Healthy(ish) Mac and Cheese

June 19, 2017

Mac and cheese is one of the most beautiful comfort foods in American cuisine. Unfortunately, it often gets a bad rep due to its high calorie content. Once upon a time, I set out to make it healthier for my family and discovered a process which in the end might not have made it exactly … More Healthy(ish) Mac and Cheese

The Funky Cow, Hammonton, NJ

June 14, 2017

Hammonton once was a town I’d sigh and swoon for as we drove through on our way to Cape May. Thanks to Coffeehouse Adventures, we began to grow more familiar with Hammonton and instead of flying through, we’d stop, walk around a little, grab coffee, a bite to eat, and continue on our way. One … More The Funky Cow, Hammonton, NJ

Pork Roll Festivals, 2017

June 12, 2017

Last year, I heard tell of dueling pork roll festivals held in our great capital. As a Jersey girl, and therefore, obviously, a lover of pork roll, I knew I needed to learn more. The best information I could dig up came from this NJ.com article. When I told Hubby of the two festivals and … More Pork Roll Festivals, 2017

Sweet Carolina Barbecue Company

June 7, 2017

I’m always down to give a new food truck a try. But I have to admit… I have not yet attended a food truck event. I know. I know. I know. I see signs for them all the time, local wineries host them monthly, yet I still haven’t attended one. It’s gotten to the point … More Sweet Carolina Barbecue Company

Make it Monday! Easy Shepherd’s Pie

June 5, 2017

After making somewhere around seven pounds of mashed potatoes for a family dinner where one would expect people to heap potatoes on their plate, somehow, I ended up with at least three pounds of leftover. Not wanting my hard work, or my beautiful potatoes, to go to waste, the following week became about how to … More Make it Monday! Easy Shepherd’s Pie

May Dinners: A Photo Series

June 2, 2017

I don’t know if I clearly expressed this, but I gained a lot of pleasure from my 30 Days of Dinner challenge. Sure, it had an 80% success rate*, but it kept me on my toes and kept dinner from being something I work hard to produce which then disappears in seconds. Now they’re all … More May Dinners: A Photo Series

The Pop Shop, Medford

May 31, 2017

I’ve been hearing about The Pop Shop for way too long to have only recently visited. I feel like I’m behind the times; like the cool train has left and I’m racing on the track, trying to catch up and hop on.* *Knowing me, I’d slam into the back when it pulled up to the … More The Pop Shop, Medford

White Russian Birthday Cake

May 29, 2017

I love to bake, but I have something to confess. I hate making cakes. I really, really do, and I’ll tell you why. Cakes (and cupcakes) have become more like works of art to be marveled at than food which in a matter of minutes will disappear in bellies. It’s all about massive layers and … More White Russian Birthday Cake

Cake Stand Bakery, Voorhees

May 26, 2017

It’s been far too long since my last bakery post. I’m not sure I can remember that far back. Clearly, something must be done. This post almost wouldn’t have been if it weren’t for a rather large sign on the highway noting Cake Stand’s existence. Our discovery went something like this: Me: Oh, Lance! Look, … More Cake Stand Bakery, Voorhees

Make it Monday! Baked Spaghetti Squash Surprise

May 22, 2017

I’m super excited to share this recipe with you because it was born from my Tuesday hangouts with my favorite person. Jon usually asks me to give him three choices for dinner, and knowing this, I always have three Jonny-bo-bonny worthy dinners on hand. A few weeks ago, he asked for baked ziti with spaghetti … More Make it Monday! Baked Spaghetti Squash Surprise

October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month. While in Rome, I had the privilege of going to La Locanda dei Girasoli for dinner. It was one of my favorite parts of my trip. Check out today's blog post for the full story. . . . . . #therealjersey #downisonlyadirection #downsyndromeawareness #rome #italy #lalocandadeigirasoli #smile
As we walked through the nearby church, I heard Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G and knew we had stumbled upon something special. The man didn't belong outside. He belonged on a stage. Yet, in his own way he had created one, there on the street, just he and his instrument and the music within him. . . . . . #therealjersey #roma #italia #streetmusicians #itsadoublebass #notacello #bachisboss #worthmorethanafeweuro Check out the new blog post.
