Banana Oatmeal “Cookies”
04.15.13 | Permalink | 3 Comments
I’d very loosely call these treats cookies. Why? The recipe is basically two ingredients, oats and bananas, plus a few add-ins. Also, it’s pretty healthy. Probably with my add-ins they’re only about 40 calories each, but don’t let that scare you. These “cookies” are actually very tasty, like baked banana oatmeal in portable form. Extremely noshable as you check your email in the morning with a cup of coffee. Kids, or at least one kid, like them too. Adam, my picky seven-year-old nephew, happily finished off two after dinner with barely any coaxing. But since calling them Banana Oatmeal Discs or Rounds isn’t going to get them any takers, let’s call them Banana Oatmeal “Cookies.” Quotes not optional. MORE »

Grapefruit Margarita with Dobel Tequila
03.29.13 | Permalink | 3 Comments
Whether you’re employed or not, a drink on a Friday is always a good idea. These days, perhaps because of the warmer weather, I’m all about margaritas. Luckily, the good people over at Dobel — founded by Juan Domingo Beckmann Legoretta (the sixth-generation producer of Jose Cuervo) — sent me a bottle of their beautiful tequila to try, and I must say, it’s quite interesting.

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 »

Grand Tasting at the NYC Wine & Food Festival – NYC
I still have an infinite amount of Asian fooding photos to go through, but I thought I would take a break and write about last week’s Grand Tasting at the New York City Wine & Food Festival (NYCWFF). Last Saturday, David and I spent an hour and a half at Pier 54 where lots of wine and food were to be had. We ate, drank, and ate some more, but since I want to keep this post to a reasonable length, covered here are just the day’s most delectable bites. MORE »
