Fried Oreos and Stomach Pain at the San Gennaro Feast
So this past weekend I had my first experience with fried Oreos, and let's just say it was a very special moment followed by a slight bout of indigestion. Hey, sometimes we have to take risks in life. It was at the annual San Gennaro Feast in Little Italy, and […]
Honey Mustard Glazed Salmon with Sweet Potato Wedges
This is an incredibly easy meal for two (and you can easily make it for one as well) because everything goes on one pan (or two sheet pans if you have a small oven like I do). 2 4-5 oz salmon fillets 4 tbsp honey mustard 2 tbsp veg oil […]

99-Cent Fresh Pizza…Seriously
In an effort to save some dough, I’ve been on the hunt for awesome food deals and I happened to find one the other day. There’s a tiny little pizzeria near me called 99 Cents Fresh Pizza…and the name doesn’t lie. I remember when I was a kid, one slice […]
New York Burgers Are The New Black
Food is kind of like fashion. Things can be in style (or in this case, in season) one year, and then be completely gone the next. Last year it was boho skirts and organic EVERYTHING; this year it seems to be gladiator sandals and burgers. Apparently the current foodie function […]
