Shrimp Pad Thai is one of my favorite Asian dishes and just to think I hadn’t tasted it until a little over a year ago makes me think I sure was missing out! There are many different versions of Pad Thai out there from chicken to shrimp or with egg or without, etc. etc. etc….
I enjoy making dinner, but some nights you want to be able to whip something up quickly with little work. The Orange Chicken from Trader Joe’s is one of my favorite easy go-to dinners. The best thing is that it only consists of 3 items: TJ’s Orange Chicken, broccoli, and brown rice. Even better it…
It was my girlfriend Stacy’s birthday last week so we celebrated this past Saturday night. I knew I had to make her some kind of treat since she has a sweet-tooth. I remembered back in the college days she always enjoyed the Funfetti cake for celebrations (we are old college roommates). I knew if I…
Who doesn’t like guacamole? For some reason I told myself I didn’t like it for years, until I finally tasted it at my sister’s apartment in college. Yes-I still remember it, because it was that good! How did I never try this fresh green delicious dip ever before. My favorite way to eat it is…

Hope everyone had a great weekend! We had a wide open weekend (rare thing) so Saturday we decided to do fondue. We did the whole process from starting with the cheese to the main course of veggies and meats and ended with the chocolate. Since we had three courses of food to enjoy we decided…
Happy Friday everyone! I thought since it’s the weekend I would share my current favorite Trader Joe’s wines with you. If you didn’t already know Trader Joe’s is an excellent place to get cheap, but good wine (at least in my opinion). I don’t have anything on the agenda this weekend so see if you…
Is anyone as obsessed with goat cheese lately as I am? I just can’t get enough, and the reality is the fat and calorie content isn’t as bad as other cheeses. This recipe is one I can’t wait to make every fall and since I have been on my goat cheese addiction lately I decided…
