My Favorite Resturants In NYC

Last week I had the pleasure of visiting NYC with one of my girlfriends. Immediately after booking the flight I was on the internet researching all the new places I could eat. I have to say, I’m impressed. I can’t believe how much food I was able to consume in two days. A week later and I am still in a food coma. Here is a wrap up of all the tasty places I got to visit.

10 Layer Peanut Butter Cake for Peanut Butter and Co.

This is a guest post from CakeSpy.

Let me take a brief break from telling you about my book tour (remaining dates here, btw--I'm in the Chicago area tonight, at the Aspen Drive Library, 701 Aspen Drive, Vernon Hills IL, from 7-8 p.m.) to tell you about this amazing cake I crafted for my friends at Peanut Butter and Company.

It's a 10 layer cake, inspired by Smith Island Cake (the recipe for that one is in the new book). More Here...
Recipe: Mexican Flank Steak With Lamb Lettuce

While wandering through the isles of Trader Joe's, I came across Lamb Lettuce. I had never heard of such a thing and was tempted to give it a go. The bag claimed that it tasted great with avocados and I knew the perfect recipe to pair it with. Mexican Flank Steak! More Here...

"The First Taste" - Children Trying Food For The First Time

Do you remember the first time you tasted sour? What about sweet? Or bitter? A short film created by Matt Gilmour captures children tasting food for the first time. More Here...
Garlic Rice with Sautéed Onions and Toasted Pine Nuts

This is a guest post from For the Love of Cooking.

I really loved the Garlic Rice I recently made so I decided to make it again but this time added a little pizazz to it by adding sautéed onion, sun dried tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, and fresh parsley. It turned out delicious. I loved the flavors and textures the different ingredients gave to this dish. It was a big hit with my husband and I but both of our kids said they like plain rice better – you can’t win them all! This rice paired nicely with the chicken thighs and broccoli I served for dinner. More Here...
Burger Night – French Onion Dip Burgers

Here I go again. I don't know anyone who eats more burgers than me and my husband. I'm not talkin' about frozen-patty burgers. No, we visit the local butcher every week and stock up on fresh ground chuck. It was one of those weeks that I was craving caramelized onions and a lot of them. More Here...

Roasted Green Beans with Red Onions and Walnuts

Michelle loves to roast vegetables like cauliflower, kale, green bean, etc as the high heat and short cooking time brings out the caramelization and yet retain the nutrition. Michelle shared the above Roasted Green Beans with Red Onion and Walnuts in the South Arm Older Adults Kitchen. More Here...
Recipe: Nachos Dulces

There is a local Mexican Restaurant in Ogden, Utah that serves the most sinful Nachos Dulces that you have ever tasted. And I wanted them right now, I had flown all day and missed the comforting taste of home food. It was 9:00 on a Friday night, I was already in my sweats and I didn’t feel like going out for dessert. So, I tried my hand at making my own nachos dulces, and I have to admit, they turned out pretty dang awesome. You’re going to thank me for this one. More Here...

Chopped All-Stars: Totally Rigged!

Disclaimer: I absolutely cannot stand Scott Conant. I really can't. I think he's a total ass and cocky to boot. Therefore, take the following with a grain of salt, though I'm curious as to see what everyone who watched the show thinks.

I love the show "Chopped." It's one of a few shows on TV I'm totally hooked on. The idea of having a limited time to prepare a meal with ingredients that normally don't go together is intriguing, and it's interesting seeing how the competitors marry the ingredients. That said, some parts of me wonder if there is a little under-the-hood bias. More Here...
