Previous San Diego Posts: What to Do in San Diego, Part 1 What to Do in San Diego, Part 2 Well, I pretty much dropped the ball on my San Diego recaps. I would have let it slide, but we ate so well while we were there and I didn’t want to keep all of…
What to Do in San Diego, Part 2
Posted on April 9, 2013
While my favorite part of travelling is exploring a new city through its food, I love getting some physical activity in the form of a long hike with gorgeous views almost just as much. Well, after eating pancakes like this, it is kind of necessary. I’m actually fairly new to hiking, but I really do…

Ad Hoc in Yountville, CA
Posted on August 13, 2012
ad hoc had to be one of my favorite restaurants in Napa. You may be familiar with Thomas Keller, who is well known for the infamous Per Se and French Laundry. However, ad hoc is so different from those two restaurants, perhaps only overlapping in its high quality and delicious food. While those restaurants are…
Bi-Rite Creamery in San Francisco
Posted on August 6, 2012
Most of you know by now that ice cream is my favorite food group. Well, tied with peanut butter, of course. I literally crave it all year round and on most birthdays choose ice cream cake or ice cream pie over any other dessert. Okay, in addition to other desserts. The thing is, being a…
A Week in Wine Country
Posted on July 23, 2012
Last week in Napa was amazing! I didn’t realize how much I needed a vacation until I got back and found myself refreshed and energized in a way I haven’t been in a few months. Sometimes you just need that. Here are some highlights from our eating, drinking and relaxing. I’ll be sharing some more…
Franklin Fountain in Philadelphia
Posted on May 2, 2012
You remember that trip we took to Philadelphia a few weeks ago where we ate our way through the weekend? Well, given the fact that I could live on ice cream, I was most excited for our trip to Franklin Fountain. An old school ice cream shop that models itself from the soda shops that…
A Weekend Getaway in Philly
Posted on April 18, 2012
This past weekend was exactly what we needed. Two nights and two days of Matt and I doing only what the two of us wanted to do and of course that revolved around eating. I had actually spend the first part of Friday visiting with my mom and getting in a pre-weekend TRX workout (sore…
Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies
Posted on April 13, 2012
Even though I LOVE my job now and am so proud of how successful Keep It Sweet Desserts seems to be so far, I still look forward to the weekend. This week I crammed as much work as possible into Monday-Thursday so that I can spend three full days out of the kitchen and (for…

Posted on November 10, 2011

The Best Homemade Applesauce
Posted on September 15, 2011
Before coming back from our weekend away, I had to take advantage of the apple picking available! We went to Windy Hill Farm which had a decent selection of apples to choose from. I was really excited to see they had my favorite variety ready to go. Besides the beloved Honey Crisp, we got a…

Hello Summer
Posted on May 31, 2011
Well hello, Summer. We are so happy to have you here. I’m pretty sure I was wearing a winter coat a couple of weeks ago, but when Mother Nature sends sun and temperatures in the 80s you won’t see me complaining No complaining when we make trips to the New Jersey farmstands Not complaining about…
Puerto Rico Wedding Weekend

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…
A Night at Flex Mussels
Posted on November 11, 2010
I may have stopped recapping Top Chef Just Desserts, but I continued to watch. The show actually got better as the drama went away, and viewers were able to get a glimpse at some extremely talented pastry chefs. The wide range of skills they have is incredible, from wedding cakes, to edible dresses, these…
