Happy New Year Food Frenzy fans! I hope you all have wonderful and safe New Year’s celebration. We in my household usually watch the ball drop in Times Square and eat soba (Japanese buckwheat noodles) to ring in the New Year. It never fails, my dad is in charge of uncorking the champagne while those around him take cover. LOL! Good times! For 2013, I can’t wait to try more amazing foods from all the over as well as share perhaps favorite recipes of mine on my blog. An update for my site this year is larger photos. Keep connected and thanks for following!

Starbucks Any Day of the Week
My brother lives in San Francisco and works for an amazing company. Though it is 6 hours away, he always tries to come home for family birthday celebrations, holidays and throughout. The other weekend, he was visiting for Christmas break and he mentioned he received a $5 Starbucks giftcard from someone a while ago and it had sat in his wallet for a long time! WHAT? Who has Starbucks giftcards just sitting there, unused! Definitely not me! So when he asked if I wanted it, without hesitation, I said YES! Though I try really hard not to get my Starbucks fix too often, it is a treat when I get…

And…We Named Her Muffin!
I love dogs! I have always loved dogs and growing up with one, I know how fun and loving they can be. But then they pass away, wow, it is utterly devastating. The dog that I grew up with passed away at the age of 14. She was with us pretty much most of my life growing up. I vowed to myself that if I ever got another dog, it would be when I live in a house with a yard. When we had our dog, we had a yard and unfortunately due to my parents downsizing, we ended up in a town home with pretty much no yard. Cherry,…

Yea, I Got One Too…An iPhone 5! YAY!
If you have noticed that my photos on my food blog are WAY better than the ones I posted previously it’s because I officially got a new toy, I mean a phone! My husband bought me a new phone, an iPhone 5 to be exact. I love it. I honestly didn’t need one nor do I think I am using it to its full potential but hey, it makes my blogging so much easier and nice. I can take amazing pictures with the iPhone and “push” (computer terminology for send) the photo directly to my food blog. How cool is that! I use Blogger for my blog so if you…

Velvet Cupcakes-Bag vs. Box
Would you like a bag for that? Usually you hear this question at the supermarket. Recently I visited Velvet Cupcakes at our mall and got asked this question. In my previous post, when I ordered a cupcake from this store, I was given a box to cradle my delicate cupcake. This time around, I was given a bag. I asked about getting my cupcake in a box because this cupcake was not for me. It was to celebrate a coworkers birthday the next day during work. How awful would that be if the frosting got damaged! I was told that if I wanted my cupcake in a box, that there…

Tilted Kilt-Approriate For All Viewers?
Recently at a very busy intersection by my house, a new billboard was put up. At first glance, I thought I was in Vegas. Some of you may have a Tilted Kilt by your house but we recently got one in our mall. The city that I live is is quite family friendly. I honestly have no idea why the city would allow such a billboard to be displayed and even a restaurant like Tilted Kilt to have space in our mall. Guess when money is involved, people are willing. There are several billboards from this restaurant around town but I thought the one below was a bit rude claiming…
