Thank you Cooking Channel…and Williams-Sonoma!  I’m a huge Top Chef fan – including Masters and Just Desserts.  Definitely my favorite season ever was when the Voltaggio brothers were on.  They both just rocked it – every single thing Bryan made was perfect and Michael threw in some crazy...

I feel like a bit of a late bloomer with this because I’ve been a zombie for about a year and a half.  Not that long ago I noticed my site blowing up like it used to when it was easier to get on tastespotting and foodgawker.  Back when they really looked at at the whole picture rather than just ...

Archer Farms Gelato…Imported From Italy

How did I not see this before?  I’m at Target three times a week sometimes!  At least once per week I look at the ice creams/gelato selections and rarely purchase anything since it’s either not good or not even close to natural.  Today, I stumbled upon Archer Farms Imported From Italy Gelato....

Get More Sleep With a 3 Year Old!

Yep, I know, another kid post.  Well, my 8 month old wants me to be with her every waking second of the day and yells at me after ignoring her for too long just doing laundry or dishes – so you can imagine how I don’t get to the computer ever- or get to cook too much beyond Trader Joe’s pre-...

Get Your Kid To Eat Broccoli…Soup and CSN

My dad loves literally throwing everything from his fridge into his soups.  Seriously.  Strangely, he starts off with canned soup as a base.  I think he must’ve bought a case of healthy Chicken and Rice soup from Costco, since his last two soups were started with canned Chicken and Rice soup. ...
