Back to Flex Mussels
Posted on March 13, 2011
Living in NYC, we don’t go to the same restaurant twice unless it is really good. Last time we went to Flex Mussels, we had a wonderful experience, and I have not been able to get the deep fried whoopie pie out of my head since! So when our friends suggested Flex Mussels for dinner…
Brownies for a Guest
Posted on March 10, 2011
One of my best friends is coming to town. Kristen and I have been friends since we were in 2nd grade. No, that is a lie. We have known each other since then but actually weren’t really friends until 6th grade. I don’t really remember why it took so long, but we have been best…
Pear and Cheese Pockets
Posted on March 7, 2011
I have a few weaknesses in life: 1) Post-holiday candy sales at CVS 2) Ice cream on sale at the market* 3) Bulk anything at Costco *Who can blame me when it costs $7.99 / half gallon in NYC! It must be in my blood to love Costco. My Dad is a walking advertisement for…
Ice Cream Inspiration
Posted on March 3, 2011
Did you know that Cold Stone sells ice cream cupcakes? They do. Did you know that ice cream is my ultimate portion control weakness? It is. If you put this in front of me and left me alone, it would be gone when you came back. Individual ice cream cupcakes, however, this is portion control…
Must Make This Now
Posted on February 28, 2011
There are a few occasions when I see a recipe on a blog and I know that I need to make it immediately. Of course, I bookmark several new recipes each week, but I never have time to try all of them. Unsurprisingly, it was a chocolate and peanut butter recipe that made the “must-make-this-now”…
Cinnamon Swirl
Posted on February 25, 2011
I love cinnamon. I use it in my oatmeal, yogurt, cottage cheese and even to season my sweet potatoes. Cinnamon supposedly increases your metabolism, but at the rate I consume it, that means I should be burning fat like nobody’s business. Hmm, not so much. Regardless, it tastes delicious and is especially delightful in the…

Twix Gone Wrong
Posted on February 19, 2011
For Valentine’s Day, I thought it would be fun for Matt and me to make a homemade version of one of his favorite candies, Twix Bars. I’d seen a ton of great-looking recipes around the blog world and thought it would be a good idea to take ideas from them but make my own version. …
Easiest Cookie Ever, and Delicious Too!
Posted on February 16, 2011
When I saw Lauren’s suggestions for Valentine’s Day treats included this cookie, I knew I had to try it! Lauren has a wonderful blog that makes incredibly delicious and healthy versions of food that everyone loves. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any chocolate peanut butter on hand, but I did have some of this chocolate almond…
