While coming off of the perfect long weekend was tough, I had these some New Orleans pralines to get me through. I’m not sure why I thought I loved pralines as they are ludicrously sweet, but to appease my 17 year old self, I bought a few at the airport. With a fistful of candies…

Peanutbutter Granola Energy Bars
I’ve been on a quest for decent tasting recipes that still fulfill my constant need to bake. I thought I’d found one – Peanutbutter Granola Energy Bars – by David Lebovitz. That was, until I made them and saw just how much brown sugar went into them. Whoops. Should have read the recipe through first…
French Me
Remember that time I had a blog… I just did too! Hi, guys! It’s been a crazy month! Moving in with the chap and the beast, traveling to the MIA, dealing with office renovations, and of course Bastille Day!

We were too full from a weird smattering of brunch foods that ranged from white chocolate almond pancakes to a hamburger that we had to skip the this favorite. Since we…

First up, Monsieur David… Finally, I was able to test drive a recipe from my beautiful, autographed cookbook that I kept on the other side of the kitchen from my cookin lab. Anyone that knows me has experienced how neat…
Take It Off!
17 Days of no carbs, no sugar, no alcohol. Boring, but after the beau’s parents had massive success on this fad diet, we thought we’d give it a whirl to prep for our Caribbean getaway in a few weeks. The first week I was down 6.5 pounds! The beau was down 10! Elation ensued as…
Sleepy Saturday
I stole today away from everything – social engagements, the beau, the family, and really enoyed some solitude the way that I used to in Miami. After sleeping in, cleaning out all of my closets and drawers, I opted to Iron Chef myself and see what I could create. Dinner was a phyllo dough pizza,…
