Remember when I was talking about my love for the show Parenthood? Well, the real reason why I even started to watch it in the first place was due to my immense love for Gilmore girls. Lauren Graham, the wonderful actress who played Sarah Braverman on Parenthood, stared as clever Lorelai Gilmore on Gilmore girls. I have re-watched every GG episode multiple times (in fact, I’m working my way through the series yet again. Rory just graduated from Chilton. Tear.) T.G.F.N. (Thank God for Netflix)

I like to think I’m as witty as Lorelai and Rory, and I sort of have that blue eye, brown hair thing going on. From the first time I saw an episode, I wanted nothing more than to become a Gilmore.Read More

Because Fooduzzi is a safe place, I want to admit something to all of you: I often fall victim to the snack attack.

Hangryism runs deep within the Peduzzi household. My brother’s hangryness is so bad, that he eventually becomes adamant that he isn’t hungry and refuses to admit he just needs a fulfilling snack to get him back to his normal bright-eyed and bushy-tailed self. It’s just a lovely experience for all involved.Read More

Today is an extremely exciting day for yours truly.

I have been asked to write a monthly online article by a community magazine, North Hills Monthly.

Guys, I honestly cannot tell you how exciting this is for me – getting recognized for doing something you love? There’s nothing better.

Well, maybe there is. And it’s in the form of this Snickerdoodle Nut Butter.Read More

Are there any foods that you identify with your childhood?

For me, it’s nothing sweet, nothing gummy, nothing colorful, and nothing chocolaty. I was, and truthfully, still am, highly addicted to spicy foods as a young tot. I distinctly remember a photograph of my three-year-old-bowl-haircut self munching on pepperoncini at the dinner table. Adding spoonfulls of Delallo’s Hot Pepper Relish to my sandwiches was normal behavior for eight-year-old me. Frank’s was a welcomed guest at the dinner table throughout my childhood, as I would dump its beautifully red contents into eggs, chili, and everything in-between. Read More

Sweet Potato Bruschetta

I studied abroad in Italy for about three months the spring semester my sophomore year of college.

Studying abroad was so important for me when choosing a university that I largely based my school decision on the type of study abroad program it had. I was signed up to go to our Italian campus before I even started my freshman year. Needless to say, I’m a planner.Read More

Black Beans & Rice

Guys. It’s official: I’m obsessed with Netflix.

I’m a pretty big TV watcher. Regardless of what I’m doing, I almost always have the television on in the background. I wake up in the morning, flip on Food Network while I’m getting ready, keep it on when I’m doing homework or working on Fooduzzi, and watch it while I’m eating dinner. It’s mindless, and honestly, I only end up truly watching it about a quarter of the time anyway. Some may say that it rots brains, but silence is seriously deafening for me. That background white noise is like the cinnamon to my oatmeal – I need it to operate.Read More

Guacos (Guacamole Tacos)

Fooduzzi was always a figment of my imagination. “How cool would it be to have my own blog?” is what ran through my head as I poured over pages and pages of Oh She Glows, How Sweet It Is, Sally’s Baking Addiction, & Edible Perspective. Getting to write about something you’re passionate about? And having people actually read it? It all sounded too good to be true.

Although I’m in school for a technology-driven major, I didn’t know the first thing about how to go about hosting my site or designing a theme. Although Fooduzzi was always an idea, it just never seemed like a possibility for me.

Enter: my friend, Mark.Read More
