Holiday Cookies

Filed Under: Food, O Magazine, Recipeson December 18th, 2011

I’m not sure why cookies become so popular during the Christmas season, but I’m not complaining. Give them away as gifts, throw a cookie exchange party, or eat them yourself. Last weekend, I had the pleasure of attending my girlfriend’s cookie exchange party. Funny thing was, I didn’t bring cookies … I brought olives. Odd, I know, but since I was an out-of-town guest, I figured a little salty to counterbalance the sweets would be good.


Here are some of my favorite cookies and the recipes; Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, Peanut Butter Cookies, and Gingersnaps. If you’re looking for something a little more festive, check out the cookies I tested for O Magazine’s December 2011 issue, these Peppermint Stick cookies are delicious and beautiful.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Last weekend was my 25th birthday, so from early on in life, I was a “December Baby.” Here’s a recipe I tested for O Magazine that’s perfect for your next holiday party, Cat Cora’s Party Mix. It’s also a great gift for friends and colleagues!

Cookie a Day, Keeps the Stress Away

Filed Under: About me, O Magazine, Recipeson September 27th, 2011

I’m stressed. Saying those words alone is hard for me. I hate admitting when I’m frazzled, because not only does that give people the sense that I’m “not together” but it makes me less fun in general. Party right?

In an effort to be less stressed today and this week, I’m sharing an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie I tested for O Magazine. Ironic. I’m talking about de-stressing when referring to an Oprah recipe. I don’t think Oprah (or Dr. Oz, oh jeez, I’m using cookies as therapy) would be happy with me right now, after all, indulging in her magazine is one of my stress releases. That, and baking.

Happy Tuesday foggy New York, you ain’t getting me down.

Breakfast Pizza

Filed Under: Food, O Magazine, Recipe Contributions, Recipes, Restaurant, Workon August 24th, 2011

I’m a sucker for pizza. Anything Italian actually. And a Jersey guy? Well that’s just icing on the cake. Top Chef Mike Isabella recently opened a restaurant in DC (a city I make frequent trips to) called Graffiato … where I hear they have bubbles on tap.


Tapped Prosecco is the new beer, you heard it from me first.

Here’s a recipe I tested for Chef Isabella’s Bacon, Eggs, and Cheddar Pizza featured now in September’s O Magazine. Breakfast pizza at its best.

Sunday Brunch

Filed Under: O Magazine, Recipe Contributions, Recipeson April 24th, 2011

Happy Easter!

What are you eating today? Never too late to get baking. This is a wonderful adaptation of a Dorie Greenspan recipe from O Magazine that I tested and can be seen below or online in the O Magazine article, “Bonding Through Baking: A Community Connects Over Dorie Greenspan’s Cookbook.”

I also tested several other recipes in this series and will be featuring them whenever I feel the blog community needs something a little sweet.
