Lunch is an underrated meal. I have to admit, it tends to be my least exciting meal of the day. I usually grab a quick sandwich or some ancient frozen soup out of my freezer and pair it with easy “to-go” sides like fruit, crackers and yogurt. BORING! Today, my dad and I went out [...]
‘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 [...]

Hi my name is Nora, and I have a minor obsession with the TV show Glee. I wasn’t always this way. One boring day I saw a re-run. I was hooked. It’s becoming a problem. A part of me wants to have “Sing-off Wednesday” to honor the season premier. I can’t sing but how fun [...]
Monday madness began first thing. I had one of those “how is it already time to wake up?” moments followed by a pounding headache provided by the barking dog downstairs. For the first time in a long time I starred at my refrigerator completely dumbfounded for a solid five minutes before deciding what I was [...]
