So I knew Valentine’s Day was approaching right around December 26th. I kid you not (and I’m sure you noticed) stores started putting up Valentine’s Day decor when we were all still trying to enjoy our holidays! But its ok because it got me thinking about what special treat I wanted to create this year […]

I know the name of this recipe may sound odd, but back in Romania where I grew up it’s so popular! I remember asking my mom to make this for me all the time. I love savory pasta dishes but my very very sweet tooth takes over a whole lot! So you know how people […]

Today was a reggae kind of day. I always seem to listen to it when summer is approaching. In six weeks my husband and I will be heading to Europe for a month and we’re so excited!!! I can’t wait to see the look on his face when we visit all the cities he’s been […]

Oh sweet sponge cake how I love you. You’re so light, fluffy, and full of flavor. Thank you for being so good even without butter or oil! My husband ate this cake in pretty much a matter of 24 hours. My mom and I had one slice each and that was that. He devoured this […]

I know it’s probably so strange that I made a hearty soup mid summer, but I have good reason, honest! I came down with something last week and it pretty much put me on bed rest the entire week. My husband was in town and he took such good care of me, I don’t know […]

I really love how I feel now that I don’t eat meat anymore. I’ve been wanting to cut it out of my diet for a long time and after watching numerous documentaries and reading a ton of articles about the amount of hormones that animals are injected with I decided it was finally time last […]

This fresh apple juice is so amazing and such a great base for smoothies and other drinks. All you need is apples and a lemon and you’re all set! I made quite a bit of juice so I wanted to save some for my morning blended smoothies. I used a mini cupcake pan and poured the […]

I know I’ve been going a little crazy with Tiramisu recipes but I just can’t get enough. There are so many desserts and cakes out there that are just way too sweet and overpowering. Tiramisu is just the opposite. It’s delicate, perfectly sweet, and so incredibly light. I made this cake for my sister’s birthday […]

Could you survive for six months eating only food scraps? Well, one couple did just that in an eye opening documentary called Just Eat It. It aired last night on MSNBC and I have to say some of the statistics were so disturbing. I already had a pretty good idea that as a nation we […]

We had some rain in California yesterday! Woohoo!!! April brought some showers just like the saying goes.  My garden received a gift from mother nature, I ate some fresh and delicious potato salad, and I got to snuggle up with my pup and watch movies. Good day! My mom would always make this salad when […]
