Read MoreIt's the most wonderful week of the year - SHARK WEEK! I like to celebrate not only because I find sharks fascinating, but because I want to get people excited about sharks. Millions of sharks are killed every year and it's a race against extinction. So stop being afraid OF sharks and be afraid FOR sharks.
Now, spread the word and get festive by making these delicious and FINtastic shark cupcakes!
Read MoreThis one pot supper is packed with flavor and perfect for a week night. While the chicken braises, you can watch Jeopardy (an addiction of mine), throw in a load of laundry or make yourself a cocktail to unwind from the work day.
I tend to start a braised dish like this as soon as I get home from work. That way, it has plenty of time to develop flavor and it's ready by the time my man friend gets home.* :)

Read MoreI LOVE burgers. My favorite burger in DC is definitely from Shake Shack. Everything is perfect. When I can't make it out, I make my own and I use this recipe every time.

Share your favorite toppings in the comments below!
