Back in my days of hocking jewelry to the highest bidder, there was a small Mexican ice cream shop down the street that would often draw my attention. They were always open, always had people in, and always had a variety of flavors that sounded amazing. Sadly, I never did stop in to that small...

Being from a store where everyone knows your name (*see yesterdays post), it's easy to forget sometimes, that when you are out in public, we have clients everywhere.

Cheese steak debate, week two! This one has to be one of the loudest debates - Pat's Vs. Geno's! Everyone seems to have an opinion (well, duh, this is Philly we're talking about) but the thing is, I'm not a fan of either. I think there are many of other places that make a better...

Pesto is a delicious condiment on its own, but when you pair it with ground sirloin, you have the makings for delicious burgers! You all know I love me some burgers. I mean love.

Honey-glazed pork chops start with boneless center-cut pork. It's brushed with a spiced honey glaze and oven baked until tender. I often don't get off of work until 8, meaning dinner may not hit the table until 9 or later, so thin cut pork chops are my go-to for nights when I want something...
