Pudge’s Philly Cheesesteaks

Pudge’s Philly Cheesesteaks

It’s all about Pudge’s in Blue Bell, PA. Come hungry because a couple of “large” sized sandwiches could feed a small village with a foot and a half of juicy chopped ribeye piled high on fresh Italian bread that tastes like it was just baked that day.

Mom’s Asparagus Almondine, a Toddler’s Love for Shark’s Fin Soup, and More from Christmas Eve

Incredibly easy to make, this dish is great if you find healthy, fresh, asparagus spears. One of the many dishes at our Christmas Eve dinner back at home!

State Line Diner: What it means to be from Jerz

No matter how far I stray, there will always be love for the dirty jerz. And there will always be room in my stomach for some dinerage – even if I literally just had dinner an hour ago. Plus the how-to on eating cheese fries.

Sushi Zone: A Neighborhood Gem

With lines out the door, Sushi Zone is no neighborhood secret, but it sure is a gem. This charming little sushi joint has been serving up exceptionally fresh sushi and other delightful morsels for almost eleven years: Sushi, sashimi, and baked bits of deliciousness!

Baked Sea Bass and Mango on a Half Shell

Inspired by this delicious appetizer at Sushi Zone, I went on a mission to recreate it. Although Sushi Zone’s is still admittedly better (must be all that fresh sashimi-grade fish they use)…this is a good do-at-home alternative.

Tis the Season for Dinner Party Fun (Part I)

There is nothing like a good excuse to have a dinner party, especially with the busyness of the season. Now, when I decided to throw this little party, I knew I wanted to feature seasonal ingredients that would make for a warm, cozy, winter dinner. And of course, I wanted some wow factor!
