This years the Super Bowl is being held in Miami which is about 90 minutes north of where I now live in Palm Beach Gardens. South Florida will definitely be jumping as thousands are flocking to the area and events are taking place from Palm Beach County all the way down to Miami. As much as I wish was back in South Florida to take it all in ( 80 degree weather included) I can rest assured knowing that I will be eating and drinking well in good company with great friends and the man who has shown me how to have a*party*around food, Matt Ready.

Valentines Day is the perfect excuse to spoil the one you love with something he or she will remember all year long.

This recipe for Lobster Tail With Lemon Curry Butter from the folks at Salt & Turmeric would be great as part of a romantic Valentine’s Day brunch or dinner.

For those that prefer less spice, just reduce the amount of hot chili powder when making the recipe (or omit it altogether).

Artichokes are a wonderful healing food that are a prominent and tasty part of Mediterranean cuisine. As someone who considers marinated artichoke hearts to be a nearly perfect snack food, I was very happy to have come across the below artichoke soup recipe when my friend on StumbleUpon sent it to me.

(I’m huggingthecoast on StumbleUpon.)

Needless to say, I’m really looking forward to trying this soup which is from the What’s Cookin’ Italian Style Cuisine Food Blog.

One of the interesting things about this artichoke soup recipe is that it’s a nice way to help use up one’s winter stock of canned soup, while the addition of wine, garlic, and heavy cream help add sophistication and flavor depth to the Creamy Italian Artichoke Soup.

Fun food fact about artichokes,
