About the Author
The "South Jersey Foodie" is Nicole Pellegrini, sometimes known as sockii. She enjoys life as a writer, artist, webmaster, crafter and avid food-lover living in some of the last vestiges of active farmland in Gloucester County, New Jersey. She shares her home with her partner David, a podiatrist in Woodbury NJ and their six cats: Peanut, Norman, Sammo, Mischief, George and Benny.I believe in enjoying life - and that includes enjoying as many different kinds and styles of food as possible. I am an omnivore with a personal passion for small, sustainable, ethical farming and natural foods. I have little patience for the "Food Police" or those who advocate that one dietary plan is the only "right" one for everyone. Find your personal balance and conscience; make food a joy in your life - that's my motto.

Seasons 52: New Spring Menu Review
On Tuesday night I had the pleasure and privilege of being able to experience the new offerings on Seasons 52 spring menu, as well as hear the restaurant’s Culinary Director Clifford Pleau and Master Sommelier George Miliotes talk about these latest appetizers, entrees and drinks via a live webcast. Now, those who know me well know that I am often skeptical about “chain restaurants”, even as I admit they have a respectable place and time in the dining world. When I’m on the road in unfamiliar territory, especially in suburban areas lacking many local, unique dining experiences, there are certain chains I’m relieved to find because I know I will be able to enjoy a certain constant, consistent level of food. Yet in general I always prefer to dine at local, independent, non-chain establishments when I can.
Broiled Chicken Skewers in a Balsamic Marinade
Honestly, when I know I need a quick yet crowd-pleasing dinner, one of the first ideas I get is for skewers. Who doesn’t love meat (and/or veggies) on a stick? Cooking doesn’t get much simpler yet so rewarding at the same time. I also like grilled or broiled skewers because the high-heat, low-fat cooking technique is healthy and filling.
