Being the Hallmark afficionado that I am, I am definitely a fan of the daily show Home & Family. Even though I don 't consistently have the opportunity to watch all the segments every single day, there are some names embedded in my memory and various segments that are genuinely memorable. And "Renegade Kitchen" is decidedly one of those. Then again, I am the cook in my household, and it is something I have continuously enjoyed doing for my family and friends. Recently, I caught up with Dan…

When I was younger I never imagine that I would one day open my own Food truck. I had always loved to cook as a kid, I would stand in the kitchen and watch my mother cook. It was almost like she was making magic happen with food. All the great smells that ran through the house during the holidays was a joy, just to know that I would be filling my stomach with magic that my mom prepared, was always a great feeling. Once I started to be a teenager, I loved watching food shows. Back then in the…

Mary Berry Quotes states, "I think baking is very rewarding, and if you follow a good recipe, you will get success." I consider myself to be not so bad at baking. But one thing I can never seem to manage to make is pannukakku, which is Finnish pancakes. What makes this so much worse is that I'm Finnish. A Finnish girl who can't manage to make a Finnish dish. A dish that has made by many generations before me. A family recipe that I can't make. One time I was feeling nostalgic and wanted to make…

A sizzling pan is pictured as we hear, “This is drugs. This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?” The egg is cracked and cooks over the heat. This commercial has been etched in my memory since childhood. The issue of legalizing drugs has been debated even longer. Gore Vidal wrote his article “Drugs: Case for Legalizing Marijuana” in The New York Times in 1970, a full 17 years before the aforementioned commercial hit the television airwaves. Vidal’s piece was ahead of its time, but still…

First stop, Willy’s Pincho! So, what is a Pincho? Well, simply put it is meat on a stick that is grilled over charcoal, Puerto Rican-style (not to be confused with a Kebab) usually served with a side of Pan Sobao (sweet bread) and homemade hot sauce.
