Caper Tuna Melt

I have no idea why, but I was craving a tuna melt like nobody’s business yesterday.  I made a simple one by mixing one can of tuna with mayo, capers, and a chopped radish (for a bit of crunch).  I piled it onto pumpernickel bread (holler if you also absolutely love this black beauty of the…

Puckett’s

No meal is more Southern than a meat and three.  Unless it’s a grilled bologna sandwich.  Thankfully, at Puckett’s, you can get both. Puckett’s is located in the middle of downtown Nashville, right near our hotel, so it was our first stop upon arrival.  Lindsay wanted to fill her bachelorette weekend with as much Southern food…

The Marshal

So I had no idea about The Marshal‘s commitment to sustainability when I went to brunch there on Sunday.  All I knew was that Rebekah and Alex asked if we could come to their Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, and I simply chose the restaurant out of their four suggestions that I thought had the best looking…

Burger & Lobster

On Saturday Albert and I wanted to celebrate his getting his bonus with lobster rolls and a boat ride on the Hudson.  Unfortunately, due to Summer Streets (where Park Avenue is closed to traffic on Saturdays in August), it took us half an hour in a cab to make it less than half way to…

Mediterranean Meatball Pitas

Trader Joe’s turkey meatballs are my weekday mealtime savior.  Bless you, Trader Joe’s meatballs and your quick cooking ways.  After loving this wrap, I decided to try a new version.  Like the other wrap, it’s got a Mediterranean feel, but more crunch and even more Mediterranean-y, thanks to our good friend tahini. In the five…
