On Mondays I usually post a recipe that has been enjoyed at our house in the last few weeks. Today I decided to do something different and recognize a special event that is helping a good cause.
Tomorrow IHOP is giving away pancakes. By pancakes, I don't mean a single pancake that will accompany the rest of your meal. IHOP is giving away stacks of their buttermilk pancakes to any diner on Tuesday, February 5th from 7 am to 10 pm. In return for the free pancakes, IHOP is hoping that their customers will make a donation to the Children's
Sun BBQ Fest

As you are enjoying the last day of this three-day weekend, you probably aren't beginning to consider what to do with next weekend yet. However, if you live anywhere in the Northeast and enjoy food, music, and fun, you might want to clear your calendar. (Those of you who live outside the Northeast, feel free to clear your calendars also, it just will require some travel.)
Next weekend Mohegan Sun, located in southeastern Connecticut, will be hosting its first annual Sun BBQ Fest. This three-day extravaganza will feature some of the best barbecue in the US, along with a multitude

Organic Volcano Lemon Burst and Lime Burst

In my role, I receive many offers to sample products. These products range from obvious items that aren't of interest to items that would be interesting to try to items whose arrival is counted by the minute. About a month ago, I received an email offering to send Organic Volcano Lemon Burst and Lime Burst. These two products fell into the middle category: worthy of my time but nothing that had me awaiting the mailman at the door.
When the package arrived, I noted the typical plastic packaging, shaped and colored appropriately for each flavor. I placed both of them

Boston Olive Oil Company
by TT April 6th, 2011 | Food News
A recent weekend was spent in Boston, celebrating my husband's birthday. Although Boston is only an hour away from our home, it was quite delightful to have two whole days to explore different venues. One of those venues was Newbury Street, which is home to numerous high-end shops, one of a kind boutiques, and wonderful restaurants.

Popcorn Palace
by TT March 31st, 2011 | Food News
I am not a popcorn fanatic. Of course, maybe that's because there are so many poorly done types of popcorn available. I don't eat popcorn at the movies, though most of my family and many of my friends adore it. Popcorn covered in "butter flavored oil" just seems nasty.
