Okay, for this week’s Barefoot Bloggers I’m cheating a bit. When I saw that this week’s pick was for Ina’s Baked Shrimp Scampi I was a bit disappointed. I make this ALL THE TIME. Seriously at least once or twice a month. The recipe is great the way it […]

Nota Bene has been on my list of restaurants to visit since it opened about two years ago. The place gets great reviews and received numerous “Best New Restaurant” accolades along the way. Despite […]
Hello all! After week’s vacation in Jamaica I’m back to the cold and the blogosphere. Sadly no Jamaica related posts… it really wasn’t a take pictures of your food kind of vacation, although I did do some good eating. I ate a ton of fresh-caught, never frozen fish, locally grown yams, bananas, […]
The other day my work bestie was raving about this soup and gave me the recipe. I admit it looked pretty delicious and I NEVER covet other people’s lunches. It sounded right up my alley with all the thai flavour and meatballs (I LOVE meatballs) so convincing me to make it was […]

Yes, it’s that time of year again! Last year I did a post about what to serve at your Superbowl party which was a lot of fun for me. This year I figured I would capture the magic one more time!
This year it’s the New Orleans Saints vs. the Indianapolis […]
My quest for the perfect pizza continues. This time the crust recipe came via by Penny Pollack and Jeff Ruby. I can’t remember exactly how I acquired this book but it was likely during my stint interning in network news or when I worked in the TV […]
The other day I was REALLY craving butter tarts but didn’t want to go out and buy some. That’s when I got the brilliant idea of MAKING them. Now since butter tarts a Canadian specialty it’s not that easy to find recipes for them. Well not enough recipes with feedback to be […]
