I am always looking for new, delicious recipes for a gathering. Problem is, when I find some I usually don’t have a gathering to go to so I can’t make it. Good thing Easter came along – I dug into my arsenal of recipes and found the perfect dip to make that has been burning a hole in my apron. (and yes, I have an arsenal of recipes) This dip is hot, it’s cheesy, it’s corny and freakin’ awesome! It’s not the healthiest dip on the block, but let’s face it, most of the healthy ones…

Ocean Potion Takes on #FLBestBeach!
0It’s SUMMER TIME, ya’ll! OK, well it might not technically be summer yet but down here in Florida, it sure as heck feels like it! That means pool, beach and park days galore. No matter where we live or how close to the equator we might be, the sun is one powerful beast and everyone needs to protect their skin from the UV rays. Yes, even the most sun worshiping, baby oil-lathering person needs to stop and protect, cause our skin is the largest organ in our body and we all need to keep it in the best…
Restaurant Remake: P.F. Chang’s Lettuce Wraps
0Who doesn’t like P.F. Chang’s? That shit is loaded with calories for a reason, it’s so damn good! Even though the menu has gone through some changes over the years, one thing still remains delicious as ever: the Lettuce Wraps. (que heavenly angels singing in unison) Since my dining out on random nights is few and far between, I try to recreate some of my favorite meals at home. Some might end up the garbage – OK most end up in the garbage – but there is a very small percentage that I do knock out of the park…
The Day I Got Mom-Shamed By A Police Officer
0Seeing that yesterday was Mother’s Day – a happy belated to all you moms out there! – I thought it was only appropriate to share my recent mom-shaming incident with everyone……. It was like any other sunny day running errands with the girls…except I didn’t see that motorcycle cop hiding in the bushes. I usually have ridiculous cop-radar and could spot them miles away, but today was different. I don’t know if it was the 3 year old nagging me to get her ice cream or the fact the 8 month old was crying her brains out because she…

Fabulous Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
0I am all about finding the most fabulous gifts, whether it be for someone’s birthday, Chirstmas or even for Mother’s/Father’s day. My email inbox has been flooded with email blasts of everything from flower bouquets to mom-encrusted jewelry. Some of those kinds of gifts could be so generic and boring. Hell, if I were to get a damn necklace with “Mom” scripted next to a rose, I’ll shoot myself. Ok, I might not shoot myself, but I’d be highly disappointed. What am I, a 90 year old grandma? No, I am young mom, we need something relevant and stylish!…
Meatless Friday’s: Easy Gazpacho
0A few months back, we went to dinner with some friends at their families local restaurant and I tried gazpacho for the first time. Totally blew my mind. It was cold, crispy, tomato & cucumber-y – I completely fell in love and needed to have it again. My preggo cravings were in full effect and all I wanted was gazpacho ever since. Well, I went out to dinner last week to a Spanish restaurant and of course had to try their version, but it just didn’t do the job like the first one. My husband told me I’m like a…
Last Minute BBQ Black Bean & Corn Salsa Recipe

We have done all 4! It’s been an great weekend, got a great tan going, got to spend time with family and friends and really got…
NYC In A NY Minute Quick Drying Nail Polish
0On my hunt for the best and cheapest nail polish, this month’s travels brought me to Target and NYC In A New York Minute Quick Drying Nail Polish. NYC has officially carved a special place in my mani-heart. Not only does this polish give you a fantastically perfect mani that looks like you just got pampered, it’s $1.74. Boom. Just two coats of their color, Sidewalkers, and a clear top coat my nails look great. I am still trying to get used to the greyish color, since I’m typically a light-colored kinda gal. It’s slowly growing on me, although I…
