MoreBrunch. Just the word gets me excited. Why do I love brunch so much? Brunch is a perfect combination of breakfast and lunch. Brunch is champagne for breakfast, I mean mimosas, brunch is mimosas for breakfast. Oh, or bloody marys if you prefer. Brunch is my favorite meal of the day – breakfast – served […]
MoreI had never heard of this sweet spread until our recent visit to Caroline’s Creperie when my husband ordered a crepe with cinnamon cookie spread inside, also called speculoos or…BISCOFF. That’s it, just Biscoff. But once you eat Biscoff you know that it’s all you need. Meet my new food obsession! I don’t know where […]
MoreMy new food obsession this week is…..(drumroll, please)…. yogurt covered pretzels and peanuts I’m sure you’ve all heard of yogurt covered raisins and pretzels. They’re easy to find in most grocery stores. But have you ever had yogurt covered peanuts? Yup, yogurt covered peanuts. They are quite addictive. What I like about yougurt covered peanuts, […]
MoreDespite the flurries of snow today, spring is HERE! And what better way to kick winter to the curb and welcome spring then with a visit for froyo at 16 Handles in Fairfield?!

Have you ever had food so good that it rendered […]
MoreI like martinis. Not the standard dirty martini; I prefer the unique concoctions bartenders shake or stir: appletinis, chocotinis, french martinis (more on my love of french martinis in this post). And then a few months back Flipside Burger in Fairfield was recommended by a friend, and I discovered the Grinchtini. Think…a thinmint cookie that […]
MoreEnvision a moist chocolate cake cupcake, the kind you think about when you are craving a piece of chocolate cake. Now fill the center with peanut butter frosting filling, and cover the top with half peanut butter and half chocolate frosting surrounded by a halo of peanut butter chips. Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? Say hello […]
MoreShaken, stirred, it doesn’t matter to me as long as I’m having a French martini at Molto Wine Bar in Fairfield. I’m not a fan of dirty martinis, I prefer the sweet versions when I’m drinking martinis (no, not for all drinks, just martinis really). And yes, the wine selection at Molto Wine Bar is extensive and their food […]
