What does a food/cocktail blogger do for fun in Mammoth? As you would guess, not much. The mountain resort town is a far cry from the destination spot for good food and well-made cocktails. I found this out on a Mammoth trip this past weekend with a bunch of my blogger friends. While the Village…

Ferget chocolates. I don’t know about you but nothing says “olive juice”(mouth it) like a custom-made cocktail. But out of curiosity, I asked some of L.A.’s top mixologists/bartenders what they consider to be the most romantic cocktail; specifically what would they serve their luh-vuh.

The Nommiest Dessert: Joan's on Third's Nutella Poundcake
For World Nutella Day last week, Joan’s on Third made the yummiest poundcake I ever heard of: Nutella poundcake. Why didn’t anyone tell me that such a thing of beauty existed? Luckily I found out from Nastassia of Let Me Eat Cake, who happens to work at Joan’s and who was good enough to save…
Medical Marijuana Edibles Photo Gallery

Just last year I started my first ever holiday dessert exchange for me and my friends where we each bring over a dessert and recipe to share with everyone. At this intimate gathering, after we drink cocktails and nosh on savories we stand around the table ladened with all these incredible homemade desserts and go…
Eat My Blog Blogger Bake Sale a $3,000 Success
I had arrived too late! The Eat My Blog bake sale at Zeke’s Smokehouse in West Hollywood was scheduled to last from 10am to 4pm and I figured that if I got there around noon I’d still be able to get some of that bacon brownie goodness with bourbon caramel sauce that I kept reading…
