Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 Food Prices are Rising - Tips to Outsmart the Register
[Apr. 17, 2008] With food prices on the dramatic rise, consumers need to get creative on how to reduce their bills while still leaving the store with food for a week. My grovery bill used to hit nearly $300 per week. Thanks to some store savvy strategies, we have (and you can too!) cut the bill in half! Here are some tips to make this possible.
I’ll Have a Gym and Colonic with a Twist of Lime
[Mar. 4, 2008] Have you stuck to your New Year’s Resolutions? By February most people are off the wagon. Me? I’m going strong with my resolutions. I wanted to work out more, cleanse my body and eat healthier foods. Let’s start with the gym. I started teaching a yoga class to force me to go. I’m the type of gal that needs someone to pay me to workout, so for $25 an hour, I do downward dogs, bridge lifts and deep breathe with some great men and women at Namaste Yoga Studio in Wareham, Massachusetts.
Is the economy affecting our choices for food?
[Jan. 29, 2008] I read an interesting article in the December 17th issue of the New York Times. Food Network’s ratings have dropped a staggering 15% for their "In The Kitchen" weekend block of instructional cooking programs.

Food to Fall For: A Seasonal Flavor Fest
[Nov. 27, 2007] For those of you wondering what to do with all those extra fall fruits and vegetables, I have some great new ideas. Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the cool, crisp air that instantly reminds me of brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. The flavors and foods are simple, rustic and delicious.
The Thanksgiving Menu
[Oct. 30, 2007] With Thanksgiving around the corner, I have been contemplating my menu endlessly. Do I stick to traditional or do I venture outside the box and switch things up a bit? I think back to the Thanksgiving spreads my mother cooked, and she was traditional with a twist. Her stuffing had roasted chestnuts and I remember her scoring them with an X so they did not explode in the oven. I helped open them up after they baked and I adored their firm, yet soft consistency in the stuffing. My dad LOVES giblets, so on occasion my mom would include them in the stuffing. I will be the first to admit that I love giblets too. My mom was not a big fan but she did it for him and he appreciated every bite.
Feasting on a budget banquet
[Sep. 28, 2007] This month I mastered roasting chickens. I rarely roast chickens, unless I do it in my Showtime Rotisserie and roast them whole. That was my initial intention. Stop & Shop had roasting chickens on sale for sixty nine cents per pound and I sent my husband to the store to get four of them. No luck. They were out. In fact, they are still out. Rather than pay nearly four dollars a pound for boneless skinless chicken breasts, I opted for Perdue’s cut whole chicken for $1.79 per pound. It amazes me that Perdue charges one dollar and ten cents per pound more just to cut the chicken. Or are we that lazy and willing to pay that much more?
Kids Don’t Count Calories - That’s Mom’s Job
[Aug. 27, 2007] I always know when summer is over and school is about to begin. The first tell tale signs occur when the grey hairs start popping up left and right on my head, eyebrows and probably my underarms if I let the hair grow long enough. I have a few extra wrinkles around my mouth from yelling to break up fights, I look mad even when I’m not and I search the malls endlessly for a black and white striped referee outfit just to look the part.

The Culinary Adventures of Suzy Suburb: Expecting- a new addition...
[May 21, 2007] The past month has been crazy. The kitchen project is not complete, but thankfully cooking demonstrations and my pregnant sister-in-law have been able to keep my mind off the mess. I had the pleasure of cooking for the Pembroke Women’s Cooking Club this past week and I just adore these ladies.
The Culinary Adventures of Suzy Suburb: Plant them and they will grow. Maybe...
[Apr. 23, 2007] I love Spring. The birds come back to the feeders on my deck, they poop all over the patio furniture, the squirrels drive my dogs nuts, and it is time to plant my herbs indoors in preparation for another fun game of “Do They Live or Do They Die”. My first four years of indoor herb and flower planting didn’t go so well. Year one consisted of five 72 pack cells and hundreds of packets of seeds. Let’s just say, I over did it, the watering became a pain in the butt and I gave up on them.
The Culinary Adventures of Suzy Suburb: Eating Out with the New and Reinventing the Old
[Mar. 16, 2007] I finally got around to checking out New Tokyo in Plymouth. Disliked the sushi bar. Aside from the fact that there were drink glass stains on the bar, the bathroom looked like somebody was using a roll of toilet paper for pitching practice.
The Culinary Adventures of Suzy Suburb: Confessions of a Coffee Lover…
[Feb. 23, 2007] I found out something has been brewing at my brother’s house recently. My perky sister-in-law and apparently many of her friends are having an affair with the same man. Turns out my brother Steven is even in on the fun. Of course this comes as a surprise to me, and naturally I had to ask a few “urning” questions? Who is this mystery man, what makes him so special and why are so many women (and my brother) willing to share him?
The Culinary Adventures of Suzy Suburb: A Resolution to Reduce...
[Jan. 20, 2007] Food has taken me everywhere this month...and then some. First off...the stove saga. We last left off where Suzy Suburb blew out her oven three months ago. On Christmas morning, the stove took a turn for the worse. The broiler died, and I managed to smash a glass bowl containing corn cake batter into one of the burners. Down to only three burners, the oven was sending me an urgent message and I had to listen. After loads of emails offering tips (thanks to all and I apologize if some were not answered), I went in search of a super hero stove at Sears in the Independence Mall...
