Neighborhood Services chef Nick Badovinus has hit one out of the park with his new Off-Site Kitchen on Irving Boulevard. Off-Site looks kinda plain and unassuming from the outside. It might be a hardware store. The parking isn't great but if you don't mind off...
Last night I attended Taste of the NFL at the Omni hotel. Other than the fact that I got to hang with good friends, I'd say the highlight was getting a compliment from FOX 4's Lauren Przybyl. She loved my dress. Win! Anyway, I wrote a poem about it. The event, not...
Fact: Lakewoostock is exactly like Woodstock only with less live music and far less weed. I happen to live right down the street from the Lakewood Theater shopping center, and as a new Lakewood resident, I want to support my local businesses, artists and whatnot. So...
@LillyNeu! She created an awesome photo plea!@Kelley_Counts! She loves the hunger games and pie!@VinnyGallagher! He wrote me a shitty poem!@thattinygirl! She's going to try and bring her cats! Potential hilarity will ensue!Congratulations to the winners! You will all...
Ooh! I love it when I get to give away stuff. This one's a quickie. I've got passes to Taste Addison this weekend, along with restaurant gift cards to give away. And I get to pick FOUR winners! Each winner gets: -- 4 passes to Taste Addison (A $60 value! Bring 3 friends...
Okay, so I'm not totally sure that you can lick a football player at Taste of the NFL (or TOTNFL for short), but if the opportunity arises, look out. I'll be there, capturing photos and tasting things (most likely food and not football players), but if you want to go...
I love being a food writer. I get to do the coolest shit. Attending yesterda's Chefs for Farmers event at Lee Park was one of those cool-as-hell moments. It was cool, because of all the food, chefs, wine and wine. And it was hellishly hot. ;) But I loved every minute...
See you NEVER. I stopped at USA DONUTS & CROISSANT on my way to an 8:30 meeting. This hole in the Gaston had been beckoning me on my way to work each day with its promises of a croissant for months. Turns out the croissants were only ham and cheese, so assorted donuts...
Day 10 didn't make it very far past lunch, y'all. I came home from work with the intent of cooking a cleansy dinner but Mr. Food Bastard said no. So we went for sushi. The end. Pancakes again. Yay. Leftover citrus chicken and vegetables.
Day 9 I ate leftover pancakes for breakfast, leftover curry again for lunch, and made this dinner. I'm not a huge squash fan but I had some cauliflower and went to roasting. Minty lemony water felt right. The finished product with mushroom soup...
After a couple meals "off" it was time to get confused. I cooked Sunday's breakfast on Monday (there's no way I'm skipping pancakes!) and it all went downhill from there. I'm way off but still cleansing from the same menu so I think it counts. Pancakes ingredients...
I started the day cheating a bit. Brunch is sort of in my blood so we hit up Bistro 31 in HPV for my mom's birthday. Oops. Good thing they have excellent juices and a healthy omelet option. Just as good as the spelt pancakes on the plan for that morning, right? I'll just...
Day 6 featured two scrambled eggs with caramelized onions, butternut squash curry and a salad (because soba noodles with clams sounds disgusting). Eggs with caramelized onions. I'm a fan, except for the overly salty onions due to the recipe being off. Note to none...
Day 5 I had the day off from work. Which made me feel like cheating, but for the most part I stuck it out. It was my mom's birthday and we had lunch together, but I ate chicken on lettuce pretty much, which is similar to what the cleanse called for. Super unsatisfying...
Well, I didn't take a photo of my lunch on Day 4, probably due to the hunger. It was leftovers from Day 3 dinner (the best meal yet), so there was chicken, brown rice with carrots and scallions and bok choy and mustard greens. Breakfast was served in a to-go cup...
Day 3 and it already feels like forever since I started. I've spent a lot of time in my kitchen, y'all. Eggs! Whaa? This was supposed to be a 2-egg omelet with caramelized onions but fuck the onions. I wanted to have good old scrambled eggs. So that's what I ate...
Day 2. Like Day 1 but with different challenges to my gag reflex. Okay it's not THAT bad but it's a lot of work and not enough carbs. Hence, the #cleanserage. Breakfast was supposed to be something called muesli, which seems like a lot of work the night before just...
