The past few days I have been traveling, and came home to an (almost) empty fridge. There were a few random items… basically enough to make what I thought would be a mediocre salad with some roasted potatoes on the side. While the potatoes were roasting I came up with this incredible idea to add […]

Like probably many of you, I don’t eat a ton of pasta so when I do I make sure that it is really, really fabulous. One of my all-time favorite pasta dishes comes from Ina Garten’s cookbook, The Barefoot Contessa’s Foolprooof. It’s a mainstay on the menu at one of Ina’s favorite restaurants for over 20 […]

The weather in Florida has been heating up, which has me craving all sorts of tropical flavors. I hear it’s still snowing in […]

Strolling through the aisles of the grocery store yesterday, I found myself on the aisle that is home to all of the pre-packaged sweet snacks. Growing up, I remember my friends always ate those sweet confections wrapped in plastic and poor me, always had homemade baked goods. I laugh at it now, but when I was younger […]

I’ve been having a craving lately for the comfort food classic, tomato soup and grilled cheese. Flipping through one of my favorite cookbooks Barefoot Contessa Foolproof, by Ina Garten, I found a recipe for Roasted Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons. Tomato soup brings such comfort, especially when some grilled cheese “croutons” are thrown in there. It’s the […]

With all of the amazing produce Spring brings, one of my favorite ways to enjoy it all is in a fresh salad. This time of year, everything from snap peas to radishes to Florida strawberries couldn’t be more delicious and I can’t seem to get enough of them. Need a simple salad to serve for […]
