To die for.
Summer is just around the corner and I'm excited for everything the warm weather has to offer. From picnics and barbecues to strawberries and hamburgers, this is my favorite time of year! And with Cinco de Mayo, Mother's Day, and Memorial Day, there are a lot of parties to look forward to. Wondering what items we're totally obsessing over this month? Here they are, our must haves for May. Read more
This year, instead of picking up a standard box of chocolate, grab a chocolate bar. With a box of chocolates, there's always the inevitable ones you don't like, but if you get a bar, you can select your favorite flavor and enjoy the whole thing! It's also incredibly romantic tearing off a chunk of chocolate while sipping a glass of red wine. We are always sent a bunch of chocolate, but I Read more
With its festive parties and unlimited opportunities to bake and cook, December is one of my favorite months. Here, I've rounded up my must haves for the holidays. Enjoy! Read more
There's no doubt about it, I really dig on bacon. I also really enjoy chocolate. Recently I had the opportunity to try Vosges Mo's Bacon Bar, which is a deep milk chocolate bar with tiny crumbles of applewood smoked bacon and Alder wood smoked salt. As a bar, it was interesting, I wasn't sure I needed to have it again — believe it or not, bacon is not my favorite flavor, it's up there, but it's Read more

Would You Rather Eat Bacon Ice Cream Or Bacon Chocolate? Bacon Ice Cream. Bacon Chocolate. Neither you are grossing me out! Everything is better with bacon: I would eat both! Other - see my comment below. Read more
I really enjoy Vosges Chocolates (at least the two exotic candy bars I've tried have been delicious) and really need to hunt down some of their (new?) Red Fire Tortilla Chips. I read about them yesterday and have been drooling ever since. They're organic corn tortilla chips, covered in chocolate and topped with ancho & chipotle chiles. Um, chocolate covered tortilla chips with a hint of Read more
Here is the first installment in my Be Mine series which will highlight my Valentine's Day favorites. Jumping into the good stuff: sexual chocolate. I am more of a dark chocolate lover; I have come to appreciate the rich, bitter taste of the dark stuff. Interestingly, it appears that Jessica Biel likes all sorts of chocolate. Here are my picks that are either simply yummy or simply pretty. None Read more
Scarlett Johansson spent the afternoon exploring the Marais district in Paris yesterday with a pair of female friends. The actress appeared to be enjoying a break from work before she begins her press tour for The Avengers next month. Scarlett was seen relaxing on the lawn at the Place des Vosges square, shopping at the high-end boutique L'Eclaireur, and visiting an exhibit at the Swedish Read more
I'm definitely a fan of Valentine's Day, but mostly because I like the excuse to eat chocolate. Besides tasting good, dark chocolate is full of heart-healthy flavonoids (equal to many fruits), can soothe a cough, increase blood flow, and lower blood pressure. Spread the love even more this holiday by buying my picks for chocolate that's organic, Fair Trade, or health-inspired, and don't forget Read more
