage and gobbled up in minutes. When Disney was gracious enough to share … [Read more...]
It's Asian weekend at my household. After browsing Food Gawker and Pinterest, I settled on three different Asian recipes. Shopping for ingredients was a bit of a challenge. Used to having an Asian market, this time I had to rely on my local chain grocery store which can be hit or miss. Luckily for me, between two different stores, I was able to find what I … [Read more...]
My husband and I have had a love/hate relationship with the Super Bowl. Love it because it's the best two teams pit against each other in a fit of male testosterone and hate it because seldom are we in the same city, at the same time. This year we actually get to watch the game together. That means getting my house ready for game day. During the game, no one wants … [Read more...]
