Ah, burgers. Like most “All-American” foods, burgers are basically a balanced meal. You’ve got all of the primary food groups: meat, dairy, vegetables, fruit (yes, tomato is a fruit), and grain. It’s the balanced meal that you can hold in your hand! What more could you possibly ask for? Okay, maybe a delicious burger that’s
Skip to recipe The title says it all, but I will say it again: Irish Cream Brownie Trifles. Pieces of brownie are layered with Irish Cream pastry cream, then topped with a swirl of whipped cream and garnished with a chocolate covered espresso bean. Itty, bitty bites of happiness in an itty, bitty dish. Who
Skip to recipe I owe all of you a sincere apology. I really wanted to have this recipe posted before Thanksgiving, because it’s such an ideal breakfast for the holiday. Unfortunately, things happened, and here we are. I originally made these to get rid of some leftover pumpkin that I had been using for another
Decent Mexican food is very hard to come by in South Florida. Sure, there are pockets here and there, as well as the occasional “hidden gems,” but stellar Mexican food is not something that South Florida is known for. It sucks for people like me, who would eat tacos several times a week if I

Skip to recipe I love my friends, but they are a bunch of enablers. Instead of going outside or having a life, I prefer to spend my free time trying new things out in the kitchen. They are happy to oblige, always providing me with recipes that caught their eye or that they think I
Skip to recipe Anime and people who watch anime often get a bad rap. Anime fans are often associated with weirdos or basement dwellers. Anime itself is often written off as either childish or too “adult.” Granted, they can be both, and sometimes at the exact same time! Still, every now and then, an anime
In Miami, it’s sometimes hard to find a restaurant that specializes in one specific type of cuisine. Being the melting pot that it is, a lot of restaurants end up being “fusion” restaurants, or restaurants that offer dishes that originated in different countries. “Latin” restaurants will usually be a combination of Cuban cuisine and any
Skip to Recipe Ever since a recent experience using puff pastry, I have been dying to find another use for it. The problem is, I’m not a particularly big fan of cooked fruit fillings, as evidenced by the lack of fruit pies and the like on my blog. I kept wondering what I could put
Japanese Peruvian fusion restaurants are a dime a dozen in Miami these days, and with good reason. Peruvian food has a lot of Japanese influences. I had been eyeing Sokai for a while, and even walked in once to take a look at their menu and felt my jaw drop at their prices. Still, I
