As I mentioned yesterday, Sunday brunch is one of my favorite meals. It’s not so much about what’s served (although who doesn’t like traditional brunch foods?!) as it is about the calm and relaxation of a Sunday morning spent with friends and family without the rush of a weekday meal. Now that we have kids, Sunday brunch isn’t the same…
Warm up with a Cran-Toddy or stay refreshed with a Cranberry Cider Cooler – two cranberry cider cocktail recipes to enjoy all winter long! Pin the Recipe Cocktails are trending and the folks at The Recipe ReDux know it! Which is why this month’s ReDux theme is: Beverages Are Hot! That which is served in a mug, glass, or stein is…
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Kudos and thanks to my husband for making me a delicious Mother’s Day brunch. He loves to cook, but rarely gets to do so these days, so he was excited to get into the kitchen and cook up some yummy breakfast treats including baked bread pudding French toast and a sun-dried tomato asparagus quiche….
Last week we had some great weather and started cooking up spring delights in the kitchen. The week didn’t go completely as planned and we missed out on our Shakshuka dinner, but hopefully one night this week we’ll get to enjoy this popular Israeli breakfast dish for dinner. Don’t forget – Sunday is Mother’s day! Making brunch for any of…
If you live in the Northeast, you may have spent a lot of time indoors this past weekend due to snow storm Nemo. Despite the 16+ inches of snow we got in New Rochelle, we did manage to get out for dinner Saturday night and have brunch followed by a nice walk Sunday morning. The rest of the time was…
The holiday season may be over, but if you’re like me, you’re always in need of gifts for family and friends who are celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, housewarmings, or any other occasion. One gift I love to give is cookbooks – especially when someone has us over for dinner! These days most people search Google for recipes or look to some…
The big day is almost here. You know what I’m talking about – T-Day, Turkey Day, Thanksgiving! This is by far my favorite holiday and this year I’m hosting it. I must say, I’m a little overwhelmed at this prospect since the past few months have been the craziest I can remember – what with 10 1/2 month old twins…
Hope you had a great weekend! Ours was fun with some visits from friends and family, bagel and lox brunch on Saturday, and a birthday celebration for my brother and sister-in-law Sunday night. Getting ready to head out to Fairway for my weekly grocery shop. Hopefully I won’t be in the supermarket every day like I was last week after…
Iced Orange-Cranberry Biscotti are a delicious dairy-free dessert that’s easy to make and elegant to serve. A great homemade gift to bring to a friend’s house for brunch or to wrap as a holiday gift. Biscotti, or as I grew up calling it and it’s known in the Jewish tradition, mandel bread, looks so fancy, but is shockingly easy to make….

We interrupt this week’s discussion of fat for today’s nutritioulicious™ Wednesday Wonders! Q: Hi nutritioulicious™! I was recently at brunch with friends and ate more carbs than I normally do in one meal. Between my bagel with lox, noodle pudding, and a cupcake I felt like I had all my carbohydrate servings for the day! I normally try to balance…
