It’s going well and I’m definitely atoning for the gluttonous indulgence of the food show by depriving myself of meat and cheese for a couple days. So last night, I made a delicious dinner, some of it inspired by one of the products I’ll be featuring in my show review, part 3. I started with … More Days Two and Three a Vegan…
To stand out in a crowd is never easy, but these snacks and sweets makers did so for me! First, as you know from prior blogging, popcorn is my favorite snack. This was a big item this year, as everyone is trying new corn, exotic seasoning, and even mixing up different types together (which by … More SFFS16 Review Part 2: Snacks and Sweets
As overwhelming as the Summer Fancy Food Show was for me during my first experience there, I’ve managed to synthesize and organize some (not all) of my thoughts. So for part one, I decided to go with the innovative vendors that impressed me most. Things I haven’t seen before, either in product or packaging or … More SFFS16 review Pt 1: impressive innovations
Before I get to reviewing one of the best experiences of my life as a foodie, the Summer Fancy Food Show in NYC, #SFFS16, I must have a prologue. I don’t know how many parts the review blogging will be. I think I can do it in four. This doesn’t count; it’s the prologue…. So … More Would you rather…

I usually braise or slow cook in the winter because I like the hearty, deep, rich braises and broths that warm your soul. Think tomato and good red wine, beef and Guinness, spicy BBQ and bourbon. Mmm. But alas, it’s summer! What to do? I felt like braising some chicken thighs, but it was nearly … More Summer braise, makes me feel fine…
Ok, so we all know the low carb thing is a great idea. It totally works when I’m trying to be on the lower end of my weight bracket. Spaghetti squash can tap in for pasta, mushrooms can fill you kinda like a baked potato. Yet nothing satisfies the craving for bread like bread. And … More Crostini craving…
Music, history, food, drink, sights, smells, and sounds, New Orleans (N’awlins) is a place like no other. The French Quarter is generally the place to be for walking around with a hurricane (the fruity ice drink that is a must if you go when it’s hot out – gulf coast hot is HOT!). No open … More N’awlins
One of my favorite flavor combinations is sweet and savory. This is why I love to make a sweet sauce for a savory piece of meat. One of the first dishes I made well as a grown up was basically just about the sauce because I could do it with steak or chicken. It was … More Sweet Meat…
I put two tortilla chips to the test the other night – Jalapeño Jack and Roasted Tomato Herb, both by Buck Wild. I generally like the plainer chip and focus on the dip, but these were lovely vessels for a simple guac. I served them side by side with a homemade guacamole (I use a … More Chip it good…
