About Me

 Grubarazzi with her adorable and supportive husband 
(a.k.a taste tester extraordinaire)

I am a classically trained eater with a passion for cooking, photography, writing, and travel. I write about what makes me tick, mainly grub.


After a decade of climbing the corporate ladder I craved an outlet for my insane love of food, photography, writing and family. Since I was a babe my foodie parents saw the passion in my eyes when they would bring their homemade concoctions to the table.  This blog combines everything I adore in life. 

The recipes, photos and scribbles on the pages of Grubarazzi are yours truly, although I am constantly inspired by chefs, friends and fellow food bloggers. Twisting classics while respecting tradition is what Grubarazzi is all about. I only hope my passion is duly expressed and motivates readers to try anything. 

Enjoy the recipes, dance, laugh and eat with me. And for goodness sakes, get your grub on!

    What a nice photo--I think we're blogging for similar reasons. I love to cook, and other than writing for work (which doesn't count), I needed a place to write about things I find interesting.

    Awww!! What a great picture of you and your food taster hubby!! I love how food brings people together. I've met so many wonderful people while blogging so it's reach is extraordinary. I actually started blogging because I loved looking at food in cookbooks and wanted to see if I could take some good food pictures. Then the obsession started and I haven't been able to stop. The great thing my family enjoys my hobby so I keep going. :)

    This is GREAT! I love the photo and thanks for a peek into your passion! It's funny - I refer to my husband as Honey Bunny on the blog, but his job is taste tester, too! ....and he takes his job VERY seriously! :o)

Grilled Asparagus Salad with Fried Quail Eggs

The Baltimore Farmer’s Market was beaming with pride as the stalls opened for the season on Sunday morning, and it has good reason to be prideful. It was recently voted #1 Farmer’s Market in the nation by Country Living.   Since it was 7:00 am after a long night out I was appropriately armed with coffee, sun glasses, and hippy-ass reusable tote bags. Asparagus has been in the forefront of my thoughts since eating a memorably crisp asparagus salad at Woodberry Kitchen . When I saw a pile of garden-fresh spears I couldn’t resist getting a few bundles for the week as well as my fair share of blue kale, foraged mushrooms, spinach, organic quail eggs, ramps, and a multitude of other goodies.   It is going to be a wonderfully food-filled week. Grilled Asparagus Salad with Fried Quail Eggs utilizes many of the seasonal ingredients I scored at the market. It’s only lightly seasoned to give the ingredients the stage. Fresh tarragon is laced throughout and the yolk from the gent...

A Recipe to Fall For

Some recipes evoke an absolute carnal lust in me that transcends reasoning. My mouth waters frenziedly, my eyes get big, and my smile widens with the anticipation of the feast. These lust inducing meals usually involve bacon, cheese and pasta covered in luscious red sauce. I am fairly certain my lineage does not contain a trace of Italian, but my favorite foods are profoundly Italian-American like these Meatballs in Bacon Sauce by Chef Beau MacMillan.   This is not my recipe; however, I felt it deserved a special place on my blog after I dotingly made it for extended family on a recent ski trip to Whistler, Canada. The smell of the sauce simmering for hours, the gentle roasting of the simple meatballs and the absolute joy on the faces of everyone who ate it reminds me what Valentine’s Day is all about: love and family. If you make this for someone special tonight they will fall in love with you on the spot.  That is a fact. Happy Valentine’s Day! Sp...

Mango Kale Smoothie with Coconut and Mint

Let’s talk about America’s love affair with smoothies. I can’t decide if we have convinced ourselves that drinking a milk shake instead of a meal is A-OK or if smoothies really are a wonder food. Once I finally gave in to the health benefits of protein powder I became fascinated with blending my breakfast. I am certainly not the first person to make a green smoothie, but I do think I have created the perfect blend of vegetables and fruit for a vitamin rich, delicious, and portable meal. Protein powder is a very personal thing. For instance, I cannot eat whey so I went on a quest to find vegan protein with very little sugar. I found perfection from a company called Arbonne who makes a delicious vegan based protein powder in chocolate and vanilla. Heed my advice; don’t start drinking this smoothie if you are not equipped for addiction.  This is not low calorie or low fat, but it is packed with vitamins, healthy fats, protein and antioxidants to keep you moving throughout...
