Avocado Basil Greek Yogurt Parfaits {Giveaway}

With Mother’s Day quickly approaching, I wanted to share a savory yogurt parfait that is so simple that even your kids could whip it up. (Just think breakfast in bed for mom!) The parfait will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to face the day.

A drink sporting beautiful tart blackberries with hints of honey, lemon, and vanilla? Thoughts of this drink made me weak in the knees when today’s guest mixologist proposed it. Rachael White is a force to be reckoned with, and when I found out she had started a new blog, I thought maybe she would be […]

Barramundi—such a great name, and an even more delicious type of fish, with a mild buttery flavor and dense meaty texture. Plus, with it’s moderate oil content, it’s an easy fish to cook, whether you grill it to serve in pita sandwiches like I did recently (recipe at the end of the post!), or you […]

I used to think that mayonnaise was mayonnaise, something I occasionally put on a sandwich (but usually not—I was a mustard devotee), and something that my mom used to make tuna fish or egg salad sandwiches.

I no longer use an oven when I make pizza, I use a fry pan. This is not a technique I came up with, just one I fell in love with a few years ago. I recently posted some pictures on Instagram of one of our fry pan pizza nights, and got so many questions […]

I need to make a rule for myself that I do not set foot in a grocery store when I’m hungry. It always gets me in to trouble. Always. Except for a recent trip. Last week I made a quick stop to pick up a few things at the store after dropping the girls off […]

With the arrival of Spring and the approach of Easter Sunday, eggs are everywhere. As I was preparing to write this post, all of the eggs I was seeing in stores and decor got me to thinking about the versatility of the egg. If you think about it eggs are one of the most versatile […]

When my friend Tori, the genius behind The Shiksa in the Kitchen, asked if I would be willing to contribute to her Passover Potluck 2013, I knew I wanted to bring something Japanese to the table. This is easier said than done, however, due to the special rules for preparing food that is kosher for […]
