It's still winter in the northeast USA. We are getting more snow than we have had in a few years. Snow is either a love or a hate thing. My friends that fly south or west for the winter hate the snow, but I on the other hand love it. I could honestly live in Ma...

There is no denying I'm savory over sweet, so it's probably not a surprise that I would prefer my breakfast to look like something from a Spanish table. They are also casual in their morning rise..... so maybe my ancestors are really from Spain? or Portugal? I like salt, wine, and sleep..... I'm lik...

To my "Working Mom" friends and family: somedays it's all you can do to just get out of bed in the morning. You wake up and think: there's a mountain of laundry, the lunches need packing, the dog needs walking, I forgot to set the coffee pot timer last night and I...

In searching for a recipe for tonight, my daughter Maggie was quick to throw out ideas. This is super fast and surprisingly so easy and delicious! My family is kind of obsessed with pizza. We are the east coast NYC/Philly pizza lovers over the big pie Chicago-style. This mug pizza will satisfy the c...

One of my favorite desserts of all-time is crème brûlée. That first break through the flame-caramelized layer of sugar is so incredibly satisfying, as is that sweet vanilla bean taste. Years ago while gazing the spice section of a local market, a small packet of cooking lavender caught my ...

As I sit here on a chilly fall night, just outside of Philadelphia, PA, with a Stouffer's microwave mac-n-cheese (because sometimes after a long day, that's all us "working moms" can muster up) paired with one of the best chenin blanc wines from Stellenbosch, South Africa (because it doesn...

This is another childhood favorite of mine. Chicken, prosciutto, mushrooms, and fontina cheese are central to this dish. The chicken is so tender and the mushroom sauce makes it a delicious topping for both the chicken and your plated side. I prefer capellini (angel-hair pasta), but rice or steamed ...

Here is a quick protein-punched, all-natural smoothie, for those mornings when you don't have time to sit and have a meal.... or the kids are whining they don't want to eat.... Whip this up and serve!

PSA: The only recipe in this category you will fine from Adrienne!!

I will start by saying I don't cook...well I rarely cook. I think I could enjoy cooking, but I definitely have not had much time to experiment with it. I can follow a recipe like anyone else, but I am not the type to com...

Our 4-legged friends are family too, and just as it’s nice to have short cuts and life hacks for our human families, it’s also nice to have some short cuts to help with our fur babies too. Zoe is our 10-year-old Pomeranian. Her favorite things are cookies and chicken jerky. With so many preserv...

I don't think a quality meal ever goes unappreciated, especially if it's quick too. I've always loved to cook, and being raised Italian has all the extra perks. Amazing cuisine! I always use fresh ingredients, except in cases of tradition, like the Hunts brand tomato sauce which our Gran from South ...
