If you have a little extra cash on you for lunch and you like your food with a side of technology, then make the trip over to Foodparc. I'm not going to lie I think it's pricey, but it's a cool concept and most of the food I had was […]

Lemon and Herb Chickpea Salad
This is a salad I make pretty often because it's easy and delicious. Well, if you like a lot of lemon and parmesan cheese it's delicious. It's best served at room temperature and I usually like to let it sit at least overnight so the chickpeas can marinate in the […]
Bites from Rickshaw Dumplings
I dropped in to Rickshaw Dumplings on 23rd st last week for lunch…and it was just ok. Interestingly enough, we had catered a party once with Rickshaw's food and I thought it was much better. Isn't that weird? I like their dumpling fillings, but I thought the dough had that […]

Spanakopita aka Spinach Pie
As promised, I will be sharing some recipes from my big fat Greek Easter. First up? Spanakopita. I don't know too many people who don't love spanakopita. Greek or not, it's a delicious combination of spinach, onions, feta cheese and flaky, buttery, phyllo dough. I put my own spin on it […]
My Big Fat Greek Easter
This year I wanted to host Easter at my place. Why not? I finally have a kitchen big enough to cook the amount of food needed to feed a bunch of hungry Greeks, and I had a few new recipes I wanted to test out. I made the traditional recipes […]
Dinner (But Most Importantly Dessert) at Lavo
I have been to Lavo before for drinks, but I have never had the opportunity to sit down for dinner. One such opportunity presented itself last week with the addition of two words to their menu: Samoa Zeppoles. The Girl Scout cookie-craze has hit Lavo, and they ran with […]
Marshmallow Peeps Rant
It wouldn’t be Easter without me rambling on about my irrational hatred for marshmallow Peeps. Some of you may know this, but I think these popular treats are evil-looking. All lined up straight with those little black eyes staring up at you, judging… The weird thing is that they’re kind […]
