Fine Writing Calligraphy is a fine art. Some of the most visually appealing and visually stunning text utilizes the art of calligraphy. Many years ago, I bought my first calligraphy pen. I never once used it for its intended purpose and eventually, I tossed it because I hadn’t used it in years. Fast forward at…

Pizza Perfect!
Is there any food out there more delicious than pizza and diverse than pizza? The answer is unequivocally, “NO!” Recently I took a class on how to make “Perfect Pizza at Home.” In this class, I learned how to make pizza dough from scratch and I learned 3 different pizza concoctions that were absolutely amaze-balls….
Mmm, Yummy Coconut Cupcake
When I was a little girl, one of my favorite things to do was spend time in the kitchen with my mom when she was baking a cake. I loved licking the bowl clean after she finished. Although she used a family recipe, which was a jazzed up version of boxed cake mix with canned…

Wings and Things
I LOVE meat. Vegetarians at this point, you might want to look away because this week, it’s all about meat. Two of my favorite kinds of meat are chicken wings (preferably fried or as hot wings) and ribs (short rib, baby-back or spareribs). I could and would eat wings and ribs everyday if I wasn’t…
Hidden Gem: Ferragosto Festival in the “Little Italy” of the Bronx
I’ve lived in New York City my entire life and I am still amazed at how this City continuously surprises me. This is a tale about a little neighborhood in a borough that could easily be overlooked by the average New Yorker and by tourists. The borough is the Bronx and the neighborhood is called…
Sweet Bite: So Pretty and So Tasty
The route to yummy usually begins in one of two ways: either by sight or by smell. In some cases, both sight and smell play a role in the journey to yummy-ville. Lately, I’ve been thinking about packaging and how it can increase the delightful reception of baked goods. Recently I made chocolate chip brownies…
