My family hangs out in Boston’s South Shore every summer for a few weeks, and this year we thought that
*driving*
from San Diego to Boston might be fun. Here was our route:
We stuffed our car with the essentials (clothes, beach gear, cooking supplies & a dual-screen dvd player), and headed to Boston. Perhaps you saw us [...]
Since the next phase of Real Women of Philadelphia is a recipe contest, I thought I’d show you how easy it is to create your own recipe using Philly cream cheese. This week’s theme will be ”desserts.” I created: Fudgy Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Icebox Cake (recipe can be found below…)
Take a peek at my video for [...]
The Real Women of Philadelphia Cream Cheese Cook-Off with Paula Deen was a lot of fun. I had the time of my life judging this competition in Savannah! The women were very talented and they some terrific ideas for how to incorporate cream cheese into recipes.

Oprah is looking for 10 finalists who will compete for the chance to host their own show on her network. I’d like one of those finalists to be me!
My show idea centers around the theme of entertaining… the idea that it doesn’t have to be difficult, stressful, intimidating or time intensive. I’d like to help viewers create deliciously [...]
On my trip to Italy with Sam’s Club cheese buyers, we visited four cheese producing factories. One of the factories we toured was IGOR- makers of Gorgonzola. For 3 generations, the Leonardi family have run the Gorgonzola business. This was by far the largest, most modern factory of those we visited. You’ll see in my [...]
I had the unique opportunity last week of accompanying cheese buyers for Sam’s Club on a trip to Italy.
The goal of the trip was to search for 24 of the best cheeses in the world for the purpose of bringing them into Sam’s Club stores to share with members.
I didn’t really know what to expect [...]

I’m so thrilled with how this all turned out that I can hardly stand it. Just three weeks ago, my blogging friend Julie [...]
The moment this conference was announced, I started saving my pennies. I was lucky enough to attend Food Blogger Camp last week featuring some experts in the field of food writing. And the best part?… it was held in Mexico at Club Med Ixtapa. My family tagged along, and we called it a quasi- vacation. I [...]
Note to my readers: This healthy challenge is not going to be the new focus of my site. It’s a challenge that I will write about only on Saturdays. Recipe postings will occur, as usual, during the week.
As of Saturday AM, Jan. 30, 2009… we have 341 passionate people who are (publicly) on board for getting healthy in 2010. [...]
Dear Readers,
I have news! I’ve been busy creating a second food blog. I know that seems a bit crazy… like there isn’t enough to do around here, but I came up with an idea for a new blog and I was so excited to implement it. I’ve always wondered if cover recipes are really all they’re cracked up to be. [...]
Please excuse the dust around here… I’m still cleaning things up and learning how to manipulate things in wordpress. You might see things here and there that aren’t quite ready, but I’m trying hard to get everything in place as quickly as possible! Printing recipes is simple- just use your browser’s ‘PRINT’ function and the [...]
Most bloggers celebrate their blogaversarys with a grand cake of some sort and a giveaway. If you’ve been following my blog lately, I’ve baked enough desserts to last me a year, and frankly… the giveaways tend to get tiresome. I’m celebrating with words and reflection.
Jan. 1 will mark the beginning of the second year of [...]
I made it to 100 posts. I figure that’s some sort of milestone that should be celebrated in one way or another, right?
Cake is always a good choice for celebrating. I actually brought this cake to my In-Law’s house since they were hosting a little family barbecue. And yes, it’s really called, “Chocolate Freak Out.”
