Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
I’m a major pizza fan. Matt and I could single-handedly put Cici’s Pizza and their all-you-can-eat pizza buffet out of business if we wanted. But then we wouldn’t have anymore all-you-can-eat pizza and that would be a sad world to live in. It’s not like I think Cici’s is the best pizza around – far from…

Last night was all about zucchini. I had found a recipe for zucchini soup that looked promising so I headed to Fairway on my lazy Sunday to pick up the ingredients. I assumed I would end up with some extra zucchini so I picked up a few additional ingredients to try out a fun zucchini…

Last night was a make-something-outta-nothing night. I had a lot of random ingredients in my fridge/freezer. Plenty of snacks, not much dinner material. I had some frozen organic butternut squash chunks that I found at Whole Foods a week or two ago. I didn’t know butternut squash could be done in a microwave steam-fresh bag.…

Now that I know how to poach eggs, I decided to re-create a dish I had at a restaurant, with my own little twist of course. Though unplanned, it worked out nicely that the meal I decided to make ahead of time was quick and easy because I ended up staying late at work on…

Last night, I went to one of my favorite gym classes, Street Fighter. If that makes me sound like a badass, it’s only because I am one. Anyway, because the class ended late and I knew I would have to make a stop to fill my empty fridge, I knew I would be eating a…
