Need to Know What Carminic Acid is? There’s an App For That!

I became a vegetarian years ago because of my love for all living things.  It wasn’t until just this last year that I started eating organic foods and really trying to learn what’s in the foods I eat.  Months after starting this journey I’m focusing more on natural foods and less on processed.
Why are processed [...]

A Gourmet Valentine’s Day from PartyLite

Every year Valentine’s Day is always different for my husband and I.  And I hate to say it, but it usually depends on our luck in acquiring a babysitter for the evening.  The only thing that remains the same is that we always eat something really great, whether we get to go out or if [...]

Pink & Posh Goes Pop!

A little while back, I professed my love for all types of snacks, healthy snacks since I am trying to poshify my figure.  Soon after I listed my favorite healthy snack alternatives I was introduced to Pop Chips, a 100-calorie “popped” potato snack. I really should go back and add Pop Chips to my list [...]

Ola Loa: Drink Your Vitamins

The setting: It was a busy NYC morning with noises coming at me from every angle. I had to meet with Jerry Burt, the Director of Sales from Ola Loa, and my friend Susan from the PR firm that represents them. Due to a bad middle ear infection, I had absolutely no hearing in my right ear. It was [...]

Yoplait Delights 100 Calorie Parfait Review

My intentions were really good with this review, I was planning on having an award-winning video review that Yoplait would love and want to share with millions of people.

Zebra Mix – REVIEW

Since I love to cook, so do my children. In fact my 2 year old son helped me scramble his eggs just this morning. (that was fun! LOL) Our favorite thing to do together is bake. There are so many ingredients that it is easy to share the responsibilities among the 3 of us. I [...]

Fasta Pasta Cooker – REVIEW

My family LOVES pasta. I am always wanting to try new Italian recipes to learn new techniques and flavors. The only problem is that with my crazy-busy life, I barely have time to make plain ‘ole spaghetti, much less a million layer lasagna, or a tasty manicotti. So when I was asked to review the [...]

Romano’s Macaroni Grill – GIVEAWAY

Living in a very rural area has it perks as far as privacy and peace. But when it comes to eating out, we have to make serious plans as it takes at least 20 minutes to get to a decent restaurant, and 45 minutes to any of my favorites. One of my favorites is Romano’s [...]

My Fav Fav Fav Cocktail!

While eating dinner tonight, my daughter asked if we could have a Valentine’s Day party. I thought about it for a minute and decided that since my husband is out of town on business (thus not reading my posts this week…) that it would be so cute for him to come home to a house [...]
