Sadelle’s

Like I mentioned when I reviewed Russ and Daughters Café, Jewish food is having a moment right now.  The line goes out the door for lox and I knew I would run into the same wait lines at Sadelle’s as I did at Russ and Daughters.  My plan of attack was to let the fam…

BBQ Chicken Tacos

I continue to get creative with Taco Tuesday.  [Currently patting myself on the back.]  My last invention blended Mexican tacos with my Southern heritage.  I slathered chicken tenders with bar-b-cue sauce and baked them for about 20 minutes at 425.  (Those little strips cook up fast!)  When they were done, I chopped the chicken til…

Twenty Sixteen

I am all about realistic goals when it comes to New Year’s Resolutions.  I want to be able to say I accomplished them so I can actually make a difference in my life.  When goals are lofty, it’s too easy to push them to the side and say “welp, better luck next year.”  I did…

Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Crema Slaw

When I started Taco Tuesday, the goal was just to have tacos every week.  Now that I’ve pretty much settled into that groove, I’ve decided to one-up myself by trying new taco recipes whenever possible.  This one was all built around the slaaaaw. I knew I wanted some sort of slaw on these tacos, and slaw…
