Lent is back and that means our Meatless Friday’s edition is too. We have an ongoing joke in our family about how my husband claims to “hate” Lent. He was born and raised Jewish so he didn’t have to stick to the no meat rule on Friday’s or giving up something for 40 days. Since we started dating both our birthdays usually fall around or during Lent. I typically give up all sweets and for some reason this bothers the crap out of him that I don’t eat birthday cake or any sweets used to celebrate our birthdays. Anywho, he…
The Greatest Olympic Movies Of All Time
0I love Olympic years-2 full weeks of great competition events that we never get to see normally. I mean how great is luging. So what better way to celebrate the first week of the 2014 Winter Olympics than with the top 5 greatest Winter Olympic movies ever made. Some of you may agree, some of you may think I’m smoking crack for thinking any of these movies are the greatest, but deep down – even if you don’t want to admit it – you know I’m right. 5. Mighty Ducks 2 Although it was the Junior Goodwill Games and not…
Balsamic Glazed Baby Portobellos
0We have finally been going out on date nights and a few weeks we hit up Trulucks for their all you can eat stone crabs. I was quite disappointed in my final total, but marveled at our friends who took down 23 legs a piece. Believe it or not, one of the most delicious things about that meal was one of the side dishes…balsamic glazed baby bellos. Drooling just thinking about them. My husband and I were talking about them for days when we both agreed we could totally make them ourselves. Challenge accepted. Better-Than-Trulucks Balsamic Glazed Baby Portobellos Mushrooms…

Lift, Tone, Burn with Pure Barre Ft. Lauderdale!
0Motivation to get back in shape after baby #2 has been terribly hard for me. The little free time I have is usually dedicated to showering, cleaning or sitting on my sagging rear end. So needless to say, days where I can hit the gym are few and far between. When I was approached to attend a blogger fitness class in the Union Planters Plaza in Ft. Lauderdale, I thought maybe this would be the wake up call my tired ass needed. Enter Pure Barre (aka my newest obsession). I have heard about Barre classes for years, just never knew…
Kalamata Olive Aioli Dip with Herb Fries (Just like Nordstrom’s!)
1
Happiest of New Years to all of you! One of my goals this year is to get back on track with my site here, because lets face it, I’ve been MIA! With good reasons though…so I can’t beat myself up too much! With Baby O almost sleeping through the night, I am less of a zombie now a days so I can actually formulate some words together! And cook again…which I have been majorly slacking in, too. Over Christmas, my 2 favorite cousins and I did some returning at Nordstrom’s and happened to stop into Bistro N for a little…

Relax This Season With Elements Therapeutic Massage in Boca Raton
0I had the pleasure of experiencing Elements Therapeutic Massage in Boca Raton first hand, and let me tell you, it jump started my tired, achy body for this holiday season! The day of my massage started like it any other usual day does, complete chaos and mayhem. I was up a couple times during the night with the newborn and of course my toddler had to throw the most horrific tantrum just as I was supposed to leave. Needless to say, I was more than ready to get some time to myself. I arrived to Elements Therapeutic and walked in…
Recipe Remix: Fettucine Alfredo
0So about a week ago, my husband had the wonderful idea of having Fettuccine Alfredo for dinner. Don’t have to ask me twice! Pasta with lots of butter, cheese and milk? Uh no brainer. We wanted something to bulk up the Fettuccine Alfredo recipe we have perfected and our usual go-to add in is chicken. BORING. We needed something different to spice up our Saturday night, seeing as we would probably end up spending the night sprawled on the couch watching HGTV or Food Network. I know what you’re thinking..we are cah-rayyyzaaay! He brilliantly suggested baby portobello mushrooms. I typically…
