Recipies, reviews and random rants from a mom of two!
I keep telling myself that someday, I'll have a weekend where I'm not rushing around. When I'm not trying to cram 72 hours worth of work and activities into 48 hours and that weekend will be sunny and warm instead of cloudy and cold. This weekend is especially hectic since I'm leaving for Miami on Tuesday and that means I am multi-tasking and turning errand running into … [Read more...]
When someone asks you if you'd like to attend a private dining event at Publican Quality Meats with Chef Paul Kahan, the only questions you ask are what day and time. What he plans to serve, who will be attending or do I have a babysitter are questions that don't go through your head.

For many of us, those nights are few and far … [Read more...]
I tend to think I'm adventurous when it comes to trying new foods but there are some things I just won't do. You'll never see me eat a fish that still has it's head attached. I don't care who makes it. I'll also never pull the head off a crawfish and suck the meat out. The thought of doing that makes me want to become a vegetarian. I also thought I would never … [Read more...]
I am a huge fan of Guy Fieri's, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (Triple D for fans of the show). There is something about going to a little known (or well known) local restaurant that serves food the way you wish you could make it yourself. There is always a lot of love and pride behind these restaurants which shines through in the food. Since I'm always looking for new … [Read more...]
