Warm Pumpkin Salad

Pumpkins are a staple for fall decor and food. I love everything pumpkin.  I’m that person that will have everything pumpkin as soon as October hits. I love to incorporate it in my cooking. I’m lucky enough that my store carries per cut and peeled pieces.  I like to make warm salads during the cooler…

Kerrygold Cheesy Gnocchi

Weekdays can be pretty crazy with kids in school or with work schedules.  This is a simple dish for those hectic nights.  My kids love this dish.  They say it reminds them of Mac and cheese but with gnocchi. Traditionally people make this dish with peas and bacon. But I wanted to switch it up…

Jacked sweet potato quesadilla

Sweet potatoes are such a great alternative to potatoes and have so many health benefits. I love making French fries and burgers with sweet potatoes, but since my family loves a good Mexican meal I went ahead and made a sweet potato quesadilla. It was a hit we all loved it. Give it a try,…

Apple chips

Sweet, simple, and healthy, these homemade apple chips have become a fall staple.  It’s hard to believe that fall is finally here. Pass on the potato chips and instead try this easy and healthy idea: apple chips. Sure, you can buy apple chips at the supermarket, but if you look at the ingredients they are full…

Harvest Dinner at Jenkintown Whole Foods Market

One of my favorite places to shop and grab food on the go is Whole Foods Market in Jenkintown.  They came up with a great idea. This Thursday September 24th Whole Foods will be hosting a 4 course Harvest dinner. This is the perfect way to begin the fall season.   A fresh and delectable…

Buick Encore 2015

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of testing out the new Buick Encore. I think It’s safe to say Buick has become my foodie car. Encore I say is the baby of the Buick brand, because it’s tiny and cute. It’s perfect for our millennials out there. The interior is super stylish with all…

Homemade Poptarts

Sweet treats aren’t a hard sell, but somehow, we’ve decided to up the allure. Meet the homemade Pop-Tart on a stick. Inspired by the requests of some creative kiddos, this dessert is great alternative to store-bought pastries, which can be loaded with artificial colors and flavors. Ours, instead, opt for fresh fruit and no preservatives. You won’t need…

SkyBrunch at the Top of The Tower

I had the pleasure of taking the family to this beautiful SkyBrunch at the Top of the Tower. The views and the food were fantastic a must try. The buffet is endless and the brunch cocktails are out of this world delicious. Philadelphia’s loftiest brunch experience is at the Top of the Tower {atop the…

Kerrygold Mac and Cheese

Mac and cheese to me is a staple of comfort food. I haven’t made homemade mac and cheese in a while, so I wanted to give it a try with one of my favorite brands of cheese and butter Kerrygold. I used Kerrygold aged cheddar and creamy dubliner cheese wedges. For the base of the…

Festive Champagne Punch

Give a final burst of summer this Labor Day weekend with this delicious Prosecco punch. It’s packed with flavor and super refreshing on these last couple days of heat. This drink would actually be really enjoyable around the holidays too. Feel free to add your favorite fruits. Your guests will be coming back for more,…
