Birthday Launch…LA Style!

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 [...]

Let’s Get Real…Panini Style!

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 [...]

Eat Pizza. Stay Thin!

Who doesn’t love pizza? It’s perfect to serve your guests, enjoy over a large group dinner out or to make with your cutie at home on a Sunday night. But there’s one kid on the block that has taken that enjoyment to the next level…without leaving you trying to fit into your clothes! It’s called [...]

Potions for Love. Sans Cop.

Let’s face it. There’s nothing easy about love…or brewing your own love potions at home!

With Valentine’s Day approaching, I couldn’t think of a better place [...]

J’adore. Explore. SLC.

Being the one who loves to explore everything that surrounds me, I made it a point {even if I was delirious from sitting in a no-windowed room all day!} to get out of the hotel at night and see what Salt Lake City had to offer. Since it was my first time here, I really [...]

Feelin’ the Soul

A Southern girl can’t deny her Southern roots. Especially when it comes to Southern soul food! The good news is that I’ve finally found my nitch up here in the big apple to keep the Southern flame alive inside. Two words say it all: City Grit. Courtesy of City Grit Located in an old Nolita [...]

Spiced Just Right!

Switching up my cuisines like switching up my workouts {keeps your body guessing!}, I recently decided to put the wheels down into the land of India. Namaskar!

Elbowing through tourists at Eataly to shop, eat or grab a glass of vino? Say no more to that hustle bustle! There’s a new place on the UES that I recently stumbled upon…and it’s way cute! Nonna’s Table is quaintly tucked on 92nd between 3rd and Lex, the owner {Ron Suhanosky} makes sure that all [...]

Second Reso: Culinary Changes

I hate to admit it, but I’m detail oriented, a perfectionist at times, observing the little deets that one may typically not notice…especially during a dining experience. Maybe it’s from attending etiquette school at a young age, but I notice details. Is the napkin the restaurant has chosen fine linen and beautifully folded?  Does everyone [...]
