Pizza is by far the number one food served for a Super Bowl Party. You could order out for it, but you may not know what everyone wants on their pizza. And it’s cold by the time you go for seconds. Here’s a way to create a pizza buffet without keeping the oven on […]
Recipe testing is one of the most important - and really fun - things we do as Personal Chefs. You could say we’re food explorers. We scan through many different food magazines (Gourmet, Fine Cooking, Bon Appetit, Cooking Light, Cook’s Illustrated, Cook’s Country), cookbooks, and Web sites (The Food Network, Recipezaar, Epicurious) always looking out […]
That time of year is here football fans. The playoffs are almost finished and the Superbowl is right around the corner.
What are you eating for your Football Party or Superbowl Party?
Do you like traditional Football Party snacks (Buffalo Wings, chips, dips, hot dogs, burgers, pizza) or crave something a little different that you […]
Helloooo Salad! As Norton from the Honeymooners would say if he were addressing his salad instead of a baseball. We always fall back on the tried and true salad to cut back on our calories and fat when we’re looking to drop a few pounds. Besides, a big hearty salad tastes really good every […]
It’s cold and snowy outside. The wind chill is giving your goose bumps, goose bumps. You CRAVE soup! Soups are some of the most wonderful dishes to enjoy. They’re delicious, filling, and usually inexpensive to make. But they are time consuming to make as well.

Regular Mayonnaise has 11g fat, 1.5g saturated fat, 10mg cholesterol and […]
So why do millions of folks throughout the world turn to commercial diet systems to prepare and package their food? There is very little science to what NutriSystem, Jenny Craig, The Zone Diet and Weight Watchers do. They measure quantities and package it up. Yes, some measure the glycemic index, calorie levels, etc., etc. […]
This post we look at what Jenny Craig has to offer the folks who want to lose weight using a commercial diet system.
Compared to NutriSystem, the biggest difference between programs is that Jenny Craig comes with different levels of counseling and support which you get to choose depending on how much money you want […]
The reality is commercial diet systems like NutriSystem, Jenny Craig and The Zone Diet want you to become dependent upon their food. This is how they make money. So, you decide to make the leap thinking that 12-18 dollars per day for food isn’t that bad. This sounds inexpensive until you add in the fact […]
Terrible words, The Diet. Yet, its the most popular New Year’s Eve Resolution - and the one most likely not to succeed. We try and we fail. Why, most likely because we need to plan better. Meal planning is one of the more challenging things to do when you’re living a hectic life. When […]
