Just in time for the wedding, I've lost 51 pounds total! Dan is looking good too; he's lost 18 pounds total. We began losing weight in April 2009, so it's been just a little over a year. Dan hasn't really been trying to lose weight like I have...
We shared our favorite sweets and beverages with our closest family and friends at on our wedding day. Dinner was delicious too, but it was just the best choice our caterer offered and not something special to us. The facility that hosted our...
Evelina, my best friend (who is staying with us during the week prior and up to the wedding), mentioned that her favorite dessert is chocolate covered rice crispy treats. The only place I know to get those is The Melting Pot and as it turns out...
After an hour and a half of rehearsing for the wedding, we came back to our house for dinner. We figured it'd be a hole lot more inexpensive, relaxed, and enjoyable to do it at home rather than at a busy restaurant. Ambrogio prepared two trays of...

Andrea of EatingWithAndrea.com invited us over for dinner for the 4th of July. She made hamburgers (stuffed with cheddar cheese and bacon), hot dogs, and shish kebab which was served with a roasted corn dish. For dessert she had red velvet cupcakes...
When we're in a hurry and we're at or near WholeFoods, I like to pick up a to-go container of sushi. Today I chose tuna because it was so red and fresh looking I couldn't resist. It was absolutely delicious. Gaetano had a Volcano Roll, which I...
The meat we bought was used to make EatingWell's Herb-Coated Fillet Mignon, only we used center-cut sirloin instead. We actually prefer the sirloin to the fillet mignon for this recipe. It turned out really tender and if I didn't know any better,...
Ever since we watched Food Inc., we've been buying our meat at WholeFoods. One particular cut we buy a lot is the Top Sirloin Center Steak for only $4.99 a piece. It's a really thick piece, so we split it in half and get two pieces out of each....
