Who doesn’t love pizza? I would venture to say that I don’t fully trust a person who doesn’t enjoy this heavenly, gooey, tomatoey, crispy concoction. As you know, I currently live here in our nation’s capital, but I grew up in Suffolk County in lovely…
So, not sure if I have ever disclosed this fact, but I am a dumpling freak. Actually, I am pretty sure I did at one point in my review of local Taiwanese-Korean fusion noodle and dumpling purveyors Toki Underground several years back. Oh, and don’t forget to check…
So, in an effort to thwart the effects on my body from my last indulgent recipe for Loaded Baked Potato Soup, I am opting to share a recipe that is on the lighter and healthier side to start this week off. This also comes on…
Well, you could say that I didn’t quite start the New Year off in the healthiest of ways, but nevertheless, I chose to make myself a pot of good old-fashioned hearty potato soup to kick things off in 2013. I had been craving this delicious…
It somewhat saddens me to say that for my entire adult life, I hadn’t tried a brussels sprout until about a year or two ago. My reasoning, as far as I can conclude, is that I was perhaps scarred by tales of the horrors of…

Yep, sure has! Sounds sort of strange, I know, but I had to share this with all of my friends in the NYC area. If you can’t make it to the lodge proper this winter, all the way at the tippy-top of those mountains, then…
This year, I relived the real magic of a traditional Thanksgiving with some dear friends of mine. I traveled all of the way out to sunny California to cook a full Turkey Day meal for about eight people. Crazy? Maybe. At least that is what…
I am a long time journalist and creative writer who, over the years, has developed an affinity and passion for all things culinary, from preparation techniques to collecting family recipes, and forever building my dream kitchen in my mind. I once read a quote that said "The work you do while you procrastinate is probably the work you should be doing for the rest of your life." It is my goal to someday turn my passion into a career, one baby-blogging step at a time. Dreams don't hunt you down, you have to chase after them, and this blog is my first step in the right direction.
