My sister Alexa and I had our birthday last week so my mom and I were thinking of where to have dinner to celebrate our special day. After coming up with a list of restaurants, I remembered that I recently received some Uncle Cheffy gift certificates after I attended an event. Because we didn’t want to …
It’s Valentine’s Day — a time for flowers, chocolates, sweet notes, and of course, kisses! Speaking of kisses, you probably know what a French kiss is. But have you ever had a Spanish kiss?

How was your New Year’s Eve? Mine started with a bang… and not in a good way, unfortunately. While the whole world was celebrating and counting down to 2014, I was spending that climacteric arguing with someone who was close to me. Our voices were loud, just like the blasting firecrackers and our words were …
