Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
When my Mom visits we like to just…walk. We don’t usually make a strict plan ahead of time and we stop whenever we see something interesting, whether that’s a restaurant or boutique. On the first day of her vistit we made “village” our general destination. We didn’t even specify East or West so we started…

This avocado and egg pita is one of my earlier Pinterest pins. Somehow, however, I never got around to making it which is crazy because it’s easy enough to throw together in the middle of the harried getting-ready-for-work dance. I like to toast or warm my pita a bit first. Then, while the egg fries,…

If I’m just snacking, I like to use pita bread (instead of flatbread because this is healthier, especially if you use whole wheat pita) to make a little open faced sandwich. When you split the pita in half (basically, just take the hole and open it further til you have two rounds) it’s just filling…

Sometimes having a power breakfast on a weekday makes you feel, well, powerful. I was in the mood to let out my inner Superman so I adapted this goat cheese and egg toast with peas last week. I used a scrambled egg instead of a fried one because I didn’t want to have to deal…

I keep seeing recipes for corn on the cob that’s been grilled and topped with fun ingredients like seasoned butter, mayo, and cotija cheese. Such a fun summer treat, right? Well here’s the problem with that: I live in NYC so it is significantly more difficult to find a grill to make a recipe like…

I find that when something is in season, it requires very little fuss to turn it into a great dish. In this…

I’m working very hard to start eating breakfast in the morning. Usually that means a croissant or an english muffin with cheese…maybe some sort of egg dish on the weekend. But last week I set my sights on a quinoa breakfast bowl; and on a weekday, no less. I know, it seems aggressive. I, too,…

After my curried yogurt with beet and sweet potato chip post, I decided there was a hole in my food blogging. I post big dishes all the time but I rarely ever write about snacks. We all indulge in ‘tween the meal munching but there’s usually little variation. I, myself, am partial to white cheddar Pirate’s…

I’ve been in a snack rut lately. Every time I reach for something to munch on between meals I’ve ended up with popcorn or hummus. I wanted something new so I did some googling and found a list of quick and healthy snacks on realsimple.com and found this winner. Just mix fat free Greek yogurt…

I had been snacking on my latest cheese purchase, a goat cheese rolled in smoked paprika (I think) but decided I wanted to do something more with it than put it on crackers. The paprika gave it such a unique smoky flavor (one I don’t associate with the tang of goat cheese) that I thought…
