I had such huge aspirations this year for testing a ton of different Autumn-inspired recipes that would be perfect for Thanksgiving time. It was going to be great. I have been bookmarking a ton of different recipes I found interesting, just waiting for the time to actually make them. And that’s the problem. Time… It’s…

The Top 10 Foods You Have To Eat In Paris
With so many options and so little time to spend in the city of lights, this list highlights The Top 10 Foods You Have To Eat In Paris! I like to plan… a lot. As I painstakingly prepared for our trip to Paris, I researched food extensively. I mean, hey, let’s face it: how…
Take Better Food Photos: Build A Light Tent
I’m a terrible photographer. I have a Nikon d40 Digital SLR camera that has potential to take great photos, but the man pushing the button doesn’t even take it off the “automatic” function. So lately I’ve been doing some research on how to take better photos of all the food I cook. There is nothing…
Pork Tinga Tacos
I first heard about Pork Tinga from Chef Rick Bayless and his recipe in Food & Wine Magazine’s February 2012 edition. I have his Mexican Everyday cookbook and absolutely love it, and Asheley and I both love pork (check out my Taccozzette con Stracotto and Pulled Pork recipes), so I decided to give it a…
Kimchi Taco: Food Truck Paradise

NYC Cookie Perfection
I realize the above title is a pretty bold statement. But I also have not come across a better cookie in my almost 28 years on this planet. I was first introduced to Levain Bakery several years back, and now find my car driving there automatically almost every time Asheley and I drive into the…
The Best Guacamole
I love guacamole. It is the perfect accompaniment to many of my favorite foods: fajitas, quesadillas, nachos, tacos. There’s not much that guacamole doesn’t improve. It’s also just insanely addictive with a big ‘ole bowl of tortilla chips. I have to admit, I’m also the sucker that always has to order guacamole when…
