I may lose my foodie card today, because I have to tell you that there is one food I have yet to master on a consistent basis – and that is mashed potatoes. Most of the time when I make mashed potatoes, they are just ok. They aren’t terrible, but they don’t knock your socks

Cranberry Orange Relish
It is finally here – it is finally upon us – one of my most favorite food holidays of the year! – THANKSGIVING. Thanksgiving wasn’t always one of my favorite food holidays of the year. There was a time once when I couldn’t have cared less about turkey, it was really just another day off
Macaroni and Cheese
So like. I just want to know when the heck I turned 35. When did this happen, and why do I not feel 35? I don’t believe that I’m 35. No, not me. I’m 26. At heart. It’s a funny thing to come to terms with your age. Before long I’ll be 40. I remember

Jazzed-Up Brown Spanish Rice
This is my favoritest Spanish rice recipe of all time. It has become a true staple in my house, especially for me when I make lunches for work for the week. It has evolved a lot over the past year, and I think I finally have a version that is both totally healthy and totally
Chicken Piccata and Roasted Potatoes
Earlier this week I gave you a romantic steak dinner menu to serve to your special someone on Valentine’s Day. But maybe you don’t like steak. Or red wine. Or broccoli (I don’t blame you, I eat it very begrudgingly). This would be my next pick to serve to someone on Valentine’s Day. Chicken piccata
Steak au Poivre and Roasted Potatoes
A long, long time ago, in a West Philly apartment far, far away, there lived a girl who did not know how to cook. And, wanting a marriage proposal so terribly, having been with her boyfriend for several years, she started to wonder if he saw her as non-marriage material due to her lack of
