Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
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 grabbed a bag and…

Cooking with ingredients of the season just feels…genuine. Each month I’ll select one or two ingredients that are in season and highlight them in a…

It’s rare that I make breakfast on the weekends. I usually either use the weekend as an excuse to grab a bagel or breakfast sandwich from around the corner or to sleep in, lounge around, and make lunch my first meal. But this Sunday I convinced Albert to come over for a proper weekend brunch.…

I know I wrote about Dominque Ansel Bakery yesterday but who cares – here we go again. This time, we’re talking savory. While the bakery is famous for their desserts, they serve a couple soups, salads, and sandwiches that are, apparently, not to be knocked. One such sandwich was profiled about eight months ago and…

I have consistently posted on this blog every weekday for a while now which means if I’m slacking I must be reeeeeally busy. That’s why when I had almost all of Sunday free, I thought the best thing I could do for myself was to cook up something yummy so I would have a fresh…
