If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen the healthy pizza road test I did a few weeks back. On three different nights, I tested three different healthy pizza recipes to see if A) “healthy pizza” is even a thing that exists, and B) if it comes anywhere close to being a viable alternative to my beloved delivery pizza. I learned a lot and came out of it with two out of three recipes that I’d actually make…

Refreshing Summer Cocktail: Champagne Grapefruit Mojito
Posted on July 6, 2018When it comes to what to drink on a hot summer day, my go-to is usually an ice cold draft beer. The only downside to beer, though, is that it can make you feel a little like a bloated whale, especially during a heat wave when all you want to be doing is wearing as little clothing as possible.

I feel like I make the same ten dishes over and over again. For one thing, I know what I like, and if I’m going to spend an hour in the kitchen I’m going to make something I like. For another thing, New York groceries are expensive. The thought of buying a haul of ingredients to try something new and have it turn out badly isn’t too appealing.

Now that it’s cooling down up here, though, I’m whipping out all of the chilis and stews and hot apple ciders that got no love down in West Palm Beach. This…
It’s just days away, my friends. Can you feel it? COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS ALMOST UPON US. The season of tailgating and trash talking and lots and lots of Gator chomping. It’s the best time of the year. Even if you think the SEC is just some government agency that regulates the stock market, I know you can get behind football season food. So today I’m sharing my go-to tailgate contribution, buffalo chicken dip. It’s the perfect thing to bring to…
So, Latvians have a holiday called ‘John Day.’ As you might imagine, being in a relationship with a Latvian named John is very exciting when this holiday rolls around. Technically the holiday is called Jāņi, and it celebrates the summer solstice. The traditional celebration involves wearing flower crowns, singing songs, staying up all night and jumping over bonfires. I suppose there’s a bit of alcohol involved, too. All in all, a pretty sweet holiday. And there’s one more major Jāņi…
