My apologies on being tardy with my log. Sometimes The Urban Domestic Diva goes from “lots of doing” to “too much doing.” It’s no wonder I have Crohn’s Disease! I do wish to make one comment in reponse to a questions asked of me...

I adore my very Italian family. They show their love with hugs, kisses, yelling loudly and food. If you tell an Italian from the old country you like something you have tried while they had you over, be prepared to get a lot of it in your future. I once told my mother...

In honor of the middle of summer (which I may add, is going so fast it’s depressing me) I am posting a great infographic with grilling tips. I have to say, my sister is a single mom and I am always impressed how amazing she is with her grill. She just rules her...

I was tasked with a cool, light dessert for my Mother’s 4th of July picnic. I have always wanted to try a trifle of some sort. It’s like sweet, creamy deliciousness meets “lasagna”. It always looked very dramatic for serving to guests, yet easy...

Every year, I “throw down” for Father’s Day brunch. I try to make delicious nibbles for my hubby using flavor profiles he likes. And he LOVES bananas. I, on the other hand, don’t care for them. Well, I like them in baked goods. But raw, forget...

Recently, I wrote a post about grilling pizzas using a great shortcut: Trader Joe’s Pizza Dough. We played, ate, played, and ate some more. We tried lots of approaches and 4 different topping combos. Our favorite is the one I am sharing with you here. To fine...
