My favorite soup on a cold winter day or when I have a cold (as I have these past few days) has always been chicken noodle. That is until I had a cup of Chicken Pot Pie Soup from Soup Thyme in Monroe. Imagine all the ingredients in a chicken pot pie now in a […]
MoreAs often as we ask ourselves the question, “Where should we go to eat?”, we also find ourselves asking “What should we do this weekend?” I saw Café Atlantique’s Facebook post about their wine tasting event at the end of March and I immediately knew what we were doing – we were going wine tasting!

MoreEverywhere I look lately I’m seeing beignets – on a dessert menu at a restaurant where I’d least expect to see them, on the Cooking Channel (do I watch it too much or is it food blogger research?), and on Pinterest. I haven’t had beignets in YEARS. I think the last time I had them was at the […]
MoreWhen I saw this picture online I instantly knew that I not only had to share it, but I also had to write about it. Why? When I’m in the classroom I’m front and center and fully aware that what I say and do is having a direct effect on my students. Dare I say, […]

MoreEver have really ripe bananas around and not sure what to do with them? People have been telling me that ripe bananas are perfect for banana bread, and tonight I had the perfect combination of a couple of very ripe bananas and the time to try my hand at making banana bread. I found this […]

Dishcrawl helps you explore your neighborFOOD (so clever, I love it. Check out their main site here). How does it work? In one evening you experience specialty dishes […]
