Potato, Crab and Gorgonzola Soup

March 2, 2012

In the past couple of weeks I attended not one, but two soup exchange parties.  I went to my first one back in 2009, and then attended again last year, so it’s become my winter tradition.  The premise is you gather your friends together and everyone brings a favorite variety of soup.  The party is [...]

Crab Salad BLT

January 18, 2012

Before Christmas I mentioned my love of holiday traditions, but I realized the other day that I forgot one – new year’s resolutions.  For a long time I never made any.  They seemed like a cliche and I assumed that even if I did make one, my follow through would be poor. Then in 2007 [...]

Southwestern Clam Chowder

April 6, 2011

I don’t know what the weather is like where you live, but we got a delightful warm spell here in Chicago over the weekend.  My iPhone weather app confirmed it, the weather was in the high 70′s!  It was wonderfully unexpected and you better believe that Oliver and I relished it. We made our first [...]

Lobster Salad Stuffed Arepas

March 30, 2011

Last month I had a great time participating in the 5 Star Makeover hosted by Natasha of Five Star Foodie Culinary Adventures and Lazaro of Lazaro Cooks!

Crab and Spinach Manicotti with a Sweet Corn Bechamel

July 16, 2010

I love when sweet corn starts appearing at the farmers’ market because to me it is the quintessential summer food.  I find myself including it in just about everything from my Low Fat Sweet Corn Ice Cream (which I am seriously considering making again with Cashew Caramel Corn as a garnish) to my Cocoa-Kissed Beef & Delicata [...]

Buitoni Shrimp & Lobster Ravioli Product Review

June 17, 2010

Today was one of those weeks where you only make it to Thursday and already you are utterly, totally exhausted. I had so many projects piling up at work that all I could do was keep my head down and power through. Oddly enough, these tend to be the weeks where I like a long [...]

Lobster Taste on a Shrimp Budget

June 8, 2009

I enjoy the expression “Champagne taste on a beer budget” even though it’s not so fitting as I don’t drink beer. However, it does describe me for the better part of my twenties (Not that they are over yet). However, I’d like to think that due to a lot of hard work and money management [...]
