Bacon. It’s truly what started it all. Well, at least for me. When I started my blog in 2008 (yes, seriously), I had a mild obsession with all things bacon. I felt like I shook a Magic 8-ball and turned it over to reveal “bacon”. Bacon used to be just […]

It’s National Bacon Lover’s Day!
What a great day! Let’s all take a moment and thank the social media overlords who come up with these bizarre food holidays. Gives me an excuse to celebrate one of my favorite foods (bacon, duh). Thank you, #NationalBaconLoversDay, for falling on a Sunday. Now we pray: I like to […]
Breakfast (and a Book Party) at: Sadelle’s
If you’ve never heard of Sadelle’s, allow me to introduce you to your new favorite bagel and breakfast restaurant. I don’t know what it is; maybe it’s the delicious bagels and assortments of shmears, the blintzes that remind me of my Safta’s, or the overall decor and energy that just says […]
Candied Bacon Churro Margarita For Cinco de Mayo Via FoodKick
It’s almost Cinco de Mayo! That means…gratuitous drinking and eating. That’s why I have partnered with FreshDirect and their cool new delivery service FoodKick to create this completely unnecessary margarita. Now when I say unnecessary, I mean that it’s excessive and aggressive in it’s form, but that doesn’t mean it’s […]
Schaller’s Stube Sausage Bar
If you’re anything like me, you probably read that name and giggled a little bit. Or maybe you don’t have the sense of humor of a 12 year old boy. But I digress. I stopped by the new sausage spot next to Schaller & Weber (one of my favorite meat shops) […]
Halloween Candy, Bacon, Pretzels & PB-Caramel Apples
Halloween is a few days away. Are you prepared?! Do you have goblins, ghosts, and Goobers all ready to go? Or witches, bats, and Kit Kats? If you don’t, I suggest you get on that. I got my supply of chocolate candy from the good people over at FreshDirect, along […]
Shakshuka Eggs Benedict with Bacon and Chili Oil
I love shakshuka; it’s a classic Mediterranean dish with eggs poached in a tomato, onion and chili pepper sauce. Doesn’t sound like much but trust me, it’s heaven. I had the crave over the weekend, and I just got my FIRST cast iron skillet, so I thought I’d give it […]
Polenta Stacks With Mushroom Sauce and Chili Dusted Bacon Crumbles
This recipe is a bit more refined than what you’re used to seeing from me, but when I’m challenged, I don’t back down. Here’s the backstory: a friend of mine was talking about how restaurants at The Wynn in Las Vegas now have vegan options, as if that were strange. I feel […]
Big Bertha: The Giant German Sandwich
I don’t know if it’s my out of control appetite or the out of control winter weather here in NYC, but either way I’m all about the comfort food lately. I wanted to create a really big sandwich, and this is what I came up with: all of my favorite […]
Crazy Delicious Brunch at Queens Comfort
This place may have just reaffirmed my love for my hometown. Yes, I am a Queens girl. Grew up in Astoria, then moved to Bayside, and my mom still lives there. She’s reppin the Baysizzle HARD. That last part right there is a good example of why I don’t brag about being […]
