I decided to take the night off from yoga and soothe my soul in the kitchen. Over the years I have found that my passion for really good food matches my passion for cooking. If I had the opportunity to eat at the best restaurants every single night it would be bitter sweet. Obviously, I [...]
New Year’s celebrations left me feeling exhausted yesterday. I’m one of those people that does not function well without sleep. After 8+ hours of rest last night, I felt renewed.

‘Tis the season to…VISIT THE FINGER LAKES! I literally ate food and drank wine all day long. A few months ago I was fortunate enough to win a pair of tickets to the Cayuga Wine Trail’s Holiday Shopping Spree (Thank you again to Finger Lakes Tourism–especially Sarah who helped find my lost ticket ), and [...]
These are a few of my favorite things:Multigrain Bread, Romaine, Turkey, Bartlett Pear, Apple-Orange Cranberry Sauce, Intense Brie. (side of carrots and an apple) Stinky Cheese and Fresh Grainy Bread. This would be picture-perfect if there was a nice glass of wine and a handful of nuts involved.

Luckily, a crazy Monday can always be remedied with satisfying food and a glass of wine. Or maybe it was two glasses of wine .Chicken [...]
The air in my apartment is perfumed with butter and shallot. Or, as I like to call it, “the scent of love”. And that’s the way uh-huh, uh-huh I like it. Roasted Green Beans and Shallots topped with Lemony Hazelnuts Last night, I went to a “pre-Thanksgiving” dinner. One of my friends decided to do the whole [...]
I’m so glad that the Holiday season is upon us. I love cookies. Call me the cookie monster, and feed me a few. I’ll be as happy as a clam.Whole Grain Oatmeal and Whole Grain Peanut Butter Cookie. I decided to splurge and pick up a couple of cookies at my bakery. I sampled their Whole Grain [...]

I scrummaged the kitchen and wound up with bowl of Greek yogurt, almond butter, strawberry jelly, banana and cinnamon.Followed by an extra foamy daddy special cappuccino.Where there are cappuccinos, [...]
