Nov

2011

I recently watched the Oscar award winning documentary, “The Cove,” which documents the slaughtering and shipment of beautiful bottle-nose dolphins in what’s referred to as, the cove, in Taiji, Japan. Richard O’Barry, the dolphin trainer for the once popular TV show, Flipper, demonstrates a massive amount of courage in his gripping documentation of the fate… Read the Rest…

Miami’s vegan food truck, Mac’n, is owned and operated by the sweet, Francesca. With an entirely vegan menu, including gluten free options,  I bought one of everything that was gluten free on the menu. Between my boyfriend and I, we enjoyed a very cheesy macaroni and cheese, a barbeque sandwich, watermelon and basil salad, fried… Read the Rest…

Remembering 9/11, I made these cookies for the local fire department as a thank you for their commitment and service to our community. I have dubbed these little devils, “Firefighter cookies,” not only because of who they’re for, but also because they’re super crispy. Go ahead, laugh at my corny chef-joke. Dip these bad boys… Read the Rest…

This Sunday marks the 10th anniversary of the attacks on 9/11. In remembrance of all of the American heroes that fell that day, I am going to bake (yes, bake!) a bunch of doughnuts from the Babycakes NYC recipe book, and bring them to my local firehouse.
