For a veteran Floridian (18 years & counting), who formally resided in the cold Northeast for majority of her life, I thank my lucky palm trees that I now live in the South. Your body gets so used to the warmth, that when you do visit the bitter cold, you feel like you are slowly being tortured by a real crazy person. After recently spending 5 days in the Northeast at my sister’s, I have come to the conclusion that winter is like a scorned woman: A real psycho bitch! You know that saying, ‘Hell hath no fury like a scorned woman’? Hell hath no fury…

Irish Soda Bread
0St. Patty’s Day. A day to eat corned beef and cabbage, where green, drink green beer and party like you were actually Irish! Every year for as long as I can remember, my mom made a special meal of corned beef and cabbage with boiled potatoes and rye bread every St. Patty’s Day. I love making a huge sandwich full of meat, cabbage and potatoes and eating it all together. I’m weird, but seriously, give it a try. SO good, especially if you toss some yellow mustard on it. It wasn’t until a couple years ago that my sister started making…
{Sunday Dinner} Stuffed Shells with Homemade Sauce
0Grab your favorite bottle of wine, pour yourself a glass and let’s start cooking, pisan’s! I love me some good old fashioned Italian Sunday dinners. Lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, some nice brasciole, maddone! I was brought up in a home with a old school first generation Italian father and an Italian New Yorker (Brooklyn) mother so I am no stranger to the Sunday dinner. Every weekend I would wake up on Sunday’s to the delicious smell of garlic and by 3 p.m. we would be sitting down for dinner. That’s how they did it growing up and by damn, that’s how…

{Kid Approved} Jennie-O Deli Turkey Skewers
0My husband got the wild idea of having a Super Bowl party…..the day before the Super Bowl. Wasn’t that sweet of him? So of course the party planning was on my shoulders while he confirmed guests. I wanted to do some bites that wouldn’t be too much effort and still be delicious. I decided to whip up some appetizers that we could just pop in our mouth while watching the game. I have always been wanting to make some kind of toothpick skewered appetizer and vowed the next time we had guests, I’d do it. I had some Jennie-O Deli Turkey…

Recently, I had noticed that when I hang my clothes to dry in my laundry room, certain items had drips and drops of detergent on the tops of the shoulders and neckline. This had…
