Buttermilk pancakes with scrambled cheese eggs and a side of sausage? Yep, that’s my idea of a traditional kind of brunch! But when I heard that my new favorite Spanish haunt, Tertulia, had reinvented the way New York does brunch a la “tapas style”, I decided to hola on over! And this ain’t no yolk,

It’s official! Last week, Madison Ave got even sweeter. Literally! Neuhaus, known as a luxury Belgian “Créateur Chocolatier” worldwide, opened its new NYC flagship doors, and all sorts of bonbons to biscuits were sold into the health conscious hands of NYC! Hola! Founded by Jean Neuhaus in 1857, Neuhaus chocolates are still created in Vlezenbeek, Belgium

After salivating, craving and going gaga over everything Boston-based Dan Whalen creates on his blog, The Food In My Beard, I decided to contact him and ask when he would be visiting NYC so we could officially cook together! Spontaneous as can be, I thought…Why not? Our friendship grew after his first visit a few months

Out of all the places we dined and the classes we cycled, I have to admit my favorite part of my LA trip was helping to prep for and attending Troy’s swanky Easter Birthday Brunch! Troy had envisioned with precision the “look” he wanted for his big day, and it was so much fun to see

The sad day finally came…it was time for me to fly back on Easter Sunday to the hustle and bustle of NYC! And although I was tempted to intentionally miss my flight, I knew that me not flyin’ would not “fly” with my parentals! But, there was one place that I couldn’t pass up before

Did you really think we ended the night with fro-yo with Troy’s birthday brunch celebration the next morning? Um…hello! What are friends for? You can’t leave them hanging when there is much to be done before the big day! After we munched on our “yo”, we headed back to their sleek casa to adorn eggs

I woke up the next morning in my totally girlie hotel suite {“hola” got bumped up when I checked in with all smiles!} bright-eyed and fancy free looking over the beautiful Hollywood hills! The Mondrian was the most convenient hotel for me to stay in to be close to my boys, and thanks to Jetsetter

There are some people you meet in life and you just click. A conversation grows and grows and you just realize…you are meant to be friends! This happened to me over Christmas when I was at Blackberry Farm with my family. I met the most fantastic people there, especially a hip couple I instantly clicked

Cooking for yourself? That’s totally boring…with a capital B! So when my friends brought up the idea of having a cooking night on Sunday nights I was all.over.it. One of the reasons I committed to these delicious gatherings was because a good friend, Julian Kurland, would be taking charge as head chef for the group.

Trying to get all of your bunnies in a row early for Easter this year? I sure am! With leaving for Los Angeles on Thursday, I decided to get ahead and hop on over to a Paper Source store outside the city to see if they had any fun trinkets I could make {rather than

Call me crazy…but I’ve always thought that the correct way to make a panini was to get some bread, throw on a weird combination of cheeses, veggies and possibly a meat into the mix, put it into a presser and smash it all together. And voila! There’s your panini. Oh boy, was I mistaken! While
