Life Through My Eyes
As always, this is a friendly reminder for you all to go vote tomorrow in the United States as it is finally Election Day 2012! At the end of the day, I don’t care who you vote for, just don’t forget to vote and remind your friends and family to do the same. Side note: …
The last few days have been an absolutely whirlwind with Hurricane Sandy hitting us. In all the years we have lived here, we have never experienced anything like it or its aftermath. If you were lucky enough to not be in its path and/or have never experienced a Hurricane, I can’t begin to explain to …
A friend of mine who I went to school with, posted a picture of her niece in the costume below on Instagram with the following caption: ‘so I asked my niece what she is going to be for Halloween and she comes out wearing this. I asked her what it was and she said “Bando-girl. She is …
In just under a month, I was able to raise $360 for the Central Jersey Heart Walk and I want to take a moment to thank everyone that generously donated towards this great cause.

We usually never get pita bread in our house. But a week or so ago, when we ordered takeout from a local Mediterranean place, they also gave us a packet of pita bread with our order for some reason. I had been trying to think of what to make with it to make use of …
So for dinner today, I was working with tilapia (my absolute favorite fish!) I didn’t want to fry it like I do usually. I thought about grilling it like I did last time, but I wanted it still to be juicy enough inside (without becoming tough). I wanted a breaded crust, but I didn’t want …
