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

From the moment I clicked “attend” for my life long friend’s Mississippi Shrimp Boil, I knew that I was crossing into a new territory of the South.

Still carrying a paper sack to work for lunch? Um…that’s so 1998! With mason jars being all the rage right now {from serving your guest’s wine or beer in them to even making them a perfect votive candle holder for your table setting} I couldn’t think of a better way to hip up the way we bring

I just made my airline reservations for a bachelorette beach trip in April, and the thought of getting into a bikini has sent me straight to my “skinny recipe” file…totally forgot about this phenom dieting soup! It’s cheap, low calorie, low glycemic, full of protein and the best part is that it only takes 5

Let’s face it. There’s nothing easy about love…or brewing your own love potions at home! So instead of taking my “troubles down to Madame Rue,” I took my happy self down to a spot where I first fell in love…Park Bar in Union Square! With Valentine’s Day approaching, I couldn’t think of a better place

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! With Rajesh Bhardwaj {owner} Not knowing anything about Indian foods, spices or anything in between I went over to a restaurant everyone raves about up here called Junoon.

When I heard that Alex Giocondi, a fellow SU Whitman School of Management graduate, and Chef Joseph Miller were teaming to open up a new restaurant in NYC’s Chelsea ‘hood, I was so eager to see what they had created!

I remember those countless mornings waking up to the smell of my mom’s delicious baking.

I’m thankful for many things in my life, but there is one that sticks out the most to me this year: my friends. When you live in a large city away from your family, it is your friends you depend on, get advice from, and know that they always have your back. My friends up
