Houston is such a big city, over 2 million people to be a little more exact, but no matter where I go I always seem to find someone I know. For instance today… I’m shopping at Central Market and who do I run into? My step-mom! No surprise there actually, seeing as she is one of the biggest reasons for a huge chunk of my cooking knowledge and she’s always at one grocery store or another prepping for dinner. So, […]
I know what you are thinking right now…. fried cheese – I’m for sure clicking this recipe post! Well, you made the right decision :). As you can tell from my recent blog posts I am really into roasted vegetables right now, and that’s not just because I am trying desperately to lose a few pounds (which would be made easier by giving up red wine but that’s just not going to happen). I can’t get over the richness the veggies […]
My best buddy/brudda in law recently did an awesome guest post on my site, and now it’s my boyfriends turn :)! I talk about him in many of my posts already, so you know he comes from a family of seriously talented and incredible cooks. Its moments like this he really surprises me when he does something incredible like this recipe. So, here is Albert’s first post! Growing up the Jew that I am, I have always LOVED salmon. It took me […]
Do you want to know what really amazes me? How people can spend hours and days and weeks studying something and still get it wrong, but then can recall every detail of a memory down to a smell from so far back in their childhood. One of my fondest memories as a child, you guessed it – something to do with food, is going to my grandma’s house in Louisiana. The very first thing she would do as soon as we […]
I recently joined a farm share with my bro-in-law (my awesome guest blogger you can check out here), and it’s probably one of the best decisions I have made. The quality of the vegetables he brings me every week are impeccable, and it has made me eat about 10x the amount of veggies I normally eat, which is also really great. Plus, I get to be lazy and get fresh vegetables from an organic farm delivered straight to my […]
I have never been a huge salad person. I wish I was but it’s just not me. I just started this new program though called “21 Day Fix”, and I am determined to become a healthier eater! So I ordered up the 21 day fix kit and I’m working on all kinds of new recipes that work well with it. It’s basically a portion control program, which I seriously need because I usually fill my plate like a caveman who just hit […]
Coffee… oh how I love you so. A guy in my office once bought me this sign that said “I am a witch without my coffee”… so yea you get the picture, a love and necessity :). In my recent accumulation of knowledge of everything yummy from my boyfriend’s family (I’ve gotten a lot of inspiration from them lately), I have discovered Turkish coffee. I have no clue what rock I have been living under that I never knew about […]
