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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
