Over President's Day weekend, I took a solo trip back to the motherland - California. The main purpose of this trip was to visit my siblings and my adorable nephews (whom I lovingly call my birth control). But prior to meeting up with my family, I spent less than 24 hours with my friends from [...]
The Goat's Beard - $$ 4201 Main St Philadelphia, PA 19127 If you ask me or my husband what our favorite meal is, it's brunch. I often feel like kindred spirits with Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation. When I'm hungry, I just want to say "just give me all the bacon and eggs you have". [...]
Holy moly, this is the truffle to end all truffles. You guys. These truffles are rich, chocolatey, and has the perfect amount of booziness. What's not to like? This recipe combines really simple ingredients, requires very little hands-on time, and looks so, so good. They make great holiday gifts or bring them to your next [...]
Cake - $$ 8501 Germantown Ave Philadelphia, PA 19118 Since moving to Philadelphia a year ago, a lot of friends traveling through the city have asked me for recommendations. My response is usually "uhhhhhh idk". It's not that I don't want to be helpful, but I'm a creature of habit and I tend to frequent the [...]
HELLLLLOOOOO triumphant return! Typing this is so surreal. I guess I should rewind and take you back to the beginning. Blogging, especially blogging about food, is not new to me. I started blogging in 2014 as a stress relief when I was in grad school. It was my way of channeling my creative energy in [...]
This is my all-time favorite potluck dish. You can do the majority of the prep ahead of time if you wish. It is such a crowd pleaser. I've yet to bring this to an event and come home with leftovers. This recipe will yield two 13x9 dishes. Make this for your next potluck, and I guarantee [...]
This year, I gave up flour for Lent. That means goodbye cookies, cakes, bread, and pasta. Hello rice and potatoes! I'm surprised by how many delicious dishes I am able to eat without breaking Lent. One of my favorites - Vietnamese spring rolls. I always order these when I go out to a Vietnamese restaurant. [...]
I don't really like handling meat, so on the rare occasion that I do make a meat dish, I try to make it as easy as possible. When I was perusing on Pinterest, I saw a slew of meatball recipes for beef or pork. But I typically only cook poultry at home, so I thought [...]
Breadcrumbs is one of those pantry items that seems cheap, but really isn't. A can of breadcrumbs typically costs from $1-3, which doesn't seem that bad. But what if I can tell you that you can make the same amount for only pennies? Man, Progresso is really rolling in the dough (haha). The breadcrumbs will [...]
I was watching Friends the other day, and in the episode, Monica had just broken up with Richard. With her apartment taken over by the hoard of fresh berries and fruit, she said, "I'm sick and tired of being depressed about Richard. I needed a plan. A plan to get over my man! And what's the [...]
