Greetings and salutations, loyal followers. As you may all have noticed, I have been gone for a while. My sincerest apologies. A small mishap with the blog server kind of snowballed into a bigger issue, and it took a little longer than planned to get us back up and running. But, back we are! Sorry
Casa Mofongo (A Review)
My obsession with mofongo is still going strong since my trip to Benny’s Seafood ignited it about 2 years ago. Since then, it has actually surprised me how hard it is to find a decent plate of mofongo in South Florida. I mean, short of flying to the Caribbean, where else in the country is
Cuban-Style Roast Pork
Skip to Recipe As a native South Floridian, I have eaten my fair share of Cuban Style Roast Pork (Lechon Asado). It’s easy to find pretty much anywhere in Miami, but can often be dry and bland. And, since it’s not particularly difficult to prepare, it makes more sense to just make your own. Anytime
Taurus – A Review
In a city like Miami, restaurants come and go a LOT. Oftentimes, they close without warning. On this particular day, that is exactly what happened. I took a drive to Coconut Grove with a friend of mine to use a voucher for an Italian joint that we both really like, only to find that it
Mango Madness in July – Part 2 (2015 Chapter)
We have reached the tail end of Mango Season here in South Florida. And, my successful experimentation during last year’s mango season gained me a reputation at the office. In fact, I think I got at least twice as many mangoes this year as I did last year. They just kept them coming! There are
Mango Cinnamon Rolls
Skip to Recipe Do you ever get an idea that is just so crazy, you just HAVE to try it to see if it will actually work? That happened to me one afternoon, as another bag of the endless supply of mangoes from my coworker’s tree appeared by my desk this Mango Season. There I
Chocolate Dulce De Leche Rolls
Skip to Recipe One of the plus sides of knowing your way around the kitchen is that food is quite often an acceptable form of currency in my social circle. Oftentimes, people will happily trade goods and services for the right dish. And, really, who ISN’T more likely to lend a helping hand if it
Embarcadero 41 (A Review)
Embarcadero 41 caught my attention a few months ago for being a Peruvian restaurant that was slightly on the fancier side. Since it’s located in Downtown Miami, and hard to get to (parking in Downtown is always a nightmare), it took me a while to get myself to go check it out.
Dulce de Leche Brownies
Skip to Recipe When I was a teenager, I wasn’t allowed to get a job. My “job,” I was told, was to get good grades. So, in order to make a little bit of spending money, I started making brownies and selling them at school. I quickly became known as “Brownie Girl,” and it would
Burger Battle 2015
If you’ve been following the blog for a while, then you know that Burger Battle is one of my top most anticipated food events every year. And, since we know that I hate driving, the fact that I drive up to Ft. Lauderdale every year for this should say it all. You’ve got all of
