Skip to recipe Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and LOVE is in the air. In my case, it’s love of delicious things. For me, food has always been a very emotional experience. As such, making food is one of the ways that I express myself. Nothing makes me happier than to feed the
Before a certain ramen place opened up in Brickell, my experiences with ramen were limited to the cheap kind that comes in packets. You probably know the kind. That stuff has kept many college kids from starving to death. Hell, it even got me through a rough patch post-college. For a few months, my diet
Skip to recipe When I was younger, Heath bars were one of my mother’s favorite candy bars. I am pretty sure that I inherited my love of caramel from her, and chocolate covered crunchy toffee is right up her alley. She has always had an obsession with crunchy things. She likes her cookies crunchy instead
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.

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 I originally made these to get rid of some leftover pumpkin that I had been using for another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
Another year, another barrage of burger competitions. As usual, Burgerliscious in Coral Gables is the last burger festival that I attend every year, and the competition was fierce! Local restaurants brought out their “A” game. And, as usual, some fared better than others. I enjoy the fact that a lot of these competitors tend challenge my
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
