2015 in Review: Top Food Crazes

2015 saw lots of “cool” terms and the rise of a number of food trends. The top ones included: “locally sourced” – if it wasn’t local or nearby apparently it was no good…. kale – it was in almost everything you ate…for the earlier part of the year pomegranate – one of the super foods outsourced grocery shopping – we are a nation of conveniences so the idea of ordering food that could be delivered in the right portion size was awesome sauce!

Using My Birthday Gift For The Holidays

Y’all know I got a crock pot (aka slow cooker) for my birthday right? My sister got me a fancy one from Cuisinart and I’ve been doing “lazy cooking” now for almost two full months. I got an email from PureWow and now my entire family will be regaled with how far I’ve pushed the limits of my crockpot skills! Head to PureWow to get 10 cocktails you can make with a crock pot!

Travel Too….Vietnam: Let’s Talk Fa-la-la-la-la Vietnamese Pho

Pho, pronounced “fa” or “fuh”, is a traditional Vietnamese soup with flavorful garnishes. I had it as part of just about every meal while in Vietnam and I’m now a fan (wink, wink Maggy)! It’s traditionally made with beef but chicken or pork can work too. Try it, be amazed and…it’s healthy!

I don’t know a thing about whiskey….but it’s stylish (& a bit sexy) to be able to order it right! All bourbons, scotches and ryes are whiskey Not all whiskeys are bourbon, scotch or rye Bourbon is corn-based Scotch is made from barley and hops Rye is made from rye (duh!)

Look For Looser Clothes To Fit Your Mac N’ Cheese

This has very little to do with style….other than I consider myself to be stylish and I love macaroni and cheese! I found an article in Conde Nast about the best mac n’ cheese dishes and had to share with you {who likes getting fat alone?}. Funny thing is – I’ve tried the DC and San Francisco spots and I loved the Mission Cheese dish….still not sure how CapMac made the list. Check out the other locations (here) and report
