I mentioned the other day that I seem to have a bit of a control issue when it comes to magazines and the winter holiday season.  I think that it’s the part cookbook and part gift guide that attracts me so.  I’ve also mentioned my love of cookbooks in the past. This week, my two loves [...]

Starbucks’ cranberry bliss bars and peppermint mochas.  Booyah! Now if only we could get Starbucks to make the dark cherry mocha I had in Dublin last year available here.  Man, that was good. If you want to try making the cranberry bliss bars yourself, there are plenty of copycat recipes online (here’s one here).  I haven’t tried [...]

I first noticed these baking classes back in May or so.  At that time, I couldn’t even consider baking in our apartment (or any time between April and October due to the crazy heat and lousy air conditioning). But i kept their info close by because it all just all sounds SO DARN GOOD! Bread [...]

And no, I’m not talking Christmas.  Nope, I’m talking cooking! Winter cooking (you know, the only time I can actually cook). Better still, holiday cooking. Any other time of the year, I can walk away from magazine; cooking, entertaining, decorating, womens, you name it.  But as soon as the “holiday” features start to show up on the [...]

NORMS is turning 60 this year! And to celebrate, they’re giving away $60 worth of food to one lucky My LA Blog reader. That’s a whole lotta late night grub!! I mean where else can you get a steak dinner (plus two sides), a salad, soup AND a dessert for $9.99 in LA??? When I first moved here [...]

Here’s what I notice… When you don’t eat regular, American chocolate for a while and then eat it…it tastes like shit compared to European chocolate. BUT… If you keep eating those Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups you’ll eventually start to swear they’re the best thing ever created. Why is that? PS – did you know that they actually make a perfume [...]

I received the following LA special event in my mailbox today.  While I won’t be attending, there’s no need not to share it.  Hope you can make it and enjoy your bigger, better burger! By now you’ve probably already seen the commercials for McDonald’s new Angus burgers – smaller, more expensive, and cheap imitations of [...]

Earlier this week, I mentioned the awesome Got Milk? event at BLD and their delicious (and sometimes odd) milkshakes. At that time, I wasn’t able to share the killer Caramel Tequila Milkshake.  Lucky for you, the Got Milk? gals took pity on me and tracked it down!! This tasty concoction was created by BLD Restaurant Chef [...]

Then how about a salted caramel milkshake? “Milk is not only a healthy beverage, it’s also the basis for many fun drinks like milkshakes. Drinking a milkshake brings out the kid in everyone, but each flavor highlights a person’s personality.” ~ Chef Mariah Swan You know, there’s just something bliss-like about attending a party with milkshake [...]
