When working in food communications, it’s easy to get caught up in the latest fad. You know what I’m talking about. Those highfalutin ingredients and dishes that sound just as good rolling off the tongue as they taste rolling on it. Truffle-infused such-and-such. Organic trendy-berry compote. Grass-fed dodo eggs, 17 ways. It’s easy to forget [...]
Photo credit: GourmetMom After posting on healthy fare with these delicious carrot muffins, I’ve decided to take a walk on the dark and delectable side with a fun take on S’mores. If you can’t wait for the summer campouts and fire pits, you must try this easy-to-make take on the campfire classic. Instead of chocolate [...]
Recently, I wrote about attending a local viewing party at Restaurant Thir13en for ABC’s new hit cooking competition show “The Taste” with my colleagues John Armato and Jenna Buhagiar.

To deepen the identity crisis, Bon Appétit’s new November issue also touts these versatile spinach puffs as a “vegetable side and dinner roll in one.” Call ‘em what you will. These puffs take no guff when it comes [...]
On a recent trip for a client, I met with food blogger and all-things-Italian aficionado, Paula Jones of Bell’Alimento.

With apologies to Family Guy for riffing off their “Peanut Butter Jelly Time” song in my title, I couldn’t resist sharing my enthusiasm for this recipe even if it doesn’t involve a dog or a banana suit. This fabulous recipe combines two of my favorite things – snickerdoodle cookies and brownies (or, in this case, [...]
