I can’t believe it’s Friday already again. Even scarier is the fact that Christmas is now only three short weeks away! This fall has gone by in a flash… It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is already over and the Christmas season is now in full swing!
So, if you’re still scrambling to catch up and [...]

Friday Favorites – Episode 35
Cheesy Baked Pasta with Collards and Bacon
This is another dish that I wasn’t too sure about as I formed the recipe in my head…
I’m really not much of a greens person in general. Lettuce, spinach, arugula, kale, chard, collards… You name it, I will probably turn my nose up at it. I do eat them all, but given the choice between [...]
Bacon, Leek, and Arugula Frittata
After only a few years of marriage, I had completely destroyed the set of pots and pans that I received as a wedding gift. The nonstick finish was pretty much nonexistent in that short time. So, I switched over to All-Clad stainless pots and pans just over a year ago. I don’t want to get into [...]

Barbeque Chicken Pizza
One of my favorite things to do when I travel is to go for long walks and take pictures. While I was in Boston, I spent most of my afternoons walking around the city exploring. While walking around Beacon Hill, I stopped in at Deluca’s Market for an afternoon snack. In addition to fresh meats, cheeses, and [...]
