Farm Fresh and Fabulous!

I feel blessed to live on Long Island, especially during the summertime, when it flaunts its lush green landscape, and beautiful waterways. Long Island, especially the north and south forks, are home to many family owned farmsteads. This time of year, take full advantage and support our local farms and farmer’s markets.

Steakhouses for Dad

As a self-proclaimed carnivore, there is nothing I love more than a good steak. Crispy seared on the outside, medium rare on the inside – simple, tasty, hearty.
