Challah Bread French Toast
I love french toast! I love even more when it is made out of challah bread. Growing up, my dad would make challah bread french toast for breakfast on the weekends. I have now taken it to the next level, add yogurt, fried bannanas and strawberries to the top. Finish it with a sprinkle of...

After Valentines Day I always have a sugar coma. There seems to be mountains of candy, cakes, and other sweets. To make myself feel better, I made turkey burgers last night for dinner.

Game Worth Watching

Killer Show
I have to admit my new obsession is the show Dexter. I do not have SHOWTIME so I have to wait until the seasons come out on DVD in order to see them. Dexter is my favorite crime show because I cannot guess what is going to happen next. I feel like with a lot...
Healthy Snacks
For most of us, returning to school means returning to a busy schedule. That leaves little time for eating healthy. It is easier to grab something that is fast while on the go, than planning a meal a head of time. A great way to help prevent all your meals from being on the go...
