Hey! Remember me? I post food sometimes! Foodies, indulge me a personal reflection moment. I am of the school of thought that self-care is very important and that there are aspects of your feelings and motivations that you should listen to and heed. So when you see that I haven’t been posting for a while that usually means I’ve burned …

So we survived Hurricane Sandy!!! Yay! Not that I had any doubts. But still, I’m grateful my house wasn’t damaged, my electricity stayed on. I’m at home today as the mayor has asked us not to drive until crews get the roads clear. So I thought this would be the PERFECT opportunity to share this neat recipe I’ve been making. …

All the pretty colors… (Before we get to this recipe…have you taken a look at the finalist recipes for the Fit Frappe recipe contest? Yes, ok.

And as much as they tell us the holiday is about thankfulness, for many of us it just doesn’t play out that way. Because let’s be real: in many families it’s about the two f’s – …

 This is Candice. In her hands is a steak and cheese egg casserole. I’ll get to that in a moment. First, let’s talk about Candice. She came to my breakfast-themed Pouch Party about a week ago and she’s the kind of person I love to meet at my cooking demos. When I called on her to be my “kitchen …

The other day on the Pouch Party Facebook page, I asked you guys, my fellow “foodies” what foods you’d like to see get a make-over on the blog. From this a good discussion sprouted about barbecue sauce. Yes barbecue sauce…not exactly the meaning of life or world peace but still important in its own right. There were quite a few …

Before we get to the above, let’s talk about love, shall we? Love is…being at critical mass of dessert in your fridge (when you’re not a particularly big dessert person) and making yet another dessert because that dessert is needed. That is love my friends. I love you all. If you love me back, I know you’ll understand the fact …
