TDay Gluten-Free Stuffing – NYC
Yes, you read that title right, gluten-free stuffing. This year, after going two years without, my mom decided to bring Thanksgiving turkey back. Not because of me, mind you. It turns out my little nephew likes turkey now, and of course whatever my nephew wants, my mom gives. Which brings into question, does my mom love my nephew more than me?! Uh… Regardless, as is the case when we do have turkey, I’m in charge of the stuffing. I make the same spicy cornbread stuffing with sausage every time with a few variations here and there. For example, since my non-pork eating BF wasn’t joining us this year, I happily threw in a pound of spicy Italian pork sausages instead of the less tasty, less fatty turkey links. And no question, it made a big difference. However, what also made a huge difference was the gluten-free cornbread. MORE »

Addictive Sweets at Dominique Ansel – NYC
11.23.12 | Permalink | 5 Comments
Happy Belated Thanksgiving! Hope everyone is feeling happily fat and full! I have a lot of things to be thankful for this year, as well as a lot of unthankful things (you a$$holes know who you are!), and one of those things is that I don’t live closer to Dominique Ansel Bakery. Not that I hate the place, but the bakery of Dominique Ansel (the ex-Executive Pastry Chef of Daniel) is too damn addictive. The place is serious trouble for your waistline and your wallet. So if you’re prone to unhealthy dependencies like I am, divert your eyes and move one. Everyone else, let’s dive into the rabbit hole of gluttony together, shall we? MORE »

Downtown Sandwich Love – NYC
I’m not a big sandwich person (more of a noodle soup girl), but this past weekend, all I ate were sandwiches. Not sure what happened, but when a craving hits, you just run with it. And I’m glad I did, because I think I just discovered a contender to my favorite downtown sandwich, Katz’s pastrami on rye. MORE »

Eat Downtown Post-Sandy – NYC
I’m back in the East Village! The power came back last Friday, and although it was nice to spend some quality time with the family, there’s just so many nights one can attempt sleep on a hard, Korean grain-filled pillow, and just so many days one can watch the Disney channel (my nephew’s station of choice) without going mad. So I’m back. It’s good to be home. And it’s almost back to normal downtown. Almost… MORE »
