The month of May is coming up soon… just a few days away.  It has always been my favorite month of the year.  Both my husband and I celebrate our Birthday’s in May.  I try to do something simple yet special for my hubbie every year… and this year will be no exception. Normally we [...]

A while back we did a post on the best sushi in the Cleveland area.  There’s a few restaurants I tried, Sushi Rock in Beachwood and Sumo Boy in Mentor.  Both have pretty good sushi, but… I’ve found a really awesome little restaurant thanks to my friends, that has some of the best sushi EVER.  [...]

So we’ve just gotten through the Easter holiday.  Some of us are still full from all the food we ate … but that could be a whole other post.  I have come to enjoy the many traditions of the Easter season.   Some of the most common are the fun Easter basket, full of candy, chocolates, [...]

I love Garlic!  Everything I cook has a little bit of garlic in it.  Minced, chopped, sliced… any way that it will best fit the dish.  Growing up my mom normally used the garlic powder or garlic salt. When I first got married, my mother-in-law introduced me to fresh garlic.    After we would get home [...]

OMG!! (For those of you that may not be into instant messaging or texting or twittering, that means ‘oh my god’.)   If you haven’t been to Maggiano’s Little Italy in the Beachwood Mall YOU HAVE TO GO AND EAT THERE!  Let me stress that again – GO EAT THERE! So of course you as me [...]

Who doesn’t love Peanut Butter?   If you’ve followed my previous posts, you’ll know that I grew up in Venezuela.  Now in the early 90’s it was hard to find a lot of American imported foods, but we were lucky enough to have peanut butter available in the local grocery store.  Most people when think of [...]
