My culinary idol is the famous French chef Jacques Pepin. This has to be the easiest and most delicious French toast ever. It was one of his ideas and I thought how brilliant. The ice cream already has the egg, cream, and sugar!! This recipe is super fast and it’s basically 3 i...

As I was looking for a wine to blog about this week, I came across a grape I had never heard of: The Picpoul (also seen with the spelling Piquepoul). It is grown primarily in the Rhone Valley and Languedoc regions of France as well as Catalonia, Spain. It exists both in dark-skinned (Picpoul no...

For this little trip down memory lane, just a couple of photos of my girls with amazing face paint. For as long as I can remember, whenever we went somewhere this was offered, they loved to have it done. Whether we went to the zoo, and amusement park, or our beloved Disney World, we would always sea...

Monday...a day like any other, although for many it is the start of the work or school week and therefore a day which often has a negative connotation. It can also be a fresh start kind of day as a new week begins. It all depends on your mindset. This can be true of any day. It's a part of life to h...

Dinner and a movie...perhaps the most classic fun Friday night there is, and of course another thing which has been limited over the past year. We are lucky to have the luxury of watching many new and recent movies in the comfort of our own homes with all the streaming that is available, but let's n...

Throwback to three years ago...I did something I could have never imagined even a year before that. I competed in my first ballroom dance competition. It was April of 2018, and I had just started taking lessons with my teacher Roberto at the end of January, 2018. I definitely went way o...

The Working Mom, LLC is headed to the Sesha Skin Therapy headquarters in West Chester, PA this week to meet with their CEO and co-founder Phyllis Hsieh to try some of their latest products. These products were born from technology that was initially meant to deliver insulin and other large density d...

So here we are..."the Working Moms" just a couple of hours ago celebrating the end of a busy week. What better for a fun Friday idea, than drinks with a good friend after a long work day. I finished up in the OR and then stopped by Lisa's place which is just 10 minutes from wh...

As I approach a big milestone birthday next month, I decided to share a few photos from way back. Here is this working mom in pre-school, then high school and then at my medical school graduation. Fast forward a few years to a couple of photos of me with my little ones and finally a rec...

Sauvignon blanc is a green-skinned grape varietal that originates from the Bordeaux region of France. It is the momma-grape to the Cabernet Sauvignon. The papa-grape is the well known Cabernet Franc.  The Sauvignon blanc most likely gets its name from the French words 'sauvage' (wi...

This is such a great treat for a Sunday morning, or even a quick breakfast if you prepare a little the night before. We used biscuit dough for many things as a kid, from pizzas to sweet treats.... Here is a good one.....

Ingredients

*1/2 pot or deep fryer full vegetable oil

*1 can large buttermilk bisc...

I could not agree more with every word in the above image, so for this motivation Monday post, I would like to focus on this concept. It can be so easy to give up on something after a very short time if you don't see results quickly or face too many obstacles or challenges along the way. This can ap...

Just a quick throwback to a few favorite baby photos of my now adult daughters. So hard to believe that these photos are from 18-20 years ago! A cute toddler sisters photo rounds out the collection. Hard to even remember what it was like to hold these babies, but so thrilled to now be the mom of two...

In the foothills of Mount Vulture in Basilicata, southern Italy, some of the greatest wines are grown. The volcanic soil often imparts extra depth of flavors and minerals.  Last September I did a blog on this wine. (Aglianico, A Southern Italian Gem - The Working Mom). I wanted to ...
