Sunday dinner has always been important for my family. It’s he day when we take time out of our busy lives to share a meal and catch up on events in eachother’s lives. If I’m not playing hockey on a Sunday, I can count on being at either my parent’s house or Ben’s for dinner. My parents seem to … Continue reading »
When Ben and I started talking about our East Coast Roadie, I started plotting our destinations on a map. What I realized very quickly was that along our route was a very special restaurant, one that I’ve been thinking about for a while now. I put my nose to the grind stone and worked my … Continue reading »
As I write this post, I am watching Hurricane Sandy wreaking havoc on New York in the background. So many of the images I see on tv are of the same sights I visited 2 weeks ago. It feels very surreal… The amount of holidays I take is a common joke amongst my friends. But … Continue reading »
I don’t like leftovers. There are some exceptions to that statement, but for the most part, I loathe going back to the fridge/freezer to take out something I’ve made previously to have another meal of it.

I went out for after work drinks with a friend on a cold evening in January. So cold and icy in fact that I ditched my car at home, was picked up so I didn’t have to worry about how much I would imbibe for the evening. I craved some beer, but didn’t feel like … Continue reading »
I felt a lot of pressure to eat well for my birthday this year. Looking back I think that’s kind of funny because as you can probably tell from my posts, I eat well almost every meal, but on my birthday I felt like people were expecting me to step it up a notch. I … Continue reading »
One of the traits that I got from my father is my need for plans and to live by a schedule. I like to say that I like surprises, but just need to know about them in advance. When I prepare for a trip, I map out my food destinations and have back-up and back-up … Continue reading »
This is Call Me A Food Lover’s 100th post. A cause for celebration, especially since my 1 year Blogiversary came and went without me noticing. I have a very wise uncle who gave me a great piece of life advice, telling me “life will pass you by if you let it, so recognize the milestones … Continue reading »
I am a lucky girl. Some call it spoiled, but I like to think that I take advantage of fantastic opportunities when they are presented to me. It’s with that mind-set that I’ve found myself back in New York for the 3rd year in a row. This time around, I had great intentions of not … Continue reading »
