Blueberry compote

On a whim I purchased an ice cream maker from Woot.Com .   It’s been a great investment and a really fun way to try new ice cream flavors you wouldn’t think of, like pumpkin pie.

After making several batches of ice cream, I decided to come up with a way…

7 Steps for Going Out

Those of you that know me know that I don’t necessarily have an eye for fashion.  I primarily choose my clothing options based upon one thing: price.  My sister and I have quite different ideas of what we consider deals.  To me a deal is finding a button down shirt…

Single Servings: Basil Pesto Grilled Chicken

This “Single Servings” recipe was inspired by how dirty my house is.  It’s way too messy to invite other people over for dinner, and I don’t really do leftovers, so cooking for one it is.

The true inspiration for the dish came from the surplus of basil growing in my indoor herb…

You should be ashamed if you watch these shows too

I’m slightly embarrassed to even write this blog post because it requires me to admit that I still watch two shows on the CW.  Being 26 and watching two shows on the CW should be a giant red flag for anyone who wants to be my friend and / or…

Having green isn’t easy

Regardless of what some people try to tell you, money is pretty damn important.  People that say “Money doesn’t buy happiness,” have clearly never sipped a bottle of Cristal while receiving a Swedish massage all while having Elton John play a private concert for them.  For clarity purposes, I haven’t…

Pan Fried Gnocchi

Here’s a dish I made for my friend a few weeks ago.  I invited her over for dinner without have a real plan of what to make.  I had picked up some gnocchi earlier, so I thought I would spice it up with something different from your average sauce.…

Broad Street Run – Trail Mix

This Sunday marked my brother’s girlfriend and my third time at the annual Blue Cross Broad Street Run.  For those of you not familiar, this is a 10 mile run through Broad Street which goes…

Mobile post: food nibbles- Patzeria Pizza NYC

I’m on vacation right now in NYC. I didn’t really come with a plan, instead I’m just winging it.

I’m using urbanspoon to pick my places to eat and seeing how they stack up. My hotel is right in Times Square.

Ubranspoon suggested Patzeria Pizza which didn’t disappoint.…
