Mussels have a sweet spot in my heart. From the first time I had them in Paris with my buddy Kross, I was not prepared for my lifelong love of these humble bivalve mollusks. The funny thing is that I had them by happenstance when I was in France. I was traveling there after my…

Brie Phyllo Cups
“Just hear those sleigh bells ringin’ and a jing-jing-jinglin’ too.

I’m definitely in the holiday spirit this year and I’m just so happy to have Alexis…

It’s the holiday season! Well, it’s November 27th and, frankly, that’s good enough for me.

It’s fall…which means it’s Pumpkin Spice Latte season! I remember my very first fancy coffee drink! It was September 2001 and I was with my friend Amy, who loved Starbucks. When I say loved, that is an understatement. She LOVED Starbucks! She would get a “fancy coffee drink,” as I like to call them, every…

Vegetarian Stir Fry
If you know me, you know that if you ask me what I want for dinner, there is about a 83.143% chance that I will say Chinese Food. I love Chinese food…really all Asian food, but definitely Chinese food. There was a period of time a few years back that I would literally head to…
Tuscan Kale Salad
I am always in the mood for a hearty salad…one that will fill me up…even though there is no meat.
