Roso Balsamic Glaze

Posted on December 16, 2014 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: balsamic vinegar, Roso Balsamic Glaze, Uncle Steve's Italian Specialties | 2 Comments

I love a good cheese plate. While my husband & daughter can happily munch on sweets at a party or family gathering, you can always find me over by the cheese & crackers! During the holiday season, the easiest thing for me to bring to any get-together is an assortment of cheeses, meats (prosciutto, salami, etc.), olives, crackers & bread (cut into small "finger food" pieces). I'll even make a small plate for myself as an afternoon … [Read more...]

My family loves Mexican food. My husband tends to favor tacos or burritos, while I am always down for a good chile relleno, tacos or enchiladas. My daughter is happy as long as there is a cheese quesadilla on the menu & an endless supply of tortilla chips. Recently my daughter & I took a quick trip (just 15-20 minutes north from where we live) to try out solita Tacos in Valencia. It’s located at the Valencia Town Center which is the … [Read more...]

Ruby Ribbon Shapewear Hugs in All the Right Places

Posted on December 4, 2014 | Filed Under: Mommy Stuff | Tags: personal styling session, Ruby Ribbon, shapewear | 6 Comments

Everyone knows that you can’t build a house without the right foundation. The same principal applies to wearing a great outfit. Seeing my weight fluctuate over the years (especially after having a child), I’ve realized that wearing shapewear is essential for certain outfits. Now we’ve all heard of that one brand, you know, the one that rhymes with “franks.” A few years ago, I wore a shapewear item from that company & the compression was so … [Read more...]
