Avocado Bread
Avocados have become the new craze on the Internet. I had appearances on the Dr.Oz show and Fox 29 here in Philadelphia and they wanted me to prepare different avocado recipes for each. Being that my dad is a baker I wanted to try what I’d been taught since a child and resorted to baking…
Mitsubishi Outlander
I had the pleasure of trying out the new 2016 Mitsbushi Outlander a couple of weeks ago. I have heard on and off reviews on the Outlander so I was excited to check it out. It had a cute look with nothing too stylish compared to its opponents. The interior was standard for a crossover. The 3rd row…

Partnering up with Party City was perfect for my son’s 6th birthday. As some of you parents may know planning a little kid’s birthday can get kinda crazy. Making sure you have the right theme and party supplies is a huge undertaking. Party City is great because it’s a one stop party shop. Everything that…
