So while you were having your Starbucks this morning…guess what I was doing? I was concocting a Mocha Martini using Godiva’s Chocolate Truffle coffee. You see, this post is part of Foodbuzz’s Tastemaker Program with Godiva Coffee. As a featured publisher on Foodbuzz, I am occasionally invited to experiment with products and recipes. Tough job. Someone has […]
This post is not about a recipe (although you will get one)… This post is not about food (although I will tease you)… This post is about friendship… and re-inventing yourself… and finding your passion… and the power of friendship and networking. It’s about having a cup of coffee 0r a glass of wine with […]
I’m doing my first food demonstration at a local garden center, Graf Growers. Summer salsas are the theme and what better way to celebrate the flavors of the season? There is so much you can do with salsas… So many flavor combinations… So much flexibility… Hundreds of combinations, but for tonight we’ll start with three. A […]

It all started with the intentions of gathering at a local vineyard. We didn’t check to see whether the vineyard […]
I just made banana ice cream from just one ingredient – bananas! I first saw this recipe on the Today show, then on Dr. Oz and it began popping up in the blog world. I had to try it for I found it so intriguing. Did it really taste like ice cream? You start with […]
Everywhere I turned these days, I see strawberries! My favorite market had flats full of juicy, sweet, red berries just begging to come home with me. Sure I could have made a shortcake recipe or pie recipe for you but let’s do something that will last through the year. With Mother’s Day this weekend […]
It’s Friday night and tonight, I really want wings. Why is it that I love all the things that are not good for me? On Friday nights, you don’t care what’s good for you… This time though, I came up with a healthy alternative to my wing craving… I took some thin boneless chicken breasts… […]
I’m totally obsessed with Peeps. My friends and family think I’m crazy but this past week I saw a recipe in on Butrcreamblondi’s blog about making peeps from scratch. Her Peeps are beautiful and glamorous with pink disco dust! I suddenly felt this deep need to make peeps. I had to do it! I carved out a […]
