I realize that for some this whole Woman Crush Wednesday means something all together different than how I interpret it. But to each his/her own. For me this day is a chance to shine the light on a female chef creating some fabulousness in the culinary world. The truth is that even having to say “female” chef is indicative of the fact that when you hear the word chef you think of a man. While most of the Michelin star chefs are indeed men, I have taken this day to create a whole LOVE fest for a fabulous female foodie. I am excited to announce the 88th Woman Crush Wednesday honoree is the gorgeous gourmet gal Tess Ward!

Welcome to the first Woman Crush Wednesday of the New Year! This is also the 80th fabulous female foodie recipient on this series. Since this is the week I am doing Smoothie Scentral, I needed to honor the queen of smoothies, the fantabulous Rhiana from L’Herbe Muse! Continue reading
Recipe: Smoothie Scentral
Hello to all of you including those of you who might be suffering from a “Holiday Hangover”. You know that feeling, going back to work the day after New Years with the added guilt placed upon us about our over indulgences. Well our celebrations were fun while they lasted but who says you have to go on a DIET? I for one try to avoid things with the word DIE in it! I like to LIVE it! So you won’t be getting a clean eating regimen or a workout routine from me, but I do have a little surprise. Continue reading
Recipe: Woman Crush Wednesday
Welcome back to Woman Crush Wednesday! My favorite day of the week where I choose a female chef and recreate one of her recipes live on Snapchat. And of course this here is the LOVE story for our one and only gourmet gal! This week’s honoree is the best selling cookery book writer and world famous food blogger Deb Perelman. Her blog Smitten Kitchen has been the gold standard for food bloggers practically since its inception back in 2006. Her prolific posts of incredible sweet and savory foods have ignited flames in the hearts of home cooks from coast to coast! Continue reading
Recipe: “Free” To Be Banana Loaf
I’ve been under the weather the past few days and even missed my Woman Crush Wednesday cooking tutorial. The first time illness has gotten in the way of my fav day! But luckily today I had just enough energy to bake a banana loaf. And I decided to make it a “free from” variety. No sugar, eggs or dairy. Now it still has gluten, but there’s a reason why!

Recipe: I Donut Think You Can Pass This Up!
It is no secret our family has a love affair with donuts! I mean who doesn’t? We scour the globe getting them everywhere we can to compare and contrast. I’ve taken my Snapchat friends on several Foodie Fieldtrip Friday outings to donut shops. I gave Snapchat headquarters custom donuts that spelled out Snapchat! I even dressed as a donut for Halloween this year! While the majority in our family prefer the “cake” variety, there are others in the “yeast” donut camp. There are whole debates in food journalism on this subject! In fact, people even argue on how to spell donuts (or doughnuts)! Whatever type you favor, or how you choose to spell them, you will love making these bite sized treats in your own home. Continue reading
