I got this bad boy from Men’s Health. Yes, I know. I’m a woman. So?
My husband’s Aunt Susan has made this dip the past two Christmases. The cousins will congregate, hover, and it will be gone within ten minutes. Yesterday we had two buddies over to watch the Patriot’s dominate and I thought this … Continue reading
This is going to be a short post because high quality tuna steaks do not require much work. Yesterday, hubby and I bought a nice red tuna steak from Nick at Fish Tales (not cheap!). Our Korean buddy Sam down the … Continue reading
My lasagna never tasted as good as what you could get in a restaurant and often it was separatist (not politically: it didn’t meld together) and too wet. Normally when I cook I am all about creativity and playing with … Continue reading
These muffins are so good. It’s comforting yet the apples and walnuts reduce any sense of guilt. Plus I don’t use butter and I use skim milk. I’m going to try the same recipe with cranberries and white chocolate pieces. … Continue reading
Last year I went to a Superbowl Party in Manhattan (Ooo Brooklyn girl goes to the big city). Sadly, the Patriots lost, but on the bright side, I got to eat some delicious chili! My husband works with Nick, our … Continue reading

Nice title, huh? This is a quick dinner I whipped up tonight that is really healthy and flavorful. I was inspired by a meal I had at Park Slope’s Thistle Hill Tavern. Check out their entree Duck Leg Confit. It … Continue reading
Dear readers, I’m not sure what happened, but it seems this sweet recipe from February got lost in the crowd and never posted. I just came across it in my drafts folder. So, without further ado, here is a belated … Continue reading
I’m going to keep this short because it’s really very simple. Hubby and I made a ton of pulled pork the other day and we enjoyed a second pulled pork sandwich the following night. However, as much as I love … Continue reading
I told you I was going to use my Crock-Pot again this weekend and I delivered. No Memorial Day would be complete without great food. The hub and I went to a fun barbecue on Sunday at our friends Tom … Continue reading
Dear Crock-Pot, Oh wow. I had no idea. I heard through the grapevine that you were good, but seriously? I would have come to you a long time ago if I had only known. I cringe to think how much … Continue reading
