Like the good Jewish mother that she is, Little Mommies continued to bake for Rosh Hashanah. This next cookie is one of the first cookies I ever made, resulting in 300 spotted crazies for Teacher Recognition Day in elementary school. Yes, I get it; I was a suck up. Don’t make me admit what a [...]

Need A Man? Make These Chops

You know that “If you build it, they will come” thing? If you make these pork chops for a guy, I’m sure you can end your lonely nights. Plus, they are absurdly simple and can be made out of stuff you can find at the next door deli. (I might or might not know.) I altered the [...]

I feel like all women fall into a trap of dieting for an event. I ate as healthy as possible until my cousin’s wedding in which I was the maid of honor, and then once the ceremony was over, I started eating everything in sight. Luckily, I have not been in my parents’ house for [...]

See this button above? Stumble me, make my day!. Oh, and if you don’t know what stumbled upon is, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stumbleupon I’ve been bad lately. Like, really bad. Cuban food, pizza, hot wings…I needed some detox. However, the problem with being bad for so long leads you to crave more and more bad food. [...]
Bottle O’ Curry

I see Indian food in three ways, carbs, coconut milk, and tomato-based. I try to avoid the first two. However, two of my favorite dishes, Biryani (rice) and Korma (a curry with coconut milk), are in the first two categories. Many curries contain coconut milk, which are much higher calorie, as well as served over [...]
Daddy’s Grillin’ Turkey Breast

After my previous post in which I made fun of my parents for not feeding me, they redeemed themselves with a very nice dinner at home. As I have mentioned before, my dad is quite inventive with the grill and has a pretty good handle on how to turn something simple into something miraculous. He [...]
Mini Jam Tarts

Every girl will always remember her first time… …using a food processor all by herself. Fear, anxiety, probably a little pain…you know where I’m going. My first food-processed concoction was Mini Jam Tarts, also known as thumbprint cookies. I loved when my mom made them, because it would mean we would have lemon curd in [...]
My New Favorite Dipping Sauce

Something very odd happens whenever I go back to parents’ house. You see, every time I talk to them, they always seem to be eating. However, when I decide to arrive, there is magically no food in the house! Incredible right? So then, I must always resort to begging my father to pick me up something to eat [...]
