Mini Vanilla Cinnamon and Sugar Donuts

September 5, 2011 Breakfast

This is a food trend I have not exactly been on top of.  To be honest, I’m not big on donuts and, in the event that I get a craving for one, I buy my donuts at the store. But after seeing more than a few mouth watering recipes on various blogs, I worked myself [...]

Grana Padano Cheese

July 14, 2011 Favorites

  I received cheese in the mail, a sample of Grana Padano. I’m a very, very lucky girl.    Doesn’t this beauty just break your heart? I’m not sure there’s anything more gorgeous than a hunk of fine cheese. And Grana Padano is especially good, Italian cheese- apparently one of the most popular in Italy. [...]

What the heck is a Siggi?

February 24, 2011 Breakfast

I’ve been hearing a lot about Siggi’s yogurt lately and have been meaning to try it for a while now. Everyone’s talking about it- creamy, Icelandic yogurt that tastes as though it descended from Heaven. I love yogurt, so I just had to give it a try. Ooooh, so creamy. Whoa, tasted a little bitter [...]

Immaculate Baking Cinnamon Rolls

January 21, 2011 Breakfast

Tea Forte

December 11, 2010 Favorites

Have you tried Tea Forte (which translates roughly to “strong tea”)? I received a couple of these little guys at a recent baby shower. I’d never seen tea like this and was intrigued. As the weather’s cooled considerably, I’ve finally gotten back into the ritual of enjoying hot tea. I decided to try out an [...]

Liberte Mediterranee

August 26, 2010 Favorites

I picked up this brand of yogurt the other day while at Whole Foods (my home away from home). I hadn’t tried it and it was on sale so I went for it. I’m usually reluctant to try new yogurts without a recommendation because you just never know what to expect…and I’m really picky. But [...]
