After seeing this recipe prepared on an episode of Food Network’s “Farmhouse Rules,” I knew I wanted to make it for my upcoming book club potluck. It’s so easy to throw together and pretty much requires zero cooking (especially since I cook my bacon in the oven), you’ll be done in 20 minutes and only…

“Sweet & Sour” is my version of that dinner table game where every guest says what the best and worst parts of the day were. As we head into the weekend, I think it’s important to get the bad stuff off your chest and remember the positives as a silver lining and energizing factor. When…

Given that it’s a short week, work is a little busier than normal, but I am loving that it’s only 4 days long. This weekend should be fun with a Garth Brooks concert and an event at Brooklyn Brewery already in the books. We got an engagement present last week! That package was definitely nice…

My beau is all of a sudden really into swordfish. Not a typical craving but one I’m happy to indulge because 1) it’s healthy and 2) it makes for a very quick meal. I took my two gorgeous swordfish steaks and seasoned them with pink peppercorn, sea salt, and lemon zest. I put them season…

My beau was concerned we needed one more side dish on our 4th of July spread and was really feelin a pasta salad. I was not so convinced. Pasta and potato salads are usually mayo based…not so great for sitting out in the sun all day while people graze. “So just create a pasta salad without mayonnaise,”…
