Tortellini Tomato Soup -- Juggling With Julia

April is doing its best impression of early March – biting winds and a chilly 40-something, despite the sunny days. Brrrrr. Take me back to Puerto Rico, please. Snap! I’m still here! That didn’t work. OK, let’s make soup instead. In fact, today I am sharing with you the fastest, easiest soup I’ve ever made. You can thank Dee [...]

Crispy "Fried" Chicken -- Juggling With Julia

America is the land of riches, and that includes some extraordinarily calorically-dense foods. There’s the Super Big Gulp, artery-clogging movie popcorn, and the calorie calamity that is a slice of Cheesecake Factory cheesecake. Monster-sized burgers, fried chicken, and the almighty fried potato are regulars at any drive-thru window.

I played in a volleyball tournament two days ago. Two whole days. Yet, this morning it still feels like my body was beat with wooden sticks all night long. Oh, the sore muscles – how glorious!

Chocolate Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Frosting -- Juggling With Julia

Go big or go home. True in life, and also true when it comes to dessert. Of course, I don’t mean ’big’ as in “GET YOUR HANDS OFF THAT MONSTER PIECE, IT’S MINE!” What I do mean is this: Go real. Go fresh. Go decadent. When you crave a few bites of something with the richness of real butter, dark brown sugar, [...]
