Food & Drink

My trip to South West Florida proved fruitful again with a delicious refreshing Key Lime Pie. The taste was absolutely irresistible and I definitely will be making this for my family and friends real soon. I’m not big on sweet deserts, but this pie had the perfect combination of tart and sweet.

The beauty about preparing food from other countries is that we can somewhat immerse ourselves into this particular part of the world without buying a plane ticket. Today I will share with you a few recipes I tried and enjoyed preparing. Looking back, I appreciate exploring the different varieties of seasonings and ingredients used to compose a dish; while of course, photographing them.

110 Japan in Huntington Station is a food lovers dream. Whether you prefer sushi, hibachi, a solid happy hour or quick takeout – this spot should be on your go-to list. 110 Japan succeeds at fusing classic Japanese ingredients within adventurous appetizers and savory entrées.

For a Dash of the Irish in a flash, try this “new take” on your traditional corn beef and cabbage. Instead of 4 hours to prepare, how about 45 minutes? The sheet pan meal actually quadruples your cooking surface area, allowing you to roast/cook meals in less time with a surprisingly crispy edge.

Is it really St. Patrick’s Day if you don’t have Irish Soda Bread? No, it’s definitely not. At work, we have an Irish Soda Bread contest, which is always a fun time. My friend Vince’s wife, Liz, hands down makes the BEST Irish Soda Bread.

Limón is Spanish for yellow, juicy, citrus lemon! Its snappy flavor makes it the perfect summertime ingredient for desserts. There is nothing as fresh, clean and pure as a lemon cake made from scratch!

The Grilled Cheese Sandwich. So remarkable in it’s ooey, gooey glory that it deserves more than a spot on the children’s menu. Originally popular in the 1920s and 1930s, the grilled cheese was more of an inexpensive, easy-to-prepare meal option rather than savory, comfort food.

I’m a romantic. I enjoy a good romantic comedy, and you’ll often find me cooking dinner to the dreamy melody of La Vie En Rose, or just about any French jazz-inspired playlist. I love Valentine’s Day. Even when I was single, there was always something wistful about this holiday – though seldomly admitted due to the fear of seeming cliché.

Valentine's Day is practically here! Another reason to celebrate, eat and share your love. As I consider Valentine's Day, I decided what recipe to share with you in my next culinary article. I dream that the days and evenings are long, light and warm.

Being the only girl in a houseful of boys, I try to fit anything pink into my life as much as I can. When Valentine’s Day rolls around, it’s definitely my excuse to decorate the house and bake all things pink! These Valentine’s Choco-Coco Hug Cookies are no exception.

There is nothing I enjoy more than hosting a party at my house. I love preparing cheese and charcuterie boards, cooking a surplus of main dishes and sides, and decorating the space with fun Pinterest finds. One of my favorite days to host is Superbowl. It’s casual, lively, and encourages a table filled with appetizers and dips.
