We are deep into pumpkin season people and just like last year all of my recipes are featuring this glorious delight! The other night I was happily partaking in one of my favorite fall time activities while my friend exclaims “I can’t wait to eat these!” As I turn to express irrational possessiveness over my prized Jack-O-Lantern […]
Cooking is a passion for me. I am more than happy to spend hours and hours in the kitchen that will result in just one meal. As much as I love to cook and am perfectly content to be buzzing around the kitchen, I live a very busy life that sometimes doesn’t afford me the […]
A few years ago I learned how to make some delicious Middle Eastern dishes. One of my favorite dishes is tabbouleh. Tabbouleh is a traditional Arabic salad that most often consists of tiny chopped pieces of parsley, mint, onion, garlic, tomato, TONS of lemon juice, and bulgur. Bulgur is a tiny dried whole grain that […]
Nothing is easier nor more delicious than fresh hummus. It can be served with or on anything and always makes things so much better, i.e. veggies. Hummus only consists of 5 ingredients, most of these ingredients you might already have in your pantry. The one ingredient you might not already have in your pantry is […]
If I was forced to only eat one Thanksgiving dish and unable to eat anything else for the rest of the meal my choose is simple, mashed potatoes. Maybe it’s the German in me, but whatever it is I love potatoes in any form they are served. Mashed potatoes can be made simply with just […]
I’ve been told many times that people think I am older than I am, which immediately sends me to a mirror desperately checking for signs like wrinkles, gray hair, etc….

Most of the time I try to be mindful of what I eat. I try not to indulge in too rich or sweet of foods, but occasionally I can’t help it. I, like Superman, have my very own kind of kryptonite that I am absolutely no match for. Like a siren, it lures me in […]
One of the best sweet potato dishes I’ve ever had was at Ruth Chris’ Steakhouse. Their sweet potato casserole is to die for! I obviously can’t get their recipe but over the last couple years I’ve tweaked and tested a few different recipes and have come up with something pretty delicious. I think the secret […]
1 week until Thanksgiving and what’s a Thanksgiving without cornbread?! Instead of risking a dry uninspired dish or drenching your bread in honey hoping to mask the dryness try making my Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread Muffins. The sharp cheddar cheese gives these muffins a bite while the jalapenos create a pleasant boost. Want the secret to […]
There’s a great debate on our hands people, you’re either one way or another. You either drench your Thanksgiving plate in gravy or cranberry sauce. Take a stand. 🙂 Myself, I choose to be on the cranberry sauce side which is actually surprising to me because I often choose salty over sweet. I think the reason […]
