Delicious Neapolitan Pizza from #MidiCi in Sherman Oaks!

Posted on November 20, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Italian food San Fernando Valley, MidiCi, Sherman Oaks Italian restaurant | 2 Comments

Last month I had the pleasure of trying out a new restaurant called MidiCi. It is located in Sherman Oaks on Ventura Blvd & has been open since June 2015. Both the outside & inside are quite charming. I just love the saying that they have painted on the outside wall that faces Cedros Avenue. At MidiCi, they make Neapolitan pizza with only the freshest, most natural ingredients that are GMO-free. For friends who have a gluten … [Read more...]

#VictoriaFineFoods Review + Pasta with Tomato Basil Chicken {Recipe}

Posted on November 18, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: pasta recipe, Pasta with Tomato Basil Chicken, Victoria Fine Foods | 5 Comments

The following post is sponsored by Victoria Fine Foods. All opinions are 100% my own. How often do you cook pasta? If you cook it weekly, then you are probably like me & always searching for new recipes or variations of a classic standby to try out. Sure the ingredients make a difference in what you throw in with the pasta, but often times by changing up the pasta sauce, it will bring a whole new flavor into the mix! Over the past few … [Read more...]

As you can imagine, our DVD bookshelf has a wide selection of holiday movies. It's so fun to get cozy on the couch with our mugs of hot chocolate or hot … [Read more...]
