Remember when all you had to do for food was yell, "Hey Ma, when's dinner?" We believed our Jersey Moms when they told us facts about our food but as it turns out, either their moms told them the same lies or they lied to us. They probably just wanted us to clean our plates so they could have some "me time". Either way, these are the top food lies our Jersey moms told us (and we believed them!).

So where we goin’ for St. Patty’s Day? Your friends will be asking and if you want to make the most of a socially distanced celebration check out some of our favorites. I could be talked into a Smithwick’s at any one of these places. Erin go Bragh!

The Second Wind Llama Farm believes in that the mind, body and nature connection is crucial to a balanced being and I would go out on a limb and say that most of us are not exactly balanced with this COVID crisis. So why not get some llama therapy?

I haven’t been vaccinated yet but I know which one of the three that I want. I’m a woman, I shop. I’ve done my homework and I know in my mind which one I think is best for me and my family but experts are telling us to go against everything Consumer Affairs has ever taught us and take the first vaccine we can get our hands on…they want us to settle and smile about it.

Food and Wine Magazine recently put out a list of the 50 best bagel shops in the country. Only one New Jersey bagel shop made the list…Teaneck Road Hot Bagels.

In any event, the fact that NJ and NY don’t take every single spot on the list is suspect. Maybe it’s just because I grew up here, but the bagels in Jersey are the best and here's why:

OK today is the warmest day we've had since Christmas...can you blame this Jersey girl for thinking about the beach? Let's be good girl scouts and get prepared so when it's time we can hit the sand with confidence. This is from my beach bag to yours...

There might be some Jersey reality TV scoop here! I posted yesterday that Snooki was back on TV but as a solo host for HGTV's Beach Cabana Royale, which by the way sounds super mature. I was sold on the idea that Snooki was done with the Jersey Shore franchise and ready to move onto her many other projects BUT now that this happened I wonder if her being off the show was only a set up for a comeback and a ratings boost!
