Fact: I love sushi. Fact: I eat a lot of sushi. Fact: Making sushi myself scares me to death.I will attempt almost anything in the kitchen. I like to step outside the box and try new things. It is how I learn. While I have made things like roasted chicken, skate wing and Mexican wedding [...]
‘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 [...]
My day was pretty sweet (obvious pun intended).Whole-Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies I had an exciting late day meeting that involved freshly baked whole-wheat chocolate chip cookies. These were rich and chocolaty. I usually find whole-wheat baked goods to be slightly dry but these were moist and delicious! I had one during the meeting and was [...]

I took a long lunch today and went to Japan for fresh sushi:Seaweed Salad, Left Column (top to bottom): Ikura (salmon roe), Katsuo (Bonita), Sugi Cobia Right Column: Tomago (sweet omelet), Hotate (Scallop) Maguro (Tuna). I’m only half kidding. I traveled about 10 minutes down the street for a taste of Japan. This sushi was [...]
Could it be nicer outside? It is currently a sunny 74 degrees and I am on top of the world! I was able to go for my favorite river-side run (~4 miles) a few hours after my pancake digested (so filling but delicious!). I went a bit slower today just so I could soak up [...]
What a day! I’m so thankful to have such a wonderful family and great friends. My birthday has been a time to reflect on all the important people in my life. I have received so many messages today from friends I haven’t spoken to in years (thank you facebook for birthday announcements haha!) and I [...]
