Yesterday I had the pleasure of having a preview tour of Flavors of the Avenue. This was a guided tour to some of East Passyunk, Pennsylvania’s best restaurants. I have to say I will definitely be returning to East Passyunk especially in the summer months. Flavors of the Avenue is a festival in Philadelphia that I…

Italian Easter Pie
Being from an Italian and Brazilian family I know how much Easter means to us. I also know that my family enjoys sweets. My father is a baker. He would always bake different things for us. I remember him making this and I am not sure where he got the recipe; maybe from my grandmother or…
Mexican Lasagna
I love having mexican night at our house. I try to make something different everytime. I think this Mexican Lasagna is now on the list of favorites; probably #1. This dish is super easy to make, and I’m sure the family will love. Instead of using pasta I used whole wheat tortillas. I hope you enjoy! Ingredients: 3 tablespoons…

Homemade Chocolate Crumbled Bacon (Turkey Bacon)
I am a chocoholic and am proud of it. I love almost any kind of chocolate and am willing to try different flavors. I came across a chocolate with bacon before and was in love, but I was really in the mood for some tonight and just wanted that quick fix. So I went ahead and prepared…
Carrot Scones
Easter is upon us and I wanted to make something where I could use carrots (because of the Easter Bunny of course). I didn’t want to make a carrot cake or cupcakes, so I came up with some carrot scones. They can be enjoyed with breakfast or after a light dinner with some coffee. Scones come in all…
Healthy Cookie Cluster
Spring has arrived and some of us are counting down the days until we can hit the beach. This healthy little cookie is a great way to satisfy those cookie cravings. The best ingredients make the best cookies. Don’t get me wrong I still love my chocolate chip cookies and will never give those up,…
Tria Cafe Review
One of my favorite spots to dine and unwind in Philly is Tria Cafe. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner and some of the staff, and they couldn’t be a more accomodating, wonderful and extremely knowledgeable group of people. Sitting down the other night, I chose a few dishes and drinks to try. …
Reuben Hash Casserole
This is a little unique twist on Reuben Sandwiches, Hash Browns and Corned Beef Hash. Not sure about you, but I love all 3. I wanted to make something different so this is the idea I came up with. I mixed everything together but without the bread. I think this would be great for any get…
St. Patty’s Day Pavlova
Pavlova is a meringue-based dessert named after the Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova. It is a meringue dessert with a crisp crust, and soft and light inside. It reminds me of a meringue cookie. The inner part of this meringue is like a little boat so you can stuff it with whatever you like when its done…
Shepherds Pie My Way
Since St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner I figured I would share this yummy little recipe with you. I am far from being Irish, but I have respect for all foods. I wanted to give this traditional dish a little twist. I went with using Cauliflower instead of the mashed potatoes. I also used some turkey…
Frozen Banana Treat
Dessert anyone? I love fresh fruit with dessert. This was a super easy and delightful treat. My kids loved it and I didn’t feel guilty enjoying it. I made a frozen banana treat, it actually reminded me more of a little custard but Ice cold. You want to freeze the bananas for about 3 to 4…
